Birds are vertebrate animals that have feathers, wings, and beaks. Like all vertebrates, they have bony skeleton. Most birds are able to fly, but some (like ostriches and penguins) cannot fly even though they still have wings. Other kinds of animals like insects and bats can fly too, but birds are the only animals with feathers. Birds have scales on their lower legs and feet, like reptiles. All birds reproduce by laying eggs with hard shells, and most build nests to help protect the eggs from weather and predators. Adult birds almost always sit on the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch.

We heard about ICT as a constructive tool, motivations for integrating constructive tools in classroom learning, and some instances in today's lesson. We also taught about the benefits of utilizing constructive tools and how to use ict as a constructive tool. Constructive tools are all-purpose tools that can be used to manipulate data, build one's own knowledge, and visualize one's understanding. We use constructive tools in the classroom for the following reasons: they help students build new knowledge, they allow them to brainstorm and visualize the relationships between concepts, they foster critical thinking, they encourage learners to be self-motivated, and they encourage drill and practice. Google Classroom, mind mapping, LMS, Camtasia, and social networking sites are some examples of constructive tools. We have a lot of benefits from using constructive tools in the classroom because it improves learners' creativity and thinking skills, displays the learners' ...

  We learnt about informative tools, their examples, characteristics, and how to use them into classroom learning in today's session. Informative tools are applications that supply learners with large stores of information/content. Multimedia encyclopedias and internet-based resources are examples of informative tools. Informative tools are used in our classrooms because they allow students to investigate, think critically, improve their skills, give learning materials, and assist students in evaluating resources. Text, music, image, animation, video, and graphics are examples of informative tools. Each one has its own set of characteristics and applications in the classroom. As a teacher, we have to make use of all those tools in our class for effective learning because with the help of those tools a child get expose to the world of digital and also they can access to different information. Not only that a child gets to learn different ideas related to subject matter and through...
