Using ICT as a communicative tool
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading to the near-total closures of schools, universities and colleges. The virus has made its way also to Bhutan which has held us back at home. Schools and universities have been forced to rethink the ways students and learning should move forward in the wake of coronavirus. If we look at this situation from a positive perspective, it is an opportunity for both teachers and students to learn using ICT as a communicative tool.
Although, E-learning seemed quiet difficult in the beginning due to poor internet, high-data cost and many other factors, we are starting to adapt to online sessions. We use the VLE(Virtual Learning Environment), WeChat, Messenger, Hangout, Zoom, etc. as ways of learning.
Through the use of these tools we are able to discuss, share and ask our doubt as like we do in real classroom. Moreover we get opportunity to interact with our tutor frequently and at any time of the day. Reflecting on my experience of virtual learning, I couldn't agree any less that ICT is very beneficial in many way. It connects people not only to catch up and for leisure purpose, but also for a great deal of teaching and learning. following are some screenshots of how we have used ICT as a communicative tool.
