Summary and Critical Analysis ICT as Constructive, Informative, and Communicative Tools Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an essential role in modern education as a constructive, informative, and communicative tool. When used as a constructive tool , ICT allows students to actively build knowledge by using software like digital mind maps, coding programs, or project-based platforms such as Canva and Scratch. This supports learner-centered education, creativity, and critical thinking. Students engage in problem-solving, explore STEM fields, and create multimedia content, encouraging autonomy and innovation. However, challenges like limited digital access, poor infrastructure, or lack of digital literacy can limit the effectiveness of ICT in this role. As an informative tool , ICT helps both teachers and students access a vast amount of knowledge. Platforms like Google, YouTube, and Khan Academy provide updated and diverse content that supports different learning styl...

ICT as a Constructive Tool Reflection: ICT as a Constructive Tool ICT as a constructive tool is the use of computer tools to allow students to be actively engaged in constructing, creating, and building new knowledge. Constructive ICT applications, as opposed to passive viewing of content, invite students to engage with information, solve problems, and create new ideas. This function is better demonstrated by tools like digital mind mapping software (e.g., Mind Meister), simulations (e.g., PhET), coding platforms (e.g., Scratch), multimedia development software, and project-based software (e.g., Canva, Google Slides). Constructive ICT learning tools emphasize learner-centered instruction whereby learners collaborate to construct knowledge, which aligns with constructivist and experiential learning principles. Learners are able to use these tools to produce responses, integrate knowledge, and apply critical thinking. Students can learn STEM and innovation through using coding software t...

ICT as an Communicative Tool Reflection: ICT as an Communicative Tool Digital technology as a communication tool is the use of digital instruments to support individuals or groups in interacting, co-operating, and sharing information within learning environments. Some examples of these technologies are instant messaging software, discussion forums, e-mail, learning management systems like Moodle or Google Classroom, and video conferencing applications like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. Geographical and temporal constraints in education are eliminated through ICT, facilitating real-time as well as asynchronous communication. ICT's role as a communication tool is critical to enabling social interaction, collaboration, and learner engagement—each of which is critical to building constructivist models of learning theory. It engages students to be part of the process of creating knowledge by inquiry, conversation, and the sharing of ideas with teachers and others. The software...

I am a scout       I am from a small village called Panglogang but most people just say just Bjurugang an adjacent village and know for its popularity. I am 21 years old, I studied my primary schooling at Lungtengang Primary school at the village myself. Waking early in the morning and going to school with an EVA  and a plate with the geometry box inside the gho was just memorable.          Am I being too loud! "I'm sorry". I missed my days at home with th...
