SAMR💡

Welcome back and today I will share about SAMR.
From my opinion, SAMR is a good thing for teachers so everything is under control and nothing is missed. Being a teacher is not a simple thing but it has to be done step by step and making a lesson plan is very useful and I think it's a must because as I said before that everything will be under control.

In this chance, I will teach about how to be a good storyteller. My lesson is to teach them their speaking skill, creativity, fluency, correct pronunciation and body language. They are doing this so that in the future they can tell their own feelings through a story and inspired other people while they are telling their stories. Besides, they are also learn about how to give feedback and comments on their friends' performances.

This is my lesson plan. You can click on the bulbs below. Thank You teachers and readers!

Blended Learning about Christmas🎅

Welcome back and it's near the most wonderful time in the year and it is Christmas🎄🎄 That's why I made Blended Learning about Christmas in order to make us understand more about it. 

My purpose on choosing Christmas as my topic is to make people know more about Christmas. People are celebrating Christmas and they are so excited of it and they need some inspiration for their Christmas. But, my target is for the junior high school students where they can make decorations for Christmas, help their moms to get the dinner ready and stuff. Besides, I also want that they feel the joy of Christmas too with their families so I want them to know what is the true mean of Christmas. My goal is they can spend more time with their families at Christmas because it is so precious. Junior high school students around 7th grade will be the best target for my Blended Learning. 

There are many things they can learn from my Blendspace. Such as Christmas song, Christmas ideas about decoration, gifts, snacks etc, recipes for the Christmas dinner, cities with beautiful Christmas vibe, Australians' tradition on Christmas, how to say "Merry Christmas" in different languages and last is about the quiz which measure the students basic knowledge about Christmas. 

The students only need to learn in the class from slide number 1 to number  8 and for the last slide, they can have it as homework but must be submitted on the next meeting so they always remember about Christmas. They will also practice sing the song and make one of the simple Christmas decoration provided in the Blendspace. 

I really want to apply Blendspace in the learning process. I like using Blended Learning because actually this is helpful and can do many things in one file only. Besides that, we can done many explanation using photos, videos and websites easily because all we need it's just the internet connection. My students will understand Christmas from the quiz I made and from the explanation I have provide. And for the tools of Blended Learning, maybe providing a save button may be great because even if it's autosaved but sometimes we feel unsecure. 

I have the example of Blended Learning and I have made my own Blendspace. Click on the Christmas trees below to check it out.

Collaborative Writing📚

Hello again! Today I want to share about my experience on doing Collaborative Writing with my friends. About what role I took, my experience after doing this and many more. But before that, I want to show a picture which explains us about what is Collaborative Writing. So, without any longer, let's just start~!

In this chance, I want to tell you about my experience on using Collaborative Writing. I had a team consist of 4 people including me and my role was as the initiator. Exactly, what am I doing as the initiator? My job was make the Google Docs for my friends to write and work. I am a little bit helped them with their job but not that much. My friend, Angela as the Content Facilitator while Theresia and Maria as the Outlining Facilitator. 

There were few problems we were facing but we managed it and ended up with a big thumb up. We were discussing while we had chance to meet. The problem we were facing was because one of us don't have a good internet connection so the rest of us must waiting for her but we were helping each other until finally we can did it. 

From this assignment, I learned one thing and that was teamwork. Without my team, I won't be able to finish this and I don't know what to do. In here, we have to do our own parts but besides that we can help each other's part so that we can finish this passage faster. This method is really cool and I love to use this method again in the future. 

This is my team's collaborative writing. Check this out. Thank You!

Nearpod💬

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. In this chance, I would like to share about mobile learning activity named Nearpod. This is a very interesting topic and my team and I learned many things from this. First, I will tell you about my reflection on doing this project. 

My team consist of 3 people including me. We discussed about our materials, slides, and our target. We are really exciting because it's just like we made an exercise for our students plus we have to present it just as we are teaching in a class. We were nervous that we might not be able to do the presentation well. But, my lecturer and other friends helped us so, we made it. Using Nearpod is very easy and simple. We can also use many features which help us to do the teaching well. 

Ours is about "Passive and Active Voice" and our target is for the junior high school students around 7th-8th grade. Because after the elementary school they got the basic, they will learn into the next level such as active passive voice. This is also the key of their success in order to learn English well. 

From the explanation above, I will provide the steps about how to make Nearpod just as my friends and I did.

1. Type "nearpod.com" into your search bar and after the page loaded, click whether create account (for the first users) or sign in (for those who already have account).

2. After you in the Nearpod, click "create" to create new lesson or slide.

3. Next step is to titled your lesson about what is the materials etc. Finish give your lesson title, let's begin to make the slides by clicking on "Add Slide".

4. The display must be like this after you click "Add Slide" and you may choose whether what you want to add. There are varieties of options you can use here. But, I will use the option "Slide" for this time.

5. We are on the progress of making the slide. Let's choose what media do you want to use. Not for you, if you want to use video from YouTube, you have to download the video first then you can upload it to your slide because we cannot just use the link here. Don't forget to click on the "Save" button before you make the next slide.

6. After you finish make your first slide, you may choose "Add Slide" again to make the exercise for the students. Click on the "Add Activity" and you may see many of options you can use. For now, I will use "Quiz".

 7. Done clicking on the "Quiz" you will see this and you may create your question. You can add up to eight answers for each number and you can add questions too as you need. Don't forget to click on the right answer.

8. The last step after you create all of the slides, is to save your work. Click on the "Save and Exit" button down bellow as the last touch on your Nearpod. At last, you have your own Nearpod now.  

Those are the steps about how to create Nearpod. Simple, right? Go create your own now!

Oops, I nearly forgot about the advantages and disadvantages of Nearpod. From my opinion, the advantages as I mentioned before is very easy to use and effective for learners nowadays. Nearpod is colorful so they don't have to read many texts on their thick books anymore. The disadvantages is we have to have a fast internet connection unless we cannot use Nearpod to learn.

This is the link of my Nearpod which I made with my friends and I hope this can be useful for my readers. Lastly, Thank You!

Flipped Classroom

Hi there! Back to my blog again. It is very nice to see you again. Today, I will talk about "Flipped Classroom". First of all, I would like to give my opinion about how effective this program in Indonesia. 

As we know, nowadays everything is on the internet because it is the fastest way to get anything wherever we are. Indonesia really have to start using this because it may affect the education in Indonesia in a good way.

From my own experience when I was a student, I never use this kind of learning method. I didn't know anything about Flipped Classroom back then and schools on that day use expensive and thick books to learn. It will be so helpful if we don't need to buy books but we just need internet and gadgets.  

Some of you might asking about how the technique of using this and the answer is really simple. You just need to find videos about the material and provides description and of course exercises. As long as we are connected to the internet, then this is just a piece of cake. 

The affecting factors in the success of using flipped classroom is the understanding on how to operate and use Flipped Classroom. As the students, teachers, lecturers or whoever who will use Flipped Classroom must know about the basic things about it. Besides, it is also about the internet connection. If we have poor internet connection then we will not be able to use Flipped Classroom as the learning method.

After that we have the advantages of using Flipped Classroom. Because we can choose from many videos on the internet for instance, YouTube and it's free. We just have to search the video then we can learn together. So, we don't have limit for learning because internet is as wide as the universe and full of knowledge.

When we are talking about the advantages, we also have to talk about the weakness. We know that everything must be connected to the internet but most off all, I don't find any weaknesses besides the internet. This program is very useful in the future. 

Well, that's all from my explanation and my opinion about "Flipped Classroom" and I also provide the example of Flipped Classroom using TedEd. 

Lastly, I hope this blog will be useful for us and see you on the next blog❣️

Adobe Spark🌟

Photo can tell thousands of memories. That's why Adobe Spark exist for us to make a video of our photos to be a good memories into one beautiful video.

According to Wikipedia :
Adobe Spark is an integrated suite of storytelling applications for the iPad, iPhone, and web developed by Adobe Systems. It comprises three separate design apps: Spark Page, Spark Post, and Spark Video. Its apps became the company's first to be named by Apple as an App Store Best App of the Year and has been downloaded over 3.5 million times.

According to  Adobe Spark :
We’re a small team within Adobe that knows how hard it is to create visual content and stand out on social media. And we want to help everyone—from the smallest of businesses, to bloggers and social media marketers, to a new generation of students—communicate their ideas with impact, regardless of design experience or budget.
That’s why today we’ve launched Adobe Spark, a one-stop content shop for creating and sharing visual stories that will wow your audience on any device. Why “Spark?” To us, the name represents that small thing that can ignite something much bigger. Our tools are simple, but they can make you look pro. Check out the short video below to see how Spark is already helping people tell their stories.

The advantages of using Adobe Spark for me is we can improve our video editing skill for our needs because nowadays editing video is a basic thing on the internet or social media.

The disadvantages of using Adobe Spark for me is because it needs strong internet connection and it makes the mozilla firefox legged and slow.
   
So those are the short definitions of Adobe Spark and I have tried to make one.
At the first, I thought it will be very hard but actually it's simple.
Here is my Adobe Spark video (you can click on the film-camera) 🎥 

Happy trying :))
