ICT as a Communicative Tool

Telegram as a Communicative Tool:


 In the context of teaching and learning, communication plays a vital role. During my training as a student teacher, I explored several platforms that supported peer interaction and academic collaboration. Among them, Telegram stood out as a reliable and effective communicative tool that enhanced my learning experience significantly. 




 Telegram offers features that make communication smooth and organized. One of the most useful features is the creation of study groups, where all members can share updates, clarify doubts, and hold academic discussions. Unlike some other apps, Telegram supports large groups without reducing the quality of interaction. This was particularly helpful during collaborative tasks, where our entire group could stay updated in real-time. 

 I also found Telegram’s file-sharing feature extremely beneficial. It allows users to send documents, videos, presentations, and PDFs without any size limitations. During lesson planning and assignments, we frequently exchanged PowerPoint slides, sample lesson plans, and teaching materials with ease. The absence of compression helped maintain the quality of files, which is important in education. 


 Another interesting feature I appreciated was the use of channels by some of our tutors to share notes and instructions. Since only the admin can post in a channel, it reduced distractions and made it easy to find relevant information without unnecessary clutter. Additionally, Telegram’s voice chat and voice message tools added a personal touch to our communication. We used voice chats to host quick group discussions before presentations, and voice messages were convenient for sharing explanations or giving feedback without needing to type long messages. Telegram also supports polls, which we used to vote on group decisions, such as selecting topics for teaching demonstrations or setting study schedules. It gave everyone an equal chance to participate.

 In conclusion, Telegram has proven to be a powerful communicative tool that supports collaboration, file sharing, and interaction among learners. It is easy to use, efficient, and provides a structured environment for academic communication. I believe integrating such tools in teaching and learning can create a more connected and engaged community of learners.

 I am Sangay Wangchuk, handsome son of Dorji Lhamo and Sangay Dorji from Gyalgong, Silambi, Mongar. Currently, I am pursuing my degree at Paro College of Education. My ambition is teacher by fate and my decision. I love teachers and I will be teacher some day. He loves running back to hostel the moment his when class is over. When he walks into a room, even the Wi-Fi feels faster. And if there was a competition for “Best at Being Everywhere and Nowhere at the Same Time,” Sangay would be the champion. His dance moves? Let’s just say he might cause confusion, but he definitely got great moves which are so called hidden talent and it will be remained hidden for rest of his life. His jokes come faster than a Mongar bus on a downhill, and his charm? Oh, it’s like his shoes: always on point but never polished.  All in all, Sangay Wangchuk is basically Mongar's unofficial ambassador of handsome men broadly EASTERN PART OF BHUTAN.

ICT as a Constructive Tool

Constructive Tool:    In today’s learner-centred education system, constructing knowledge actively is more important than passively receiving it. Among various ICT tools that support this approach, C-map Tools stands out as a powerful constructive tool that helped me during my training to better organize and visualize information.  One of the most valuable experiences I had using C-map Tools was during lesson planning. Rather than listing topics in a linear format, I used the concept mapping technique to break down complex content into clear, connected ideas. It helped me see how concepts were interrelated and where I could create stronger links to promote better understanding. This method made it easier not only for me to learn but also to teach others, as I could explain lessons in a more structured and logical way.   C-map encouraged me to think critically and reflectively. As I built and revised my maps, I had to evaluate which information was most relevant ...
