When My Learning was written ...

I have observed in SMAN 12. The school uses the moving class system in their learning process. My friend and I focus on the first grade senior high school. Every class consists of at least 40 students. The technology in the school is convenient for the high school students likes Computer Laboratory, Internet Access free (WIFI), School Radio Channel, Language Laboratory, Audio and Visual room, and communication tools.
Technology that is used in SMAN 12 is mostly the new or digital technology but they are still using whiteboard in classroom. There is no one digital technology in every class but if they want to use the computer or internet access in learning activity, they can go to Audio and Visual room. In that room, the school provides one controlled computer, sound systems and LCD. If they want to go online in supporting the learning process, they can go to computer laboratory. In computer laboratory, there are computer and internet access for each student and also free hotspot in the school area.
Since two weeks observed, my friend and I did not observe our master teacher in teaching process. She asked us to teach since the second day we are there. So, I will assess our teaching process in classroom.
We almost did not use the digital media in teaching process, except the last day. In the last day, we taught them narrative text in Audio and Visual room because we need computer access and it is not available in the classroom. We used computer and LCD to play a game board. We showed the board in front of the class with LCD.
If I were a teacher in SMAN 12, I will optimize the using of technology. I can bring the students to Language Laboratory to practice their listening, reading and speaking from a song, film or video. The other activity is “go online”. Because my focus is Language Teaching, I will ask them to find some English articles from the internet in Computer Laboratory and then they have to find difficult words and phrases. That activity can give them some additional vocabularies or idioms. I also want to allow them to go online and getting some chats with foreigners in social networking. If they chat with Skype, they also can talk each other directly. As we know, the high school students are usually shy with their English. So, this activity can provide them a practice of their confidences and fluently in writing or speaking English. Even I try to use the technology optimally. I have to focus on my goals. The students have to get the main point or the concept of my teaching and they can practice it in the real life. So, I think that all activities only can practice one or two times in a month but they still can do that all in their home.
