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.

Storynory

Noah's Ark

Hello all my readress,
I think that lots of people already known the story of Noah’s Ark.  In the story of Noah’s Ark, he prove that he always obey to God. In Genesis 6:9-21, when God command him to build an ark, and he tell Noah exactly how to do it,  he do. When God command him to  take seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, and two of every kind of unclean animal, he obey to do. Noah also demonstrate unwavering obedience. He did not listen to what his neighbors must have said as he build his ark and collected the animals. He was not interested in their opinions. The only person he sought to please was God. In this story, God’s purpose in the flood is not to destroy people but to destroy wickedness and sin. God put a rainbow in the sky because the rainbow helps people remember God’s promise to Noah (Genesis 8:18-19).
I think this is what I learn about Noah’s ark. If you want to read more you can read in this link:

And also you can play the game in my quizzes:
