Co-constructive Tool

ICT as co-constructive

Co-constructive tools of ICT is currently the focus of much interest and emerging as the development of new tools that make online collaborative projects draw a realistic option for a distributed group work. The Internet can be used for many collaborative activities such as meetings; discussions are taking place, working in the document, information dissemination, and other tasks.

Interactive google classroom is not just used as tools for meeting and development, but recently became a little popular tool among teachers in some schools in the country.  This tool is increasingly popular with teachers when used in conjunction with the internet and it produces an interactive learning community. Instead of having to crowd around one or two computers, interactive google classroom not only displays the materials but also to respond to human interaction with computer commands and orders on a touch screen.

In addition, these technologies provide impulsive information sharing, constructing knowledge and stimulate personal growth. Other collaborative tools, such as E-mail messaging, Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) embedded in micro-browser equipped mobile phones or GPRS enabled handheld computers are other ICT tools that can link students in different geographic locations exceeding the boundaries of class.

In addition, the development of a mobile phone allows learners to exchange information in a short time simultaneously and asynchronously, and provides flexibility for one to one, one-to-many and many-to-many communication, especially for the online discussion forum. In conclusion, "learning is no longer seen as a solitary activity but is described as taking place through social interaction with peers, mentors, and experts.

 How we can integrate google classroom in the teaching and learning?

 We can integrate google classroom in the teaching and learning by setting up a google classroom and have to invite the students in the google classroom so that they can share information through discussion. The teacher must responsible in creating classes, distributes assignments, communicate, and stay organised, all in one place. In order to integrate google classroom in the teaching and learning, it is also the responsibility of the teacher to inspect which students have completed their assignments and need to provide feedback and grades. Teachers have to provide materials online so that students can expose to an online learning system as they go through the materials provided by the teachers. Students need to communicate with friends online through discussion by asking question. All the students must actively participate in the google classroom so that they share their ideas each other which help them to build their knowledge.
