Reflection on Communicative Tool

 Reflection on ICT tools

1) ICT as a communicative tool

ICT as a communicative tool is using Information and Communication Technology ( like phones, email, gadgets, computers) to exchange, present and transmit information with each other which is easier and quicker to practice in the real context. ICT tools has actually become an indispensable materials in the world of today, because it serves as a bridge in any kind of interaction, it serve us during the most emergent hours like when we need the things need to be done immediately and to pass the news as quick as possible. Importantly, most of the jobs are done through technology which proves the world lays down without ICT. A communicative tool is any tool or technology that helps people to convey directions, information to learners or anyone.  These tools support interaction and collaboration in both real-time (synchronous) and delayed (asynchronous) communication. There are so many communicative tools like email, telegram, messaging apps, zoom, google meets and face book. And I am going to share my experiences with email as a communicative tool for now.

Email (Electronic Mail) is one of the most used and reliable forms of digital communication that we use. It allows us to send and receive written messages, documents, links, and media files quickly over online. In both teaching and learning, as well as in professional and personal life, email plays a crucial role in keeping communication organized, formal, and efficient. Email is the most important tool I am using at the moment as it gives me opportunity to apply through different competitions, different short-term scholarships and instant announcements made from the college. Personally, I feel email is quick and easy to use.

How Helpful Email is in my teaching and learning progress?

Electronic email allows easy methods to share course materials like reading list and assignments. Most important thing is lecturers can provide instructions and announcements like reminders about test, deadlines or any kind of class required announcements. Email is amazingly interesting for personalized feedback on students' assignments or behavior and student can reply through email and communicate through email. The reason I am choosing email is it will assist both teachers and student to address issues privately through direct messages in email and discuss it effectively. 

For my learning, email greatly help me in submitting assignments of different modules, especially very useful when submitting platforms are down or unavailable. Additionally, we as a learner can ask our doubts, seek clarification or extra help through email in formal way. We can always drop question for answers and more information from lectures. Email is so easy to use that it is reliable and accessible any time online. In a particular way, email will enhance our everyday learning as teachers will provide detailed comments and suggestions via email to every students. Unlike other apps, where announcements are made in bulk, email comes in every single holder which will will not keep us lack from important announcements. Email gives us to apply in scholarship which is very great opportunity. Furthermore, Email greatly aids us in coordinating group work or contacting multiple friends for discussion. 

Personally, email helps me to stay focused without the distractions like other apps have. Email is not featured with constant notifications like what face book and Instagram have, which will immediately disturb my attention. Also, email feels more professional and is usually used for important communication, like sending assignments, asking questions to teachers, or receiving announcement updates. One unique feature I find helpful is the ability to organize messages into folders or labels, which makes it easier for me to keep track of different topics. I also like that I can attach files, images, and documents easily, and even schedule emails to be sent later. The search function is also very useful when I need to find old messages quickly. Overall, email is simple, reliable, and helps me stay organized and focused.

In summary, email is a powerful and essential communicative tool in both teaching and learning. It offers a fast, reliable, and organized way to exchange important information, submit assignments, seek clarifications, and receive feedback. Its professional nature, ability to attach documents, and the option to organize and search messages make it especially useful for students like me. Unlike other platforms filled with distractions, email helps me stay focused, productive, and connected to academic and career opportunities. It has truly become a vital part of my daily communication and learning progress.
