Computer as communicative tool

Communicative tools are applications that enable easy communication between teachers and students, among students beyond physical barrier either by space, time or both of the classroom which includes e-mail, electronic bulletin boards, online chats for messaging the information, teleconference and electronic whiteboard. 

Communicative tool is categories into two: synchronous and asynchronous communication tool,  which was new for me and now i am aware of the differences between them. Synchronous communicative tools such as chat or video conference enable real-time communication while using the tools of communicative asynchronous (e.g. e-mail ad electronic whiteboard) is system in which exchange of messages between people are not ‘live’ but somehow delayed.
Communicative tool is most appropriate for activities requiring more time to think before responding. Utilization of electronic mail is increasing day by day. E-mail and wechat are the most commonly used on the internet. It is easy to use as it is a primarily text-based system and simple communication tool for teachers and students.They enable learners and teachers to connect, communicate and access information in an unprecedented way. 

It allows both the teacher and learners to pass comment and converse face to face to improve teaching and learning. Use of communicative tools helps save time, have the enormous space and ability to converse to an infinite number of people but there is a possible for students to get addicted to chats which will lead them to undergo go multiples risks. So, teacher needs to take charge of the student's discipline on use of various internet tools.
