ICT as co-construction tool

A co-construction tool is emphasis on collaboration and partnership working. After learning co-construction tool it helps me to expand my knowledge and skills on collaborating with my friends. The idea of co-construction or collaboration was inspired by Vygotsky’s social development. Vygotsky focused on the connections between people and the social development in which we interact and convey messages.

Some of the co-constructive applications tools are Google docs, electronic whiteboard, blogs and discussion forum. After discussing co-construction, I am able to build strong relationship with my friends and have effective communication and learning. We also create a Google docs in which we were to plan the ICT integrated lesson plan. In this, the idea of co-construction was implemented where we have to be cooperative with our friends while planning a lesson. While planning and writing the lesson plan, we have to cooperative and understand each other so that the idea of collaboration was used properly. 

Our group discussed the ICT integrated lesson plan on 'Pure Substances and Mixtures' from class four science. While discussing the lesson plan, we use the idea of co-construction that is collaborating and understanding each other. Moreover, we interact and pass messages to each other. We can also give comments and interact in the google docs which helped us a lot in coming up with a good lesson plan. While discussing the lesson, we made sure the the ides of ICT integration in the classroom was implemented and used properly. In general the idea of planning a lesson on Google docs was interesting and worth learning at the same time. In the future, I can use those ideas and help students’ to expand their knowledge. We also used google docs in other module such as action research as we were doing the research in group and it has helped us a lot in coming up with the final proposal.
