ICT as co-constructive tools

Co-constructive tools are those tools that can be used to construct knowledge collaboratively. The knowledge on ICT is effectively used to co-edit the data text and graphics. unlike constructive tools, the co-constructive tools enhance the collaborative learning environment as the users need to work collaboratively and requires high level cognitive processes to deal with problem finding and problem solving. We have used blogs, discussion forum on portals and google docs in our real classroom learning. Those three co-constructive tools helped me understand about the lesson that are taught in the classroom. though use of blogs, it helped me keep track of what i have learned so far in the classroom through reflecting my views in it. Moreover, it can be used as a future reference. Through discussion forums it helped me to clear my doubts communicating either in synchronous or asynchronous with my friends and tutors. Through the use of google docs, it helped me understand and beautify my lesson plan because the two user need to work collaboratively.

Following are some examples of co-constructive tools:
1.  Blog
I have used blog so that i can keep track of what i have learned in the classroom. By reflecting in the blog, I have learned and known how blog serves it purpose. It can help the different users to understand and retrieve various information.

2. Discussion forums or portals
I have used this portal to inquire my doubt about the subject matter. This can happen both in asynchronous or synchronous ways. We can place our queries and the our friends and tutors can write their answer if they are online at the same time or they can write whenever they visit the site.

3. Google docs
I have never used this application though it was created and published before i was born . We can share the same document in three means that is as a "can edit," "can comment" and "can view". I have learn that we can share the document to other users if he or she is trusted person and work collaboratively. we can share as a view only if the other user is unknown and so that he  can only read your work but cannot edit.
