Reflection

As a student and future teacher, I have experienced how useful and powerful ICT can be in the teaching and learning process. It is not just about using computers or projectors in the classroom, but about how these tools can help students learn together, find information, and stay connected with each other and with their teachers.

When ICT is used as a co-constructive tool, it helps students to work together and build knowledge as a group. I remember using Google Docs during a group project where all group members could write, edit, and share ideas at the same time. This made our work more organised and meaningful. We could easily see each other’s ideas and give suggestions. It made learning more interactive and fun because we were building something together.

As an informative tool, ICT gives us access to so much knowledge beyond the textbook. Whenever I want to understand a topic better, I can search for videos, online articles, or pictures that explain it clearly. For example, when learning about the solar system, I watched a virtual space tour which made the topic more interesting and helped me remember better. ICT encourages me to explore and learn independently.

ICT is also very helpful as a communication tool. During the times when we had online classes, we used Google Meet and other apps to stay connected with our teachers and classmates. We could ask questions, share ideas, and even help each other with classwork. It made learning easier and more personal, especially when we could not meet face-to-face.

In conclusion, ICT has become an important part of education. When used properly, it helps make learning more active, informative, and connected. It is something I want to use wisely in my future classroom.
