ICT as Communicative tool

Communicative tools are applications which enable easy communication between teachers and students and among students. 

We discussed that there are two types of communication: synchronous and asynchronous.
I feel that asynchronous is much better while communicating since it does not require people communicating to be logged on the internet at same time. Teacher and students need not be logged on the internet at the same time to have discussion or for assigning a task/activities. In our country, there is internet issues and there are many situations where one face problem with internet when we are having discussions online. Therefore, we can use asynchronous for communication where teacher can assign task when the teacher logged on to the internet and students can also do same as and when they have good internet connection.
Asynchronous applications are; email, wechat, VLE, blog.

We focused on one of the communicative tools; blog. I heard of blog from internet and some people but I was unaware of what actually it was, its benefits and how ti works. After the learning about the blog, I was amazed with its advantages on teaching and learning. Blog can motivate learners and they can become better readers and writers because writing on blog can be interesting as other people can give feedback o it which is very helpful. For me, I enjoyed entering in by blog about ICT tools and my reflection on it. I am also planning to maintain different blog where I can write some exciting topics on my everyday life activities.
