Class               : 3B


After read the references Mrs. Eva gave to me. I learnt about how technology begin and how technology take important roles in education.

History of technology began from 40.000 BC when paintings/drawings had been found. Technology was growing from a painting to magic tools called gadget (computers, smartphone, etc.) and keep growing as the time flies. Nowadays, technology is becoming an efficient and effective tools to help human in every aspect, include education. So, the meaning of educational technology is a complex, integrated process in all aspect of human learning.
Technology in learning has roles as tools , information vehicles, context, a social medium, and intellectual partner.


Week 3
MALL and CALL

According to Levy (1997:1) CALL or Computer Assisted Language Learning is the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning. In education computer has roles as tutor, tool, and tutee. Some adventages of CALL are effective use of learning time, being easy to get materials, guided and repetitive practive, etc.

MALL or Mobile Assisted Language Learning is a mode of learning which takes place using content or interaction affordances facilitated by mobile devices. The adventages of MALL are learner driven and centered, relatively cheap technology, portable, new and fashionable, etc.

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of educational courses or training programs. They help the instructor deliver material to the students, administer tests and other assignments, track student progress, and manage record-keeping.

From the definitions and adventages above, we know that technology took an important part in making education easer, more effective, and efficient. But we should aware, every good things has their own bad side, so we must use the technology wisely.

Impacts of Educational Technologies

Technology in general using by adults, children for daily activities like social networking, communication, and games.

General impacts of technology are more engaged often retain more information, and provides meaningful learning experiences.

Using technology in learning process give many advantages. Many studies have prove it. The advantages are student have more engage, motivation, confidence, make collaboration, more fun, etc.

One of technology that can be used in learning process is Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Some studies proved CALL will be effective for teaching-learning process, because through computer students can learn from visual medias supported of vocabulary acquisition reading comprehension and the use of online communication tools which improve writing skills.

On the other hand, people have to aware for other aspects. Learning with technology isn't only learn with CALL but also there are some  aspects have to support, such as internet connection and teachers who have abilities t use the system.

Week 5
Technology for Teaching Vocabulary
Name/ID         : Febi Pebriyani / 162122063
Class               : 3B

Last meeting, group one presented one of the application to learn english especially vocabulary. The application is called Learning English With ACO.
With the application I can learn vocabulary through chat, which consists of picture and works like riddles.
Overall the application is good and fun to learn vocabulary, but I think it isn't suitable if we use that in class (teaching learning process). Because the content of this application didn't match with Indonesian culture, especially in junior high school or senior high school.
However if we want to learn english vocabularies, we can use this application.
Thank you :)

Week 7
Technology for Teaching Grammar
Name/ID         : Febi Pebriyani / 162122063
Class               : 3B

We didn't make any reflection for this meeting before, but here I write reflection for this meeting:
Presenters explained the application for teaching grammar called Marbel (Mari Belajar) Grammar by Educa Studio. The application available in Bahasa Indonesia, so it make students easier to understand. Unfortunately, the application doesn't provide any exercises.

Week 9
Technology for Teaching Listening
Name/ID         : Febi Pebriyani / 162122063
Class               : 3B





Last meeting was so memorable and fun for me, because I tried to became a teacher (even only several minutes). Sadly we only prepared in one hour (or more), so when presentation I didn't maximal yet I was happy to see my friends still paid attention to us.
Learning English Teens by British Council is one of website which provide subject for teaching and learning english. The website was so helpful, and suitable for high school students. So that's why we decided to use the website.
In the end of class, Ms. Eva said there's different between teaching and testing listening, and what we did more like testing. I do agree with her, we often asked  students this and that, but only gave lil' information. But, this is make me realized I should learn more how to teach listening skill.
Thank you.


Week 10
Technology for Teaching Speaking

Week 11
Technology for Teaching Reading
Name/ID         : Febi Pebriyani / 162122063
Class               : 3B


Last monday, Nargis and others presented technology for teaching reading called Prep-GRE® test. The first thing crossed my mind was the name of the application quite difficult to pronounce.
The application really helpful and easy to use. It has many features like a lot of passages, duration time, questions, etc. Unfortunately, the design of this application not interesting, and can't encourage students to use it. Beside of that, topics  and vocabularies they used  aren't suitable for middle or high school students.
However the presenters were good and understandable.
Thank you.



Week 12
Technology for Teaching Writing
Name/ID         :Febi Pebriyani / 162122063
Class               : 3B
 Last meeting, the last group presented application for teaching writing technology called JotterPad X. Basically, the application isn't really different with Ms. Word, but there are automatic structure (format) to write an essay, novel, poem, etc.
Unfortunately, there is no tips, tricks, nor steps which we can use to write a text.
The presenters tried to demonstrate this application, and in my opinion they didn't teach us using this application, but more likely how to use the application. Thank you.
