ICT as Communicative tool

Information and Communication Technology as Communicative tool:

Information and Communication technology as communicative tools allows efficient communication between teacher and students, between student and students, or between teacher and parents to discuss about the progress of the students learning or either beyond it depending upon time, space and place. For example like, such as e-mail, and online discussion forum are the examples of technology software we used for communication.

Basically under the technology as communicative tools we have learnt that there are two different types of communication namely synchronous (real time) communication where two people must be connected simultaneously at same time. This type of communication enables real time communication that can also be used as instructional activities and helps students to address their issues or problems and get solved immediately. Some synchronous communicative tools are; telephone call, videoconferencing and etc…

The second one is asynchronous where the people are not required to be logged on internet at same time. This type of communication tools is tools is used if in case the activities need longer time to think before responding. Examples like: e-mail, we-chat and etc…

Moreover we have also learnt what, how and why blog in education. Blog is an online journal or informational websites where a writer or even a group of writer shares their views on specific subjects. Using blog has adverse impact on children learning where it motivates students to become better reader and writer, promote collaborative learning and promote autonomous learning by making them control over their own learning.
