Date: 21st April 2022 Informative Tool ༼བརྡ་སྤྲོད་པའི་ལག་ཆས༽
On
April 21, we learned what is informative tool, its importance and how it in
integrated in teaching and learning. Informative tool refers to applications
which provide vast repositories of information/ content to learners
There
are many benefits of using informative tool such as;
- Provide learners to analyze the information, further
expand their knowledge and
- Skills on learning concepts.
- Encourage learner to explore, think critically, develop research skills and learn to
- Integrate relevant information.
- Enhance the learners critically thinking and develop
their searching skills
- Provide learner to evaluate the resources (validated) on the internet
- Tools to provide raw materials for students to organize, reorganize, compare and construct.
We
can integrate informative tool in the classroom by;
- Analyze, synthesize and manipulate information provided
- Teacher must provide an information/reference/content for the students in the beginning or during or after the activity
- Ask the student to construct their own knowledge and
meaning
- Write their understanding on the information provided
· Text
is a human-readable sequence of characters and the words they form that can be
encoded into computer-readable formats such as ASCII. Generally the use of
text, learners will enhance the writing skills and communicate the personal
experience, expressing the thoughts and ideas to wide community. Texts are
created to achieve certain purposes and meaning for example writing a letter,
telling a story, sharing information in the classroom.
· Image
refer to visual representation of information such as drawings, pictures,
graphs, logos, photographs, etc. Generally we can see the image format such as
jpeg, bmp, png, gif, etc Images are powerful. Visuals quickly transmit
information to our brain. They trigger our emotions. They help us learn and
remember.
· Audio
is a term used to describe any sound or noise in a range the human ear is
capable of hearing. Audio helps to build imagination and creativity in
listeners, improves listening skills and helps strengthen memory and
comprehension.
· Video
refers to recording, manipulating, and displaying moving images, especially in
a format that can be presented on a television or any channels. Video helps in
long retention in memory and understand the concept better through the watching
the video clip or video tutorial.
· Animation
is the process of giving the illusion of movement to drawings, models, or
inanimate objects.
· Graphics
refer to the combination of the text, image, sound, animation, video ,etc.
Graphics promote the visual aids that can better help you communicate your
ideas.
Next,
we also looked at what is a video-based learning and its benefits. It refers to
learning experiences facilitated through video. With its ability to combine
camera footage, animation, graphics, text, and audio, videos create a
multisensory learning experience, unlike any other e-learning format. It
improves learner retention, enables micro learning and makes content widely
accessible. At the end of the session, we also did group activity where we had
to design activity in google slide from primary class and integrate the
informative tool which we have chosen.
The Given below is the power point presentation which we designed in google slide.
