ICT as co- constructive tool

Co-constructive tool

Co –constructive tool is a unique approach where the stress is on mutual or partnership working. The approach includes some more interactional processes such as cooperation and coordination. It is a concept that learners can use to help them learn from others and expand their knowledge. Not only does co-construction among learners assists them with growing in many areas, such as solving issues together, but it also teaches learners how to form relationships with their peers and teachers. Communication and dialogue between the teacher and learners that focuses on learning is one of the approaches for co-construction. The ability for learners to accept and receive feedbacks as well as reflect is an important part of the learning process for the co-construction approach.

Some of the common co-constructive tools that we have been using are Google docs which are very helpful in working simultaneously with team members in same documents. We can invite our friends to work on it and even we can notes or comments in it.  And blogs that we regularly update website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group that is written in an informal way. And electronic whiteboard that transmit any information written it to a computer or multiple computers. Also allows live interaction with digital objects on the screen.
