Communicative Tools
Introduction to Communication Tool
Reflection
In the digitalized world, communication has undergone a profound transformation, shaping the way we connect, interact, and collaborate. Communication tool in ICT refers to the software, platforms, or devices designed to facilitate communication between teachers and students. It includes various types of tools such as email, instant messaging, video conferencing, social media platforms, voice calling services, collaboration platforms, and blogging/publishing platforms. These tools enable users to exchange messages, share information, collaborate on projects, and engage in discussions across different channels and mediums. We have also learned about the two types of communication tools which are; i. Synchronous communication where the learning happens in real-time with scheduled time and ii. Asynchronous communication is where the exchange of information can take place at any time anywhere.
We also learned how to create a Google classroom which we must know as a future teacher to be able to use it for teaching and learning. To create a Google classroom, there are some steps that we need to follow which are:
Sign in to Google: Start by signing in to your Google account.
Go to Google Classroom: Once you are signed in, go to the Google Classroom website (classroom.google.com) or open the Google Classroom app on your device.
Click on the “+” icon: In the top-right corner, you will see a “+” icon. Click on it to create a new class.
Enter class details: Fill in the details for your class, including the class name, section, subject, and room (optional).
Click “Create”: Once you have entered all the necessary information, click on the “Create” button to create your class.
Invite students: After creating the class, you will be prompted to invite students. You can do this by sharing class code with them or by entering their email addresses directly.
Start adding content: Once students join the class, you can start adding content such as assignments, announcements, and materials. You can do this by clicking on the class and navigating to the “Classwork” tab.
Customize settings: You can customize various settings for your class, such as the theme, permissions, and notifications. These settings can be found by clicking on the settings icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner of the class page.
Manage your class: As your class progresses, you can manage it by reviewing assignments, providing feedback to students, and communicating with them through announcements and comments.
Google Classroom stands as a robust communication tool in the realm of education, facilitating seamless interaction between educators and students. Its multifaceted features enable efficient dissemination of information, assignment distribution, and feedback exchange, all within a centralized digital platform. Moreover, the comment sections beneath assignments allow for personalized feedback and clarification, nurturing a dynamic dialogue conducive to student growth. With the ability to integrate various Google Workspace apps like Docs, Sheets, and Slides, collaboration transcends physical boundaries, enabling real-time collaboration and peer interaction. Thus, Google Classroom can also be considered a virtual classroom; it emerges as a dynamic communication hub, enhancing the educational experience by fostering continuous engagement and collaboration.
