Communicative tool
In this session, we have learned about the communicative tool. It refers to the applications, apps, or technology which fosters easy communication between teachers and students and amongst the students beyond the physical barrier either by learning face to face or outside the classroom. Some of the examples includes, social media apps, email, discussion groups, virtual, online meeting groups, blogging and etc. it is important to integrate communicative tool in teaching and learning phases. It not only enhances the interaction between the teachers and students but it increases the profitability by increasing efficiency and faster sharing of information. Moreover, communicative tool plays a vital role in providing clarity and coherence to make the learning comprehensive thereby helping them to communicate their thoughts and ideas. The best way to make use of the communicative tool is by collaborating and communicating using google docs, and google slides during teaching and learning process. Communicating using social media apps for sharing ideas with friends and teachers, and the blog to further communicate the knowledge and ideas. We can also use the learning management system such as virtual learning environment so as to foster the effective communication of our thoughts and ideas. In all, communicative tool is a two way process and it is of two types: synchronous and asynchronous communication. Synchronous communication is a type of communication which happens at a real time and involve activities that require a higher degree of interaction-web video conferencing (zoom meeting). The examples includes; online chats, telephone calls and video conferencing. On the other hand, asynchronous communication doesn’t require the people communicating to be logged on the internet at the same time. The communication doesn’t happen at the real time whereby the learning content can be learned as per the time and schedule conveniently. Some of the examples are pre-recorded video, discussion forum, WeChat, telegrams, and google classroom.
