Co-constructive tool

Co-construction is a collaborative process in which learners learn from one another to further expand their knowledge based on one another's ideas and contributions. When students collaborate, they are able to engage with more complex ideas and accomplish greater learning than they would on their own, entering what psychologist Lev Vygotsky terms the "zone of proximal development" (Wertsch, 1984). In these learning environments, teachers act as facilitators rather than just instructors, guiding students through inquiry-based activities, discussions, and projects. Students are encouraged to take an active role in their own learning, sharing their perspectives, and ideas. Some of the co-constructive tools such as google docs, google slide and coggle. 

For instance using google docs into teaching and learning allow multi users to work on a document simultaneously. Teachers can use this tools for collaborative writing activities where students work together to brainstorm ideas, draft essay and do research. In this feature, students can contributes their thoughts, asking question or respond to others. And students can take note during group discussion and teaching.
