Reflection; ICT as an informative tool


Informative tools are applications which provides varieties of information in various formats of text, sound, image and videos. A student reading a text online or stored in a computer, listening to an audio, or simply looking at an image and making meaning out of it or watching a video online are all receiving information on the their topic through different means based on their choice.
Some main ICT based information sources are;
1.     Television
2.     Radio
3.     Newspapers
4.     Internet (www, social media, forums…etc.)


Internet being by far the most popular source of information and the preferred choice for information ahead of other information sources. While using internet as an informative tool we are provided with raw materials that needs to be organized, analyzed and synthesized to expand our knowledge and understanding.



Computers are very important and relevant tools that adheres teachers to provide effective and conducive classroom learning. It provides space for students to learn by themselves, where teacher can provide all the required information for students to work on or post it on websites or forums where students have the access. This is a tool where learner gets to learn independently whereby they get to explore, think critically, activate their knowledge, develop research skills and learn to integrate relevant information. Thus making the work of teacher and learners easier and faster.



Thank you.
