 Constructive tool A constructive tool is any digital application or platform that enables learners to construct, organize, and apply their knowledge. These tools promote active learning by encouraging students to create content, reflect on their understanding, and engage with deeply with the content. In educational settings, constructive tools are used to enhance productivity, organizing lessons, managing tasks, and promoting student engagement and responsibility. One constructive tool I found especially helpful during my training is Camtasia, a screen recording and video editing software that enables users to create instructional videos, tutorials, presentations, and other educational content. As a student teacher, I found Camtasia very helpful for creating engaging and informative video lessons.                                                 Image: Camtasia Vi...

 Informative Tool An informative tool is any application that provides vast repositories of information or content to learners. Their main purpose is to inform, guide, and support independent learning. In educational setting, informative tools help students and teachers in gathering, sharing, and using information efficiently and effectively. One informative tool we used during our teaching and learning experience was Google Forms. Google Forms is an  online platform that allows teachers to create quizzes, surveys, and forms to collect information from students. It is considered an informative tool because it enables both teachers and students to gather and understand data quickly and easily. Teachers can use it to assess understanding, give quizzes and gather student feedback. It also helps students learn by giving them instant feedback on their responses.                                   ...

  Communicative Tool A communicative tool refers to any technology or application that allows sharing of information and ideas. In the context of education, communication tools help maintain communication between students and teachers, promote collaboration, and provide support outside regular class hours. They are especially useful when working in groups, learning remotely, or when teachers need to gather student feedback efficiently.  One such tool I explored during my training is Telegram. As a student teacher, i discovered that Telegram is a highly effective and a modern platform for communication where i have used it for peer discussions, sharing resources, and coordinating discussions.                                         Image: Telegram Group Chat Interface: This screenshot shows a Telegram study group used during our collaborative lesson planning.
