Constructive tool

Constructive tool

Constructivism is an ideology in which learners create their own knowledge intentionally, or make it their own. This approach helps accentuate teaching and learning as students build their own interpretation, make meaning and knowledge, involve learners constantly, and encourage critical thought. From the lesson I got to realize that the void is being filled up in this world of emerging native nations by linking the approach to ICT. There, technology provides innovative methods of teaching and studying, produces more learner-centered pedagogy, and allows learners to be an inventor of the resources for their own studying.

So far we have been using constructive tools that help us improve users' creativity. We have learned that constructive tools are general-purpose tools that can be used to manipulate information, create knowledge of one's own or visualize one 's understanding. The word 'constructive' stems from the fact that, for a given instructional reason, these tools allow users to create a certain tangible. The word 'constructive' stems from the fact that those tools allow users to create a certain tangible product for a given instructional reason. The concept map program allows users to brainstorm and visualize their understanding of the relationships within a concept set, for example. Desktop publishing software helps users coordinate and display their ideas in an attractive format. Webpage editors encourage users to create their own WebPages and share with the world their ideas. The term, Spreadsheet, and PowerPoint are designed to organize, replicate, log, manipulate and display their ideas in the form of notes, papers, emails, presentations, document routine details in an attractive way.

Word processors are systems that in their early versions have acted as an automated typewriter but these days have advanced so much with their editing capability that spell checkers, grammar checkers, and thesauri have now become important components of the device. Word processors also serve to support written instruction. The method written approach is typically divided into stages such as pre-writing, brainstorming, description, editing, revision, and printing. In keeping with this approach, students may use the outliner function of a word processor to brainstorm main writing ideas first. It helps the users to work together in pairs after brainstorming to discuss how to organize some of the ideas and agree on the presentation sequence using the outliner.

Simulation work using PowerPoint tool (one of the constructive tools)

Simulations are defined as the programs simulating real-life environments. You can also use the visualization systems, models, and their relatives as proactive devices. When we were asked to explore and create one page of stimulated advertising to attract visitors using PowerPoint presentation tools to draw visitors to my own locality it was an enriching and difficult experience for me. I got to learn how to use our ideas in a useful way. Since I was first exploring how to make a simulation, first I had to search for information about how to do it and how to work on it. I think it was a very difficult thing, but wanting to figure out myself was worth it. I realized that constructive tools provide students with the functionality to manipulate some type of information from which they can build a deep understanding of a given concept in all subjects). Constructive tools are especially useful in supporting the process of 'playing with ideas' or involving complicated visualization.
