What is co-constructive tools

Students use technology tools to connect new information to their prior knowledge rather than to passively receive information. The Constructive characteristic describes learner-centered instruction that allows students to use technology tools to connect new information to their prior knowledge.

some of the examples of co-constructive tools are:

1. Google Docs

Google Docs  is a word processor included as part of a free, web-based software office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. This service also includes Google Sheets and Google Slides, a spreadsheet and presentation program respectively.

2. Electronic white board

 An electronic whiteboard is a hardware device that is similar to a whiteboard that is found in schools and businesses. It transmits any information written to a computer or multiple computers. They also allow live interaction with digital objects on the screen. The picture is the SMART Board 800 from SMART and an example of an electronic whiteboard.

3. Blogs 

A blog is a type of website where the content is presented in reverse chronological order (newer content appear first). Blog content is often referred to as entries or “blog posts”. Blogs are typically run by an individual or a small group of people to present information in a conversational style. However, now there are tons of corporate blogs that produce a lot of informational and thought-leadership style content.

classroom integration

Students can collaborate and build a shared understanding of new information by using constructive tools. The usage of an electronic whiteboard, where students can add notices to a shared document/whiteboard, is one technique to be co-constructive. Students can also collaborate on the same work from the comfort of their own homes.

We can use this technique in our school in the future by having online discussions between teachers and between teachers and students.

For teacher to teacher communication, we can utilize an online template such as (Google documents) to discuss school development programs, school difficulties, and student issues without having to spend a lot of time in a conferencing hall.
