Co-Construction

ICT as a co-constructive Tool

VLE discussion forum

Co-constructive tools support the construction of some tangible projects by students as a manifestation of their knowledge construction. Nonetheless, these methods vary from proactive methods in that students work collaboratively with them to develop a common understanding, rather than working individually to create some sort of personal knowledge. The co-constructive tool encourages both the teacher and the students to produce an efficient result. The usage of collaborative technology in an instructional sense improves student interaction with the material of the course, enriches the learning experience, and promotes active involvement through curriculum development. A co-constructive tool such as Google docs (docs.google.com), electronic whiteboard, Blogs and wikis, facebook, and discussion forum on portals (pce.edu.bt).

Google Doc

Co-constructive resources allowed us involved in the classroom as we could create a lesson plan as a community via Google Docs. It was also observed that it was easy for the instructor to determine how many participants engaged in the exercise or not. Using this application, each member of a group was given the opportunity to share their views while planning a lesson plan on any subject. In addition, if one of the members commits mistakes, the other members can modify them immediately. This was the amazing experience I had because we didn't know how to do a group activity before and when. I thought it was going to be taught in the first year so that we could use this application to discuss any kind of work before. Help individualized instruction and gives us valuable formative comments that will help improve the quality of the work. Google Documents lets us develop community tasks, allowing us to connect and share digitally while improving our learning experience.

On the other side, Google Docs led us to misalign any perception of a participant. Around the same time, various participants offer specific views, so we are puzzled about how we will respond so agree on comments. If everybody responds to the topics that concern us, it's hard to decipher all the details. While we've got a comment list on the right side of the messages we've all sent at once and we can't make sure our points are in order. The suggestion I can give in this lesson is Google docs can be appropriate if we can complete our tasks when all the members are present in the session. If not through online discussion, the task won’t be that effective as all the members write at the same time.

Facebook as a co-constructive tool 
where peers can give 
constructive comments on our work

Using blog and Facebook as a co-constructive tool help learners to comment on each other work for further furnishing of the write-up and works. To use blogs in constructive learning is an online learning journal in which we reflect on our perceptions of the learning materials (ICT Tools). To get a clear sense of this, we've commented on ten of our friend's blogs and commented on how the author learns from the reflections and builds on the knowledge, often fed and stimulated by comments from other educational bloggers. In addition, publishing blogs publicly on the Web can provide a measure of the accuracy of learning tasks. We noticed that blogging software offers a valuable cognitive tool by automating the development, editing, and posting of materials, and by freeing students from the actual task at hand. But we also noticed that adding a real audience by posting assignments on the web creates authentic discourse, and forces learners to think more carefully about articulation. We found that the potential of actual readers, combined with the feedback they received, had a positive impact on their students' writing skills (reflection). Power of comments: input and constructive analysis through comments on blog articles may be effective support tools; they offer direct and comprehensive responses to the suggestions and opinions of the learner.
