Communicative Tool

 Communicative tool 

We studied communication tools in today's lesson. It alludes to programs, apps, devices, or other technologies that facilitate simple communication between students and teachers beyond physical barriers posed by time, place, or both inside and outside of the classroom. A two-way process of communication—sender and receiver—is what a communicative instrument is. As an illustration, consider social media, email, chat rooms, discussion boards, virtual meetings online, blogging, etc. The following are the reasons we incorporate communicative tools into the classroom:

- It enhances the interaction between the learners- students and teachers.

- Increased profitability - by increasing efficiency and faster sharing information or messaging, technology allows jobs to be completed quicker and more accurately.

- Provide clarity and coherence to make learners understand the message that you convey.

- Encourage us to build the knowledge when we communicate with each other (more interactions, more learning takes place).

We have two types of communicative tools: Synchronous Communication and Asynchronous Communication.

Synchronous Communication 

The real-time communication in which users must be simultaneously connected at the same time. Used to involve instructional activities that require a higher degree of interaction video conferencing (zoom meeting) and helps solve urgent problems.

Examples: online chats, telephone calls, video conferencing.

Asynchronous Communication

 It doesn't require the people (users) communicating to be logged on the internet at the same time. It requires more time to think, analyze, and reflect on activities before responding, and learning content can be learned as per their time and schedule conveniently.

Examples are pre-recorded videos, discussion forums, email, upload of text messages (chats), Google Classroom, Moodle, and video/audio clips on social media apps (WeChat, telegrams, WhatsApp, etc.). Thus, we studied how to set up Google Classroom to incorporate communication tools in the classroom. So, allow me to take you through the process of creating a Google Classroom.
