Computer as Co-constructive Tool

Co-constructive tool are tools where students use to work collaboratively and construct a shared understanding of new knowledge. Some ways of co-constructive are the use of the electronic whiteboard, google docs (docs.google.com), blogs & wikis, discussion forum on portals (pce.edu.bt) and google classroom. This tools allow students to work together with their members in creating some project where they can interact, discuss and edit their work together. when they do the project collaboratively, it fosters teamwork, sense of belonging and responsibility.

We used goggle doc as the co-constructive tool where we worked in our groups to create a lesson plan. We discussed and interacted through the available chat forum and did necessary editing. This group discussion is more convenient for group discussion as we need not have to call and wait for our members for the discussion. Members can jump into the discussion anytime anywhere. 

we also used google classroom where we created classroom and joined classes created by our classmates. Its various features help teacher to teach and assign the students with assignments and assess their work accordingly.

Therefore, Co-constructive tool helps students to communicate and co-edit their work enhancing high level cognitive processes through problem solving and explanation on that particular topic. It involves active and intentional learning enhancing collaborative learning environment.
