The computer as an informative tool was about using the computer for information. It basically took me in learning with and learning from ICT. To teach well, we need to be mindful of how learners learn and get more effective information. We must focus on learning with ICT as it involves the learners and an effective way to get information. I learned that we need to plan lessons and activities in such a way that students learn with ICT. It was interesting for me to know that computer is not just a source of information but also medium of information.
Under computer as a communicative tool, I learned and explored the communicative tools like online chat, discussion forum, and social networking sites. From these tools, we can use either synchronous or asynchronous communication. Synchronous means both the individuals have to be online and communication should happen simultaneously. Examples of, Phone call, video conferencing, Skype. Whereas In asynchronous both the individual need not have to be online. They can drop the message whenever they feel convenient. Examples of Wechat, messenger, email etc. Constructing lesson on informative tools really engaged me in using every tool which was very relevant to use in this modern schooling system.
