ICT as Constructive tool

 Reflecting on my journey, I realize how tools like websites, blogs, Google Classroom, Cmap Tools, and Learning Management Systems (LMS) have transformed the way I learn, organize, and interact. ICT can be a powerful constructive tool in education, supporting students in actively building their knowledge and understanding through various digital tools and resources. It enables them to connect new information with prior knowledge, fostering deeper learning and promoting various skills like technological literacy and critical thinking.

Academically, ICT has made learning more accessible and engaging. When I first used Google Classroom, it felt like having a personal assistant. Assignments, notes, and feedback were all centralized, making it easier to manage my studies. It also facilitated communication with teachers and classmates, encouraging collaboration and timely discussions. It also helped me to construct knowledge actively.

Cmap Tools introduced me to concept mapping, which helped me visualize and connect new ideas to the prior knowledge more clearly. Creating diagrams to link topics made complex subjects easier to understand and retain, especially during exam preparation supporting personalized learning. It gave me a structured way to organize thoughts and see the bigger picture. Promoting active learning where I can visually engage with the information creating my own representation rather than passively receiving it  and prepares students for real-world skills.

Personally, ICT has broadened my outlook. LMS platforms such as virtual learning environment (vle) further streamlined my academic responsibilities. Having a single portal for course materials, grades, and announcements reduced the confusion of juggling multiple subjects and deadlines. This organization helped me stay focused and reduced stress as I can access anytime and anywhere.

I have experienced the constructive use of ICT during project-based learning activities. Tools like canvas helped me express ideas creatively, encouraged me to organize content meaningfully and reflect critically on what I had learned. Doing research on waste management we created a poster using a canvas. These experiences were far more engaging and memorable.

In conclusion, ICT has played a vital role in shaping my growth. It has made education more interactive, improved my organization and communication, and equipped me with valuable life skills enhancing creativity and engagement. As I move forward, I remain grateful for the opportunities ICT has provided in my academic and personal development.

Promoting a Cleaner Future with Creativity and Technology 

 The waste management poster photo reflects how ICT (canvas) was used constructively to build and communicate knowledge creatively during our project on waste management last semester. It is not just a product but a learning process that supports active engagement and meaningful understanding.

ICT as an informative tool

Throughout this semester, I have learned to appreciate how important is ICT in our academic and personal life. As a student moving through a fast-evolving educational environment, ICT has become more than just a support tool, it has become a critical facilitator of knowledge acquisition, skill development, and personal growth. Whether in conducting research, accessing learning resources, or managing my time and notes, ICT has significantly shaped how I learn and live.   In my academic journey, ICT tools such as Google Scholar, YouTube, slide presentation, and Canvas have been instrumental in supporting and expanding my learning beyond traditional textbooks. For instance, during a challenging research project on a project-based teaching and learning module, I used Google Scholar to access scholarly articles related to Bhutanese etiquette. These articles offered diverse perspectives and real-life insights that significantly deepened my understanding of the topic, making my report m...

ICT as Communicative tool

  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 c...
