ICT integrared lesson plan in a google doc

Google docs

Google docs is an example of a co-constructive tool that facilitates learning through discussion and collaboration among a group of people. Using Google doc, we experienced collaboration, cooperation, and many new learning after designing ICT integrated lesson plan. There was active interaction among three of us and I felt more comfortable in this app than in a face to face conversation or sitting in one place. However, we faced some problems using this app as there were poor network for us to carry out work in the particular set of time. Besides this issue, everything was convenient for us to come up with an ICT integrated lesson plan. The link given below will take you to the ICT integrated lesson plan (co-constructive work done by three of us).

I gain lots of experiences and knowledge through the process of designing this with my two friends. Firstly, we can work collaboratively in different places. I realized that collaboration is one of the utmost importance in the workplace. We can access each others contribution and group members can work from different places. Secondly, Google Docs allows us to add and remove information when working on a specific document. That way we can make changes to the document. In addition, multiple users can access and edit the same document at the same time. Finally, It allows users to see who else is in the document and making changes to it as they work. Hence, technology favours us with a platform to co-construct to achieve a particular goal.

On the other hand, there is a disadvantage of using google docs as it requires an internet connection. Where there is no access to internet means, no google docs. The photos given below shows, how we have been enjoying co-construction on ICT integrated lesson plan using google docs.

So, If we use Google docs in our teaching and learning in the school, it will create an active interaction among the students, they will be able to generate new knowledge from the discussion, they can edit and add on their friends work together and it will also help them in co-construction of new knowledge from the existing knowledge.  Thus, students and teachers can use the tools to construct and shared understanding of new knowledge. I have also explored another co-constructive tool called the electronic whiteboard. I knew much new information from this exploration. 

As a life long learner, I plan to use this google doc as a forum of co-construction with various people to achieve success in life. Thus, I prepared to write an article every day, co-author with friends to achieve good writing.
