 Reflection on constructive tools


Constructive tools are non-digital and digital tools that support learners to construct their own knowledge. Constructive tools propel the learners forward in active participation, critical thinking, and creativity, as compared to passive reception of information. Constructive tools also help learners to stay connected with content and develop meaningful products that display understanding.

 Examples of constructive tools include concept mapping software, presentation tools such as PowerPoint, Canva, and instructional simulations such as PhET. One of the very popular constructive tools being used in education today is Google Classroom. Google Classroom enables teachers to create, share, and organize assignments on the web and enables students to interact with content, work together with peers, and reflect on learning. Google Classroom facilitates an interactive and student-centered learning experience through the utilization of tools such as announcements, discussions, and assignment feedback. We can use constructive tools like Google Classroom in education.

 We instructors can upload engaging content like links, articles, and videos that address different learning styles of students. The students themselves can also upload assignments, get instant feedback, and ask questions on the site itself. The collaborative Google Docs or Slides can be used for teamwork in which students can work and build knowledge. The class stream also provides a means to communicate and continually interact, even outside the conventional classroom setup. This offers more flexible, inclusive, and responsive learning that addresses the unique needs of individual students. Constructive instruments have greatly assisted me both academically and personally in life. Academically, I made use of instruments like Google Docs and Slides to enable collaboration among peers, research coordination, and presentations. Mind maps and computer presentations helped me organize confusing ideas and put my thoughts across in a way that was easily understandable. Google Classroom, in particular, helped me in deadlines, tracking progress, and gaining access to learning materials at any time.

 At a personal level, constructive tools have helped me manage time, set goals, and remain focused. These websites encouraged me to plan, reflect, and make adjustments, which made me more productive and less stressful. I have also become independent and self-directed as a learner.

 In conclusion, constructive tools play an important role in learning as they allow students to take ownership of their learning. They facilitate better understanding, collaboration, and creativity. Google Classroom, GeoGebra, word, and PowerPoint are some of the tools that not only enhanced teaching but also empowered the learners with the knowledge required for lifelong learning. Their impact on my learning and personal growth has been positive and revolutionary.

  Greeting to all💙💛💜 To introduce about myself , my name is Tshering Phuntsho from Trashiyangtse ,yalang. My educational journey began at Lungtenphu Middle Secondary School, studying from class PP to 9. The environment there shaped much of my early learning, and it was a place where I laid the foundation for my future studies. However, in 2020, due to personal circumstances, I had to make a change and transferred to Nganglam Central School, Pemagatshel. This transition marked a new chapter in my life as I pursued my higher studies from class 10 to 12 at Nganglam Central School. After completing my high school education, I scored good marks in the Board exam but not to my expectation and I was eligible to apply to any college I wish wish to. My teachers encouraged me to pursue other fields rather than choosing teacher as a profession as they saw a bright future for me in diverse areas. My mother wants me to become a teacher, and honoring her wishes became my priority. Finally, I ...

 In this blog post, I start by introducing myself and sharing a little about my educational journey. Next, I talk about two helpful tools that make learning easier for people with learning disabilities : speech-to-text software (which turns spoken words into written text) and Braille (a system of raised dots that blind people read with their fingers). I explain how these tools support different learners and making learning more effectively and accessible.  I also included three pictures of useful ICT (Information and Communication Technology) tools such as Telegram, Google Docs, and Google Classroom. Along with the images, I shared my personal thoughts and experiences  on how these tools work and how they have helped me to enhance my learning and as an inspiring educator to adapt to use of these tools to cater to diverse students learning styles and preferences.  Finally, I added an educational video that serves an informative tools .

  Speech-to-Text Software  Learning can be challenging for some students, especially those who struggle with writing, typing, or expressing their thoughts on paper. Fortunately, technology has created many tools to make learning easier. One of these helpful tools is speech-to-text software. This tool allows students to speak out loud, and the computer or device turns their words into written text. It is like having a personal assistant that writes down everything you say. This can be a game-changer for students with disabilities, slow typers, or anyone who finds it hard to put their ideas into writing.   Speech-to-text software helps in many ways. First, it saves time and effort. Some students have trouble typing quickly or have physical conditions that make writing difficult. Instead of struggling with a keyboard or pen, they can simply talk, and the software does the rest. This means they can focus more on their ideas rather than worrying about spelling or handwrit...
