Reflection 1: Telegram as a Communicative Tool

Telegram is more than just a chat app for us. It is where school updates, reminders, study notes, and even fun quizzes show up. Features like pinned messages keep everything organized, and bots make learning a bit more interactive. It helps us stay connected, supported, and informed all in one place. one of the interseting feature of telegram is it has poll that allows to ask a question and give multiple-choice answers that people can vote on. It’s commonly used in group chats, channels, or private chats to gather opinions, make decisions, or just have fun. There are three types of polls in Telegram:
 1. Anonymous Poll – Voters’ identities are hidden.
2. Visible Votes – Everyone can see who voted for what.
 3. Quiz Mode – Only one correct answer, great for quizzes.

As a student teacher, I have found Telegram to be an incredibly effective communicative tool in the context of teaching and learning. Its wide range of features offers both flexibility and immediacy, which are essential in today’s fast-paced educational environment. My experiences with using Telegram for academic purposes have shown how it bridges the communication gap between teachers and students while promoting collaboration and engagement.

One of the key benefits of Telegram is its ability to host group chats with a large number of members. In our class, Telegram groups are used to share notes, links, important updates, and even voice messages. This makes it much easier for everyone to stay informed, even if they miss a class or session. I especially appreciate the “pinned messages” feature, which helps in organizing important information like deadlines, schedules, and resources.

Telegram also supports multimedia sharing, including documents, images, and videos, which makes it easier for educators to provide learning materials directly to students. This has been particularly helpful in subjects where visual aids and demonstrations enhance understanding. For example, our ENA tutor shared tutorial videos and infographics via Telegram, which I could access at any time according to my convenience.

Another feature that stands out is the use of Telegram Bots and Channels. Educational bots can help with quizzes, flashcards, and even quick assessments, making learning interactive and personalized. Meanwhile, channels run by instructors can function like announcement boards, ensuring students never miss out on important updates without the distraction of group chat discussions.

From a communication standpoint, Telegram promotes quick and informal dialogue, encouraging students to ask questions freely and interact more frequently with peers and teachers. This has contributed to a more supportive and responsive learning environment

Overall, my experience with Telegram as a communicative tool in education has been very positive. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous communication, making it adaptable to various teaching styles. With its user-friendly interface and wide accessibility, Telegram truly enhances classroom communication, student engagement, and the overall teaching-learning process. This is the reason why I would still prefer using telegram in the context of teaching and learning in the future.

  I am Ambeka Nepal currently pursuing my B.Ed in primary education at paro college in 2nd year. I am from Dagana, under Gozhi Gewog, Dogak Chiwog. I completed my primary education at Dogak Primary School and attended lower secondary at Daleythang Lower Secondary School as a day scholar. Later, I pursued my middle and high school education at Daga Central School as a boarding student. Each phase of my schooling holds its own bittersweet memories some I cherish, and others make me wish I could turn back time to relive moments I missed. My childhood was a beautiful journey, and I am forever grateful to my parents for their unwavering love and sacrifices. They put their happiness aside to fulfill mine, always prioritizing me and my sisters and being the best role models we could ask for.  If I were to share my hobbies and interests, I would say that while I’m not particularly good at playing sports, I truly enjoy them as a fun and active way to unwind. I have a deep love for read...

  Reflection 3: Use of Padlet as a Co-Constructive Tool Padlet, students can share their ideas through board.                                                                            Padlet feels like a shared digital wall where everyone in class can post their thoughts, ideas, or even drawings and videos. It is really fun to see everyone’s posts pop up in real-time. During group tasks or class discussions, it keeps us connected and makes sure every voice is heard even from those of us who are usually shy. We can comment, react, and build on each other’s ideas, making learning feel more like a team effort.                                                       ...
