Over the semester, I have come to understand that communication is
no longer bound by physical presence or traditional tools. ICT as a
communicative tool has transformed how I engage with my peers and tutors. We
use software’s to share our opinion, ideas which involves two-way process that
are sender and receiver.
Tools like telegram, Gmail, and virtual
learning environment (vle) have become integral, especially in academic
environment. Group assignments, which earlier required in-person meetups, are
now efficiently handled through telegram and collaborative Google Docs. One of
the most frequently used tools in my academic communication is telegram. Our
class groups serve as immediate platforms to share updates, clarify doubts, and
exchange resources. For instance, during a group assignment on Teaching
Literacy Skills in Lower Primary, where we needed to make video, we used
telegram to assign roles, remind each other of deadlines, and share voice notes
for clarification. In one project in science, we used telegram to collaborate
in real-time, resolving doubts instantly. Also, during presentations, I used
messenger and telegram which enhanced clarity and interaction with classmates
and tutors anytime and anywhere. Enhancing interaction between learners and
also encourages collaborative learning. It also provides clarity and coherence.
Another powerful communicative
platform I rely on is Google Docs. This tool allows multiple users to edit the
same document in real time, making it perfect for group work. We used Google
Docs extensively during a group assignment on ICT writing task. Where each member contributed simultaneously
when developing a lesson plan, they left comments where ever needed, and
discussed sections using the built-in chat feature. Another tool I discovered
this semester is Padlet, where our instructor posted topics for discussion and
we responded by posting texts. I learned to appreciate diverse viewpoints and
received comments and immediate feedbacks that helped me reflect and improve. Using
such communicative tool enhances interaction and collaboration between the
learners and it increases profitability.
Outside academics, communicating
using ICT tools help me stay connected with peers and communities. Platforms
like blog also offer a space to engage in discussions, share knowledge, and
build networks which is crucial for career development.

Telegram,
as shown in the screenshot, serves as an effective tool for collaboration and
communication during group assignments. Through instant messaging, students can
share ideas, clarify doubts, and discuss project details in real-time. The
ability to send files, voice notes, and images makes it a convenient platform
for coordinating tasks, fostering teamwork, and ensuring efficient progress
throughout the assignment.
