Technology in Learning Process

Language Teaching Methodology

(Technology in teaching at 21^st century

         A long ago people always did their activities so limited there were no cellphone, no computer or many things that you used now. But now life is very easy as we know we can break the entire obstacles like distance, time or even money. You can chat with your friend all over the world with internet, you can visit other country through a website know it well as you come in reality. As a new generation of teacher these facilities support our teaching learning to be a creative learning. We can use all of the things to make our lesson interesting and absorb easily, even you can teach them without face to face each others. Knowing about all the advances sometimes that technology has some disadvantages that are why I need learn about this course. 
            Being a teachers it means I will facing a lot of kind of students who had familiar with all technology, sometimes it will make my lesson are easily explained but in others way it can be boomerang when it use inappropriate (Some of news had said that today many people access their internet inappropriate such as for pornography or criminal things L ).

Through this course I learn to use technology for teaching, it means using it for something that useful for me and my students. In my first meeting I had learn about history of technology, when it was come out and how the technology developed. I think it was very important because as a role model sometimes our students need that information (I mean an curiosity students maybe J ). In a second session I was taught about some kind of ICT can help me in teaching learning? Why I should concerned on that? By the session I had knew that technology is not always can help you, even many people use it does not mean that it will be our domain source. There are many places cannot use computer because there were no provider can support them. Or maybe there are still a lot of school that is poor or limited in provide facility. That was realize me we are still need improvement, and I will be the agent of change. Are you agree with me?

            Now I realize as a teacher I have to be prepare what will going on me in the next future, are world will still at this time? Or maybe there will be many progressions on the technology? So what are you thinking about? Can you predict it form now?

An Effective Teacher

         In the 21^st century teacher has many a lot of things to do, because their students grow up fast along the time. Now as a teacher we had a big duty to be an effective teacher who brings the students to see what is happening in the world. According to Chris Kyriacou (2007, Effective Teaching in Schools) there are three interrelated perspective into an effective teaching they are teacher’s perspective, pupil’s perspective and the last is activities perspective. He also said that when you become a teacher you should doing your work maximal, it’s refer to the quality of time, quality of instruction, and how you make the learning process be an active learning.

           For me being an effective teacher is not talking about new appearances which better than old teacher though it was important too. An effective teacher is a teacher who can impart the knowledge indirectly through an active learning. I hope my students will get what I want they have to learn through game, movie, music, drama and etc. I don’t want to make my students only focus on score without knowing why they have to learn. The important thing in learning is you can absorb and apply it well, sometimes people said that result is more important than result. It was remains me when I was in senior high school, my teacher always taught me to get a high score , they only reread and asked us to rewrite what we had read (it was a useless time I ever had).

Now as a teacher, we are going to teach a new student who grow up with a new system in education. Students have responsibility on their learning process they have to think how to solve a problem rather than rewrite textbooks.  I think it will be a new challenge for me to always improve my   capabilities as a teacher. Through this course PETA (principles of effective teaching assessment) we prepare to be an effective teacher, it means teacher’s candidates will learn about how to  asses their students, how to make some fun assignment, and of course we have to learn how to be an effective teacher.
