ICT in teaching and learning

Google Docs is a helpful ICT tool that lets people work together on one document at the same time. It allows easy sharing, editing, and saving of work online. Students and teachers can use it to write, give feedback, and learn from each other in a simple and fast way.

In today's digital classrooms, constructive tools are a crucial aspect of renforcing both instructional strategies and student learning. The tools—e.g., Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs, and Canva —allow students to create, build, and construct understanding by being actively involved. They complement constructivist learning theory, which places learning in action as a construction process of meaning rather than passively receiving information. Google Docs and Canva are two examples from many more around us. Google Docs provides collaboration in real-time, which supports collaborative work wherein students work together in constructing essays, stories, and reports. It offers commenting and revision options, which makes it effective for peer review. Canva is a design software that students used to produce posters, infographics, and presentations based on environmental awareness topics. It enabled students to graph their comprehension utilizing creative thinking and design ab...

Email is a widely used communicative tool in ICT that allows users to send and receive messages instantly across the world. It supports sharing of text, documents, images, and links, making communication faster, more efficient, and cost-effective for both personal and professional use.

It has many videos on different topics like science, art, and everyday skills, which help people understand things better by watching and [ listening. You can learn at your own pace by pausing or replaying videos, making YouTube a fun and helpful way to gain new knowledge.

In today's classrooms, every student is different. There are students who have disabilities that do not enable them to speak, hear, or write. As teachers, it is our mandate to help everyone participate in learning. That is why ICT communication tools are extremely vital in inclusive learning. Communication tools are technologies that help people communicate their ideas and emotions. In an inclusive classroom, a student who cannot speak well may employ a Text-to-Speech (TTS) program, which voices what they are typing. A second student who cannot write can employ a Speech-to-Text program in order to speak and have their words transcribed to writing. For example, a child with autism can employ an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) program with symbols and images so that they can speak and communicate what they need to convey. These tools must be used on a daily basis, not as an exception. For instance, when working in groups, a student can use a communication board or an...

In today's digital age, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has a revolutionary role to play in the teaching-learning process. Among its many applications, ICT as a tool for information significantly enables the teacher and learner alike to access the right content, enhancing the learner's participation and making learning more learner-cantered. Using websites, learning platforms, digital libraries, and online tutorials, information is rendered more accessible, current, and diverse in form. During my study of ICT as a learning tool, I used websites such as Khan Academy, YouTube, and National Geographic Kids to supplement classroom instruction. These websites provided visual and auditory experiences that complemented students' learning. For example, when learning about the solar system, a 3D virtual tour of the planets on NASA's official website captivated the students far more than pictures in textbooks. The availability of multimedia and interactive content...
