Reflection on ICT Day I

Of the three optional modules I chose ICT because we have been told that we were digital natives. Though I had little knowledge about ICT, I got inspired when I attended Chiphen Rigphel Training and FIT module in my first year first semester. These really helped me in enhancing my knowledge and skill regarding the use of ICT in teaching and learning in our daily lives. The use of ICT in the 21^st century helps children to develop critical thinking, media literacy, communication to the outside world, collaboration learning, sharing of information and creativity in them. As digital natives we must prepare our youth to fit in the world of technologies. It is our responsible to adopt different strategies so that children enjoy and learn comfortably in the digital world.

In the first day we were taken through five different tools like informative tool, communicative tool, constructive tool, co- constructive tool and situating tool. Each tool was very informative and help us to cater to acquire different skills.

The use of Google apps was very new to me. I never had ideas about using of Microsoft words, preparing Power point and Microsoft excel in our Gmail account. I have learnt so many new things in Google apps. One of the new things I came across was using of Google drive. I never knew it would work like other drives. After having learnt about it I have stored all my certificates and important documents in it. I can access to my documents any time anywhere as long as I am accessible to internet.

Introducing us to create survey questionnaires using different question type were very interesting and challenging. I could do it pretty well with the help of tutor’s guidance and friends’ help. I would like to thank our tutor for taking us different world where we explored and learnt a lot. I am sure I can use everything that I have learnt to my children later on.
