SAMR Model

Hi all my readers,
Welcome back to my blog post again. Now, I am going to tell you about SAMR Model. 

Based what I found in Wikipedia, SAMR is an acronym that stands for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition. As instructors integrate technology tools into instruction, the model can be used to determine whether the technology application is enhancing or transforming the learning. The model, created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, has four levels that explain the increasing impact of the integration from substituting another traditional learning method (such as writing with pen and paper) to creating a completely new learning style (such as students complete and present a team project using global videoconferencing and a virtual classroom).

This is my lesson plan about Online Safety for Teenagers.

Introduction

It is important that online safety is discussion with teenagers who might not always be aware of dangerous, especially in a world in which more and more young people are spending more and more time online. This lesson addresses the topic of online safety in a motivating way, allowing students to discuss issues, share their opinions and ideas and then do some online activities to finish the lesson or as a homework task. Students begin by writing some words the teacher dictates, then using them as prompts to guess the topic. When the topic is established students read a poster bout online safety. They do a pre-reading vocabulary activity and two comprehensive activities. If you have access to a data projector in your classroom you can show a video about internet safety, where the tips from the poster are introduced. The lesson concludes with a role-play activity. Students are given role cards with key information and language support.

Procedure

Before the lesson (5 minutes)	Download the three Worksheets and downloads from http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/skills/reading-skills-practice/online-safety-poster.
Warmer (5-10 minutes)	1.    Students have to copy the words that teacher write the words on the board. 2.  The students have to listen the words that related to today’s lesson theme.
(20-30 minutes)	1.      Show your students a poster about online safety. 2.      Students can do a preparation activity from the worksheet focusing on vocabulary the poster. 3.      Students then look at the poster (on their worksheet) and do comprehension activities 1 and 2 4.     Students can check their answers to exercise 1 and exercise 2 by looking back at the original poster.
Speaking ( 5 minutes)	1.   Show your students the videos and ask them to discuss about online safety. 2.      Briefly feedback as a class. You could also ask students - What do you think about the video? - What interesting ideas that you see on video? - How do to stay safe online safety? - How many tips that you have for online safety? Please Explain the tips that you have! - What is internet safety?
Vocabulary  Focus  ( 10-15 minutes)	1.  Give out worksheet and handout and ask students to work together to look for the meaning of some new vocabularies and make some sentences using the new words 2.      Students might need to use dictionaries for some of the words. 3.      As you carry out feedback, encourage students to explain why they chose those words as the Christmas posters and or cards. This should push them to use all the language they have. 4.      Make notes of good points and only other useful topic – related language which comes up.
Writing/further Vocabulary practice (15 – 20 minutes)	1.  In pairs, ask students to choose one of the posters or cards of either of them to write a paragraph how to make it (what the materials they need, the steps) using the vocabulary from the previous stage. Monitor and help students with the language they need. 2.    Put pairs intro groups of four and ask them to reach each other’s paragraphs and comment on both content and the language 3.     Give students a little longer to re-draft and make any changes 4.   At this stage, you could put the paragraphs up on the wall for students to go around and read (this will work better if they have written about different aspects. You could end the lesson here at about 40 – 45 minutes or continue to the groupwork
Group Work (15 – 20 minutes)	1.   Remind students about posters they looked at early and ask them to work in pairs or small groups to classify the eight tips from the most useful to the least useful. Explain that they can include more than one tip in any position. 2.      Elicit ideas for other tips for online safety. Encourage all pairs or group to make at least one suggestion. 3.   To finish, let students present their ideas to either another pair or group or to the class

Collaborative Writing

Hi all my readers!!!

Welcome to my blog. This topic today is about collaborative writing.

Based on what I found in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_writing , the term collaborative writing refers to projects where written works are created by multiple people together (collaboratively) rather than individually. Some projects are overseen by an editor or editorial team, but many grow without any oversight. Collaborative writing is also an approach for teaching novice authors to write.

Actually, I have learned collaborative writing in my Call class.  For collaborative writing I use Google Document. Google Docs make us to write anything that we want to write especially write for our assignments with good smart editing and styling tools to help us to write text and paragraph easily with our friends. In this project, My friend Tere and I choose role as a content facilitator. As the content facilitator, my role is to lead and encourage my group to start constructing the essay.  Here, we have to read the story in pdf first, then we make summarize with the question in pdf. Actually for this project, my collaboration not very many more, because I still confuse how to make summarize. But, I make summarize and do an essay argumentation well. Personally, collaborative writing is a very interesting project for us. This is a very useful project especially for me for my future. Here, I learn to have a good collaboration with my friends to make a project with collaborative writing. For my future as a teacher,  this collaborative writing is one of many ways to teach my students to write with their friends anywhere. 

I think that’s all about collaborative writing and my reflection. Don’t forget to give comments yaaa!! Thank you.

Mobile Learning Activity

Hai all my readers!!!
Welcome to my blog again. I hope all of you still  follow my activity in this blog. Now, I want to tell you about MALL (Mobile Assisted Learning Language).

Based on what I found on Wikipedia, Mall is language learning that is assisted or enhanced through the use of a handheld mobile device. MALL has evolved to support students’ language learning with the increased use of mobile technologies such as mobile phones (cellphones), MP3 and MP4 players, PDAS and devices such as the iPhone or iPad. With MALL, students are able to access language learning materials and to communicate with their teachers and peers at any time, anywhere.

This activity is very useful for students because there are lots of good things. This activity is designed for students to help them know and understand about grammar. Because there are 16 tenses that students have to learn. That’s way my friends and I make about active and passive voice. In this activity there are 4 slides. We give video, the examples and some questions about active and passive voice. Why my friends and I make about active and passive voice? Because we know that the topic is little bit difficult. Even though some students think that this topic is easy but especially for me the topic is little bit difficult. Personally, I really still do not understand about active and passive voice. That’s why I am so grateful because this topic that I choose makes me want to learn more.

My friends and I want students to do and understand the topic well. The students should learn more and often try to do the questions. Especially in junior and senior high schools,  this topic is very important for students to learn.

Do not forget to open this link and also give comments yaaa!!!!! Good Luck!!!

Blended Learning

Hello all my readers!!!!

Welcome back to my blog.  Now I want to tell you about my Blendspace Activity.  

Based on what I found in Wikipedia, Blended learning is an educational program (formal or non-program) that combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods. It requires te physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace. While students still attend “brick-and-mortar” schools with a teacher present, face to face classroom practices are combined with computer-mediated activities regarding content and delivery. Blended learning is also used in professional development and training setting.

This program is very useful for students because there are lots of good things. This program is designed for students to help them to read more careful and understand about the story.  Also, this program can improve students in English skills, reading skills.  And also the students can get lots knowledge about histories.

This program is designed for students in elementary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools.  The students have to take this activity because it can help students know all about the history of national heroes in Indonesia.

In this Blended Learning, there are fifteen interesting activities that I can choose.  I choose knowledge hunt activity. I chose this activity because it is a simple but interesting. I made this activity about the national heroes of Indonesia. I made this topic because I want to improve students in academic skills. Also, I think almost some students forget their heroes of Indonesia. They just learn, but now they forget the heroes. This activity is very useful for students and also for teachers.  That’s why I encourage teachers to use this application because it is useful, interesting and easy. Here, students can make the activity at their schools, at home or somewhere that they want.  Also, students can make and do them with little bit time, around 1-2 days. It is depend on the activity that they want. Here, every student can do it by themselves. They may choose all topics they want.  For teachers, they can teach their students with this application. For example, teachers want to teach about tenses.  They can use this program to make their topics more interesting and students are not bored. Teachers can make students want to learn more about tenses with this program.

 Actually, this is my first time I use this program. My lecturer, Miss Priska taught me about how to use this program well.  She explained it clear and well. Then she asked me to try to use this program but before that, she wanted me to think about what topic that I want to use. Personally, this program made me confused. What I have to make, how I use this program, what topic that I want to make, everything make me confuse. 2 days later, I try to make it and I can make it. Overall, I think this program is very useful for my future.

This is my activity. if you are interested to do, you can do it by yourself. Have a nice to try guys!!! do not forget to read slowly and understand  the story.  Do not forget to give comments yaaa...Good Luck :)

Flipped Clasroom

Hi all my readers,
Welcome to my blog. Now I want to tell you about flipped classroom.

What is Flipped Classroom?

For 16 years I spent my lifetime in classroom. Studying lots of materials, learning lots of soft skills, and also improving my self to be a better person for now and future. Now, I join in CALL class that have lots of benefits for me and my future career. Especially, for this week I learned about flipped classroom. It is where student to the studying at home through videos uploaded from the teachers and do the homework at school or where they study. Personally, I never know that flipped classroom can use for teachers to teach their students. In my humble opinion, I thought that nowadays, the flipped classroom is very effective for teenagers in Indonesian classroom. The students get lots of knowledge, and more active interaction even though not face to face in the class.

Based on what I found in Wikipedia, flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom. In a flipped classroom, students watch online lectures, collaborate in online discussions, or carry out research at home and engage in concepts in the classroom with the guidance of a mentor.

The flipped classroom intentionally shifts instruction to a learner-centered model in which class time explores topics in greater depth and creates meaningful learning opportunities, while educational technologies such as online videos are used to 'deliver content' outside of the classroom. In a flipped classroom, 'content delivery' may take a variety of forms. Often, video lessons prepared by the teacher or third parties are used to deliver content, although online collaborative discussions, digital research, and text readings may be used.

Lastly, I have already made a practice for you to help you know about grammar. Personally, I know  it is difficult for you to learn about grammar but hopefully with this practice, can help you easier to learn grammar. I think grammar is basic thing that you have to learn when you are in elementary high school. For me, grammar is one difficult thing that I have to learn. I always learn grammar but I still can not understand well. In my writing class, my lecturer always give comments about my grammar, he say that I have to improve my grammar. hahaha. I am so thankful because with this website (flipped classroom) I can learn about grammar deeper. 
Yeah...I already put the link practice below. Please open and try to do it. Thank you

Adobe Spark

Hi all my readers,

Now I want to tell you about "Adobe Spark"

Based on what I search in google, Adobe Spark is an integrated web and mobile solution for creating and sharing impactful visual stories. Its goal is to empower anyone, such as small businesses, social marketers and students, to create stunningly visual content that engages audiences across multiple channels and looks amazing on any device. The new service is a part of Creative Cloud. The Adobe Spark web app seamlessly syncs with Spark Page, Spark Post and Spark Video iOS mobile apps, allowing users to create, edit and share their story from wherever they are, regardless of their design experience.

Actually, the advantages is that this application provides layout and themes that are variously interesting. The disadvantage is that this application uses fast wifi internet connection so this might be a problem to some people.

For me, I am so glad to make this storytelling video. I hope you like the video and don not forget to leave any comments.

Thankyou.
