Reflection On Communicative Tool.

Communicative Tool:

A communicative tool is any software, application, or computer technology that helps people to exchange and share information with each other. In teaching and learning, a communicative tool is used by teachers and students to communicate, ask questions, give answers, share ideas, and communicate. The tools help make learning interactive, fun, and meaningful. They prove to be specially helpful when learners are in batches, studying at home, or even when educators need to accumulate responses and feedback from everyone effortlessly. Communicative tools enable teachers and learners both to feel connected and included as part of the learning process.



WhatsApp video call- we discussed on educating peers and it was very useful for undergraduate students like us as WhatsApp allow us to have a long time conversion unlike zoom which is time limited. (Picture was clicked as a memory). 


How using communicative tool (WhatsApp) is helpful in teaching and learning?

Being a student teacher, I have learned that communication is very important in teaching. One of the tools I believe is simple and efficient is WhatsApp. Even though I am not a full-time teacher yet, I have seen how WhatsApp can help in teaching and learning during my training, peer engagement, and group assignments.

WhatsApp is convenient and many of our students and faculty members already use it on their mobile phones. While on practice teaching and in study sessions with my peer tutors, we could not help using WhatsApp to network, share thought ideas, and give each other assistance. Through WhatsApp, we discussed lessons before and after classes, shared instructional materials, and resolved doubts and issues beyond our class time.

One of the tools that I found very useful is the group video call. We used this tool in an effort to discuss problems together, talk about our micro-teaching lessons, and provide feedback. These group video calls allowed us to see and hear each other, and it made our discussion more interactive and engaging. It was more personal than texting, and all of us had a chance to speak and listen.

I also utilized the WhatsApp tool for sharing PDF notes, pictures, and short educational videos that related to our lessons. This helped in creating a small circle of learning where we could continue to learn outside of school hours. Sometimes, my friends would join in by asking questions or adding more resources to the group discussion, which made learning collaborative.

Another feature of WhatsApp that I found useful is the voice message option. I used it when I needed to explain something quickly and briefly. I found it useful when I had issues with typing long messages or when I needed to give clear directions. Listening to voice notes from individuals also helped me better understand things.

Although we are not yet in charge of full classrooms or interacting with parents, applying WhatsApp in our training has helped me see how much of an impact it can have on learning, reflection, and communication with peers. It is essential, though, to use it responsibly and remain mindful of the purpose of learning.

Finally, as a future teacher, I believe WhatsApp is a good communicative tool. It allows easy sharing, group conversations, and video communication. I look forward to using it more in class one day to build an interesting and supportive learning community.

My name is Kezang Wangmo Darjee, and I am 20 years old. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree in education at Paro college of Education, 2nd year. I completed my high school from Karma Academy in the year 2022.  I am currently enjoying my degree because this college is the place I prayed for, and for that I studied day and night, just hoping I get through the criteria and make my parents proud. My parents motivated me and encouraged me, even though I did not enjoy being at Karma Academy, I survived and a part of me feels thankful towards that school because I am here today because of Karma Academy. It laid the foundation for my future.  As a child, I really enjoyed being in the kitchen and trying out new recipes. and as an adult also, cooking and baking is still my hobby. I love to cook and bake for my families; it just makes me the happiest. even in the future, I just hope that my friends and families will enjoy having my food just as they do today. it keeps me moving ...

Summary.

It's interesting to consider these concepts of communicative, informative, and co-construction tools. As a student teacher, it's been greatly enlightening to consider how we've utilized these technologies. Considering WhatsApp, it's not simply an application for messaging, is it? That video call with my classmates, surrounded by our phones, trying to craft an explanation of a tricky idea – that's the picture that truly freezes a moment of collective learning. It wasn't so much discovering the answer; it was talking through it, listening to others' ideas, and having it confirmed. To this day, I value how much those informal discussions helped to build our knowledge and our bond as prospective teachers. It's simple to use, simple to access, and it's where the majority of our actual working together happened. And, there's our university VLE. It's slightly more structured, like our academic portal, I think. Scrolling through the lecture materials...

  Informative Tool An information tool is something that gives us information we can use and enables us to learn more about a topic. It can be in various forms. For example, it could be a book explaining a topic, a website with facts, an app that educates you step by step, or even a video showing us how something works. Chapters, graphs, and diagrams are also instruments of information because they enable us to see and understand information better visually. Such instruments are made to inform, guide, or describe something in a more simple manner. Others utilize them in school, when they use it at work, or on a daily basis so that they may look for something or understand something better. Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is our college website where we get access to lot of lecture notes and assignments and even information. How VLE is useful in our teaching and learning ? A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is an information device as it provides a virtual platform where lear...
