constructive tool

Constructive tool for education. 

Constructive tools are the foundation of progress, serving as catalysts for invention and problem solutions. They enable individuals and society to construct, design, and improve upon existing structures, concepts, and systems. Reflecting on constructive tools reveals their flexibility, which ranges from physical implements like hammers and saws to mental frameworks like techniques and philosophies. Constructive tools are general purpose tools that can be used for manipulating information, constructing ones' own knowledge or visualizing ones' understanding.  It includes; concepts mapping,

 

It allows users to brainstorm and visualize their understanding of relationships among a collection of data. Camtasia and google classroom. 

 

It also includes different social media platforms 

In constructive tool, students use technology tools to connect new information/ideas to their prior knowledge rather than to passively receive information. The constructive tool enables the characteristic of describing learner-centered instruction that allows students to use technology tools to connect new information to their prior knowledge.

Integrating constructive tool in the classroom improves student learning and other development.

1.  It enhance learner to build new knowledge construction using technology 
2. Allows the learner to brainstorm and visualize  the relationship of understanding concepts. 
3. Enhance and fosters learners critical thinking, creates motivation and independent learners
4. Encourage  learner to manipulate their  own ideas and information.
5. Encourage learners  of the Drill and practice.

As a result, it is critical to approach constructive tools with a sense of responsibility and flexibility.    Embracing constant learning and improvement enables individuals to maximize the potential of these tools while navigating complexities and problems. By remaining open to feedback, iteration, and collaboration, one can use constructive tools to generate real and long-term change in society. In nutshell, constructive tools are more than just instruments; they embody human ingenuity, collaboration, and aspiration for progress. Reflecting on their significance prompts appreciation for the transformative role they play in shaping our world and inspires a commitment to using them judiciously for the betterment of humanity. One of main highlighting point about this tool was, students use technology tools to connect new information to their prior knowledge rather than passively receiving information. Simply learning and knowing that constructive tools are essential, it boosts learning is not enough. Putting our learning to practice is what makes learning impactful. Hence, I have created a concept map on elements of short story of the story 'friend to the rescue' written by Geta Gang, to visualize the story and gain the clear idea of the story. 

Moreover, we have also constructed a video lesson using the constructive tool, "Camtasia". For the video lesson, I have created a content on types of birds, where deliberately explained on five types of birds using videos, images, texts, captions, callouts etc. Here is a perfect depicture of what I have constructed 

All in all, I have learned that there are many other ways to make a class more interactive, engaging and fun upon integrating technology in the teaching and learning. Moreover, integration of constructive tools, fosters construction ones' own knowledge or visualization of their knowledge upon manipulation of the information. It enables the production of tangible product for instructional purposes as well. Hence, with these insights, I will make sure to refine my teaching practices and integrate constructive tools in the classroom to make learning fun, engaging and interactive.
