Constructive tool & Simulation lesson

Constructive Tool

A constructive tool is a general-purpose tool that can be used to manipulate information, construct their own knowledge or visualize students' understanding.

Some examples of constructive tools such as Desktop publishing programs are MS Word, Spreadsheet & PowerPoint, Concept mapping, and Multimedia software tools such as Camtasia studio, google classroom, etc. for designing the learning materials to enhance teaching and learning.

ICT-based constructive tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Social networks, and C-map tools help learners to learn concepts. But in this class, we have learned how to create simple simulation lessons using PowerPoint presentations. So, I will upload the simulation lesson which I have created using only one slide in ppt.

The simulation lesson is on germination, class 4 science. It only teaches the basic concepts of germination and some of the processes of germination.

Process of creating simple simulation in ppt

  • Open the ppt slide (only 1 slide) keeping the blank layout
  • Select the rectangular shapes from the shape option and drag them till it covers the whole slide.
  • Add title, pictures, and animation accordingly.
  • Repeat the 2nd and 3rd steps until you are done with the content intended to present.
  • At last, by clicking the animation pane in the animation tab, adjust the timing of the animation
  • Insert background music from the audio button
  • At last, by clicking on the slideshow record the slide show, record from the current slide, and press the escape key when the recording is finished.
  • Save the video by clicking on the file button, save as, select the desktop as a location to save video, and select save type as windows media video.
  • Then it will automatically save the video on the desktop.
I need not have to write the process to upload a video to the blog since I have already written it in previous videos on the domestic animal.

This is the simple simulation video that I have created using ppt.

What is CMap Concept Map (CMap) is a graphical knowledge representation system, which has received grwoing popularity as a teaching and evaluation tool. In CMaps knowledge is represented by linking concepts to one another and specifying the nature of their relationship on the link. What are the uses of CMap Diagram file created by IHMC CMap Tools, a program used for drawing concept maps; stores a visual diagram that depicts an idea using blocks, arrows and text; used for capturing thoughts and ideas during the brainstorming process; also used for sharing ideas with others. CMap installation from cloud Type "CMap cloud" in URL bar and search it User registration Fill in all the required details in "create account" section as shown below  After filling the details, click on "Create Account " button Activate the account if it is not activated by visiting your email By using CMap, we have learned on how to embed  CMap content created from it and embed it in ou...

ICT as Situating Tools- Using GraphCalc to Plot the Coordinates Teaching and learning of mathematics concepts and skills is much more better with the integration of ICT. So, as a teacher, when we are teaching about the graph, we can use GraphCalc to have the students plot the intercepts. Students will have more fun to learn about the coordinates plotting through this apps. Also, they will be able to learn it better. If you want to know more about GraphCalc open the link here: https://www.graphcalc.com/about/ Learning Activity that we have done during this session are as follows; Case 1 Open 2D graphing calculator Type the equation y=2x+1 in the equation pane Keeping y-intercept (1) constant, change the co-efficient of x using both positive and negative numbers Write down what did you notice? Figure 1.1 Graph of equation y=2x+1 with both positive and negative co-efficient Observation:  The intersection points remains same Case 2 Equation is y=2x+1 Keeping the y intercept (1) constan...
