ICT as communication tools

Communications are applications which enable easy communication through internet connection. We can receive and instant messages and it do not limits communication by space, time or both in the classroom.   These tools are social networks that binds people around the globe. We use communication tools such as face book, messenger, we-chat, twitter, emails, zoom, and etc.

we can use them whenever we have messages to be delivered or want to meet them.Communication can take place either face to face or through text messages or voice messages. To use video conference the both the user should be online and need to immediate response. The other one is we can drop messages any time and receiver will can view any time and respond. It is categorized into two category based how it enables communication.  There are synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous is also called a real tome communication, in which users must be simultaneously connected, rather like a phone call. It gives real time communication and can be used for instructional activities that require higher degree of interaction. It also helps solving urgent problems or issues. Example could be like zoom,google meet etc.,

  Asynchronous is not requiring the people communicating to be logged on the internet at the same time.
Communication tool have impact on all the people across the globe. It also plays a significant role in teaching and learning. Nowadays, teaching and learning can take place without having to meet in the classroom. These stakeholders can use communication tools.
We can integrate technology based on availability of resources.Social networking sites, email, video conference and online chat can be used for educational purposes. Teachers and upload notes in online and let the student read the notes.

In order to make it more comprehensible teacher can upload videos for the student that is related to the topic. As a follow up they can post online education forums. We chat can be also use for interaction. Whether to see the effectiveness of lesson teacher can conduct online test or course work that they can conduct in online. This will help to becoming teaching and learning in more smooth and engaging.
However, there is still disadvantage to primary students, accessibility of internet, students with low economic backgrounds and incompetent skills of the users. So communication tools is not feasible like meeting in classroom to learn in our economy.
I see VLE discussion is more effective for communicating with my friends and teacher.

In this platform we can perform multiple task such as chat, uploading notes, and submitting assignments and get variety of information related to topic in different forms. We can also keep tracking of our learning since there is calendar and we can also post our doubts. We can get any responses from tutor as well as friend. When tutors upload the information in video, audio, text, graphics and etc. This help me to understand more on the topic. My maths tutors always upload videos on the content we are learning and give us assignment. I can easily complement my assignment using videos and I also get more information from the video. This is forum is more convenient as I can login whenever I want and check what is going in the particular module. To communicate I do need to response immediately. The video tutorial provided my tutors on VLE help me to carry out the task that I was not able to perform on my own. All thanks to communicative tools that learning can take place even beyond the classroom walls.
