ICT
as an informative tool
The
ICT can be integrated in our classroom as an informative tool. Example;
television, radio and the very popular one internet. There are many informative
tools and it’s very important to know or select the right informative tool
because when we are unable to differentiate those, we usually end up misusing
it. If used properly, these applications provide us with vast repositories of
information/content to learners’ activity in the form of graphic, sound, text,
audio and video. 
ICT
as an informative too in our lesson/classroom provides an information for both
the teacher and the student. Teachers’ can get new ideas on how to teach the
lesson and how to make the lesson more interactive and when it comes to
students, it provides additional information on the lesson taught by the
teacher. After obtaining information, it is important for the student to
analyze, synthesize and manipulate the information.
Let
me talk about some of the benefits of using informative tools, it helps us to
integrate our idea with the relevant idea from the source. For example, after
extracting relevant ideas from the source, we need to analyze the information
to make it easier. Even when we search for information online, we get new
skills such as critical thinking skills through analyzing the information.
Finally, we can also learn how to sort information by evaluating resources
according to their validity and reliability.
Therefore,
until and unless we don’t misuse the informative tools, there are unlimited
advantages of using ICT as an informative tool. Such as, for those visual
learner’s ICT provides information in a graphic form, for auditory learner’s,
it provides information in a recorded audio form. For kinetics learner, ICT
provides videos on different activities to carry out and they can learn by
doing. Therefore, if we use ICT properly it can provide us with unlimited
knowledge and information which can be very useful for our day to day life. |
