Most of them, live their life digitally. Why don't we accommodate it? Another reason is the involvement of ICT is widely opened.&lt;br /&gt;The students use PC and internet connection to support their research beside library research. They do the tape recording with their laptop while interviewing sources. They take pictures for the interview and for other purposes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, I give you the link to their websites. The websites are still developed but surely meaningful. The reason why I use weebly as the main website because weebly gives reasonable price. I have used weebly for two years. My mistake last month with weebly was deleting the students websites from the previous classes. I forgot that my subscription contained forty (40) free websites under weebly. Well, it's a lesson for me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a joy moment reading the students websites!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theaudiosixem.weebly.com/"&gt;http://theaudiosixem.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theaudiosixes.weebly.com/"&gt;http://theaudiosixes.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://themagazinesixem.weebly.com/"&gt;http://themagazinesixem.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://themagazinesixes.weebly.com/"&gt;http://themagazinesixes.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://themultimediasixem.weebly.com/"&gt;http://themultimediasixem.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://themultimediasixes.weebly.com/"&gt;http://themultimediasixes.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thetelevisionsixem.weebly.com/"&gt;http://thetelevisionsixem.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thetelevisionsixes.weebly.com/"&gt;http://thetelevisionsixes.weebly.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5552071416800705454?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5552071416800705454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2012/01/pyp-exhibition-3-sneak-preview.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5552071416800705454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5552071416800705454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2012/01/pyp-exhibition-3-sneak-preview.html' title='PYP EXHIBITION (3) A SNEAK PREVIEW'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-7775227144042304435</id><published>2011-12-01T17:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-01T17:28:03.719-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMIS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><title type='text'>PYP EXHIBITION (2) - THE PROCESS</title><content type='html'>As I told you before, I am trying to give you - the readers - a clearer picture of our PYP exhibition process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Tunas Muda International School - Meruya Site - few months ago, the students started their PYP exhibition with a front-loading from our PYP-coordinator, Massy Sitompul. Basically, the session was a brainstorming or tuning-in session where the students discussed the concept and skill they had had. Massy was really an inspiration for the students to see all the exhibition preparation sound and alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step was the finding step. The students have set their exhibition goals. They discussed within their group about the action and product. I had a "wow" moment when one group came to me and asked whether their questions had been good enough to be presented. I looked at their paper and could not believe that it was them making all the questions. The questions were a living proof how they knew how to start critical thinking. All things in the concept-driven questions were there to name a few such as form, change, causation, connection and reflection. Then they asked me if I could join them in an interview with some sources people. Why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures when I accompanied them interviewing some experts at Binus University and C'n'S Magazine. More news to come..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8xWEa9gpCg/TtgpH78LYFI/AAAAAAAAAeA/At_sh4wSCjE/s1600/DSC_0018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8xWEa9gpCg/TtgpH78LYFI/AAAAAAAAAeA/At_sh4wSCjE/s320/DSC_0018.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t-1O6Khlxo4/TtgpKu2AkBI/AAAAAAAAAeI/7GV00tgVI_w/s1600/DSC_0032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="242" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t-1O6Khlxo4/TtgpKu2AkBI/AAAAAAAAAeI/7GV00tgVI_w/s320/DSC_0032.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nM5jBWgx8tM/TtgpS62S7eI/AAAAAAAAAeY/9rHbw5Vcp68/s1600/DSC_0047.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nM5jBWgx8tM/TtgpS62S7eI/AAAAAAAAAeY/9rHbw5Vcp68/s320/DSC_0047.JPG" width="212" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Credit: Thanks to Pak Suhud Widagdo and friends at C'n'S Magazine and Ibu Hardiyani at Binus Kampus Anggrek.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-7775227144042304435?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/7775227144042304435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/12/pyp-exhibition-2-process.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7775227144042304435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7775227144042304435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/12/pyp-exhibition-2-process.html' title='PYP EXHIBITION (2) - THE PROCESS'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P8xWEa9gpCg/TtgpH78LYFI/AAAAAAAAAeA/At_sh4wSCjE/s72-c/DSC_0018.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-15371763914726151</id><published>2011-11-24T01:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-24T01:16:35.094-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLASSROOM PRACTICE'/><title type='text'>PYP EXHIBITION (1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"The Primary Years Programme (PYP) exhibition represents a significant event in the life&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;of a PYP school and student, synthesizing the essential elements of the PYP&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;and sharing them with the whole school community".&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(IB-PYP Exhibition Guideline, 2008)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;For all PYP students around the world, PYP exhibition is surely a big thing. I have been doing the exhibition with my students for six years. For six years, I have seen things are growing differently. The transdisciplinary theme can be the same for two years, but the way the students approached the issues are certainly different.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In my first year teaching in IB-PYP school, I asked myself: why should we do the exhibition? why bother? Once I jumped in, then I realized how challenging the stage was. I saw how my students applied their PYP attributes within the exhibition preparation totally. The role of the teachers as mentors only took part as a "frying pan". The students are the ingredients, the stove and the fire!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Here I describe the teachers as a "frying pan" because they only a place where the students put everything they find during their independent research. The teachers hold the findings and only the truest and genuine findings can stay within the "pan". After having a "green" light to go, then the students will turn on the stove and lit the fire!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Here also I try to copy what has been mentioned in the exhibition guideline handbook.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;The PYP exhibition has a number of key purposes:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;for students to engage in an in- depth, collaborative inquiry&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate independence and responsibility for their&lt;br /&gt;own learning&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;to provide students with an opportunity to explore multiple  perspectives&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;for students to synthesize and apply their learning of  previous years and to reflect upon their journey through the PYP&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to provide an authentic process for assessing student understanding&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;to demonstrate how students can take action as a result of their  learning&amp;nbsp;to unite the students, teachers, parents and other members of  the school community in a collaborative&lt;br /&gt;experience that incorporates the essential elements of the PYP &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;to celebrate the transition of learners from primary to middle/secondary education.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(IB-PYP The Exhibition Guideline,&amp;nbsp;2008)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; After this writing, I will provide you all with the latest process of PYP exhibition conducted by my students at my current school, Tunas Muda International School Meruya, Jakarta, Indonesia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;blessing,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Hugo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-15371763914726151?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/15371763914726151/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/11/pyp-exhibition-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/15371763914726151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/15371763914726151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/11/pyp-exhibition-1.html' title='PYP EXHIBITION (1)'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-2393226257270044192</id><published>2011-10-07T00:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-07T00:15:05.937-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEACHING IDEAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUTURE CLASSROOM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLASSROOM PRACTICE'/><title type='text'>GOOGLE SKETCHUP AND STUDENTS ACTION</title><content type='html'>In the 21st century learning environment, the use of application programs is unavoidable. Some programs have to be bought before downloaded. The good news is that a lot of programs are made freely for all users around the world.&lt;br /&gt;One program out of many programs that really suits the 21st century teaching and learning is Google Sketchup. Not only teaching the students about shapes and maths application but also giving direction on how the students can take action by designing useful invention for their surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, in relation with the technology unit, my year&amp;nbsp; six students work individually in "designing" a useful technology. Surprisingly, they made things to help Jakarta as the Indonesia capital city. They dreamed to have some useful items such as "pollution house", "anti flood dam", "anti traffic", and many more. Surely, their designs were not the most detail ones as they were the experts. The way they responded on terrible things their city faces was one prove from many that the students had hearts to share with other citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of them came to me and asked what I am making on my computer.

Okay, if you think that your child does not do the action. Then does he react?&lt;br /&gt;Okay, if it is normal to have a reaction towards an action. Then, your child is not innocent. If he does not react to an action, then he or she keeps innocent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many parents came to me keeping the assumption that their children were innocent. It is normal because their love to their children is bigger than their love to me, the teacher. However, the "my child is innocent" assumption is really going into wrong direction. Your child - sooner or later - will realize and &amp;nbsp;twist it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many parents forgot that kids have problem. Their problems are kids' problem. The adults - many times - think that the problems are bigger. Even, some of them told me that, "if we keep it this way, it will hurt them and they will not grow as normal and perfect adults".&lt;br /&gt;To be honest, those kind of parents need to check their health. In this world, there are things that run beyond our expectation. Our kids get hurt, it will make them perfectly shaped into the adults that independently problem solver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many parents out there who worry too much to their kids growth. They want to make sure that every inch the kids step has to be safe. Who can guarantee?&lt;br /&gt;I do hope that we will provide a better point of view on problems&amp;nbsp;occurring&amp;nbsp;to our kids daily lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"be wise and be ready!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-6980160176883327389?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/6980160176883327389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-child-is-innocent.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/6980160176883327389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/6980160176883327389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-child-is-innocent.html' title='MY CHILD IS INNOCENT'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-643423245380872629</id><published>2011-07-20T21:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-20T21:47:18.412-07:00</updated><title type='text'>BERBAGI ILMU</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Seringkali saya mendapatkan pertanyaan, "mengapa repot-repot menulis blog?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mendapat dan Memberi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Buat saya pribadi, menulis di blog adalah satu kepuasan dari penularan pikiran yang tanpa harus diedit oleh pihak lain. Tulisan-tulisan yang saya tulis sendiri merupakan jejak pemikiran yang akan terekam entah sampai kapan. Disamping itu, saya juga bisa mereview pemikiran itu sendiri. Bisa jadi, apa yang saya tulis beberapa hari yang lalu ternyata adalah suatu kekeliruan atau kurang lengkap. Pada akhirnya, langkah-langkah itu mengasah saya untuk lebih maju lagi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Selain menulis blog, saya juga aktif memberikan workshop atau seminar baik skala nasional maupun mini workshop. Tidak ada masalah bagi saya karena keduanya merupakan penularan ilmu dan juga proses berbagi dan saling mendewasakan. Banyak hal yang saya dapat dari membaca berita yang ditulis para jurnalis seperti halnya ilmu yang saya dapat juga dari teman-teman guru lainnya. Itulah mengapa, saya banyak mendorong teman-teman sejawat untuk "berani" berbagi dalam setiap kesempatan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jago Tandang Bukan Jago Kandang &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Seringkali kita melihat diri kita hanya berani berbicara di lingkungan yang mengenal kita. Lebih sering kita menutup diri untuk berbicara di depan mereka yang tidak mengenal kita. "Takut" adalah kata yang sering dipakai. Mengapa takut? Kita semua memiliki perasaan itu, tapi untuk berbagi ilmu dan menimba ilmu, jangan takut!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Inovasi yang kita lakukan sebagai profesional, seharusyalah dibagi. Jangan kita simpan inovasi itu, karena saat pihak lain melakukan hal yang sama, baru kita menuduh mereka "pencontek". Lebih baik kita membagikan inovasi yang kita buat sehingga pengakuan itu datang. Lebih senang, setelah itu ada yang mengembangkan inovasi yang kita ciptakan. Berarti kita telah menginspirasi teman-teman yang lain. Selamat!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Semoga sedikit celoteh saya di tulisan kesekian ini membangkitkan semangat berbagi ilmu buat para pembaca blog ini. Saya masih mencari lebih banyak ilmu dan ingin juga menciptakan inovasi baru dalam pendidikan Indonesia.

Pada dasarnya, apa yang diperdebatkan?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;Untuk melihat lebih jernih, kira-kira ada beberapa poin yang diperdebatkan. Beberapa poin sebagai berikut:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;1. Tidak mengakarkan suatu kurikulum yang jelas. Saya merasa tidak perlu kita mencari kambing hitam untuk membenarkan satu atau dua pihak. Kurikulum yang jelas ada saat ini adalah kurikulum nasional yang diberi label Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan. Menurut hemat saya, perjelas dulu aplikasi dari KTSP ini di setiap satuan pendidikan. Selain itu, perbekali juga para ujung tombak penjaga kebijakan pemerintahan, yaitu para pengawas sekolah untuk mendapatkan satu kata tentang isi dan pengejawantahannya dalam setiap satuan pendidikan. Kurikulum yang digunakan di banyak negara maju, sebenarnya secara isi tidak jauh berbeda satu sama lain. Tidak ada kurikulum yang buruk, yang ada adalah tidak maksimalnya kurikulum itu digunakan. Mari instropeksi diri kita, apakah KTSP dilakukan dengan benar atau kita hanya kejar materi pengajaran? Kurikulum kita hendak kita bawakan secara &lt;i&gt;"content based" &lt;/i&gt;atau &lt;i&gt;"inquiry based?"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;2. Bahasa. Sekolah internasional dalam banyak benak orang Indonesia, adalah sekolah yang menggunakan Bahasa Inggris atau bahasa asing lainnya sebagai bahasa pengantar. Bisa jadi benar tapi bisa jadi salah juga. Contoh nyata apabila hal itu dianggap benar adalah menjadikan bahasa ibu dianggap bahasa kelas dua. Semakin salah kaprah. Padahal yang benar, menurut hemat saya sekali lagi, adalah bahasa ibu tetap menjadi bahasa yang wajib dipelajari seimbang dengan bahasa asing lainnya. Bahasa ibu dipelajari dikelas dan digunakan dalam bahasa pergaulan sehari-hari. Hanya saja, bahasa asing yang digunakan di sekolah juga diharapkan untuk menjadi bahasa pergaulan sehari-hari juga dengan catatan tanpa memaksakan hal tersebut kepada para perserta didik. Pada akhirnya, anak akan menjadi bilingual sejati dimana mereka berbahasa dengan baik dua bahasa yang dipelajari. Dua bahasa cukup.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;3. Peserta didik. Banyak anggapan bahwa peserta didik untuk RSBI adalah mereka yang berprestasi. Bagaimana dengan mereka yang tidak? sangat tidak adil apabila lingkungan (yang diharapkan) betul-betul internasional education dimana peserta didik mendapatkan pendidikan berwawasan internasional namun tidak melepaskan nuansa lokalnya, hanya untuk mereka yang dikategorikan "pintar" secara test dan nilai. Adilkah itu?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;4. Dana Pendidikan. Karena salah kaprah sudah terlanjur terjadi, maka salah kaprah juga menjalar pada uang sekolah yang dikenakan. Semakin jauh dari harapan karena kualitas dan uang yang dikeluarkan tidak sepadan. Buah simalakama!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;5. Pencapaian. Banyak pihak yang merasa pencapaian peserta didik dari RSBI tidak sesuai dengan labelnya. Namun sebenarnya, RSBI tidak perlu disalahkan juga karena akar dari pendiriannya juga belum kuat. Hal yang perlu diperbaiki adalah menata "rumah tangga" dahulu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;Sejujurnya, banyak sekolah negeri maupun swasta yang berkeinginan untuk mendapatkan pengakuan secara langsung atau tidak langsung dengan kualitas pendidikan yang ditawarkan. Hanya saja, memang pemerintah perlu personil yang tegas dan luwes dalam melihat standar internasional sebagai suatu yang bukan "kulit luar" saja. Standar internasional bukan berarti para gurunya harus lulusan S-2 dan sering studi banding ke sekolah di luar negeri, melainkan bisa jadi guru lulusan S-1 dengan sertifikat pendidik dan terlebih penting mempunya hati untuk mendidik bukan melulu bekerja demi mengejar rupiah.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;Selain itu, pemerintah juga perlu jujur melihat personil yang menjaga gawang klasifikasi sekolah seperti Sekolah Standar Nasional ataupun RSBI bahkan SBI. Ada banyak hal yang harus dikritisi namun juga perlu kebijaksanaan dalam melihat kesungguhan suatu satuan pendidikan dalam menmpersiapkan suatu standar internasional.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;Jujur, suatu perjalanan panjang untuk mencapai apa yang diinginkan. Namun saya percaya bahwa masih banyak satuan pendidikan baik negeri maupun swasta yang benar-benar ingin memajukan pendidikan di Indonesia ini. Mereka ingin memberikan pendidikan bertaraf internasional yang benar-benar mencakup internasionalisme dan kearifan lokal. Butuh kejelian mata baik mata hati maupun mata kepala kita semua.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;salam,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;Hugo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-314057036174076103?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/314057036174076103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/07/sekolah-bertaraf-internasional.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/314057036174076103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/314057036174076103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/07/sekolah-bertaraf-internasional.html' title='SEKOLAH BERTARAF INTERNASIONAL'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-5655032601357378737</id><published>2011-05-27T00:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-27T00:04:51.371-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><title type='text'>PENDIDIKAN, UNTUK SIAPA?</title><content type='html'>Judul &amp;nbsp;di atas bagi sebagian orang sudahlah jelas jawabannya.&lt;br /&gt;Di kalimat ketiga dari artikel inipun, saya akan menjawabnya. Jawabannya adalah untuk anak-anak dan mereka yang selalu merasa butuh pendidikan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketika anak-anak memulai jenjang pendidikan formal mereka, pembelajaran yang mereka terima benar-benar memberikan nuansa baru. Mereka mulai mengenal ada banyak hal yang mereka pelajari di rumah dan banyak hal baru yang mereka pelajari di sekolah. Mereka juga belajar tentang perbedaan pandangan yang bisa jadi mereka dapat dari rumah dan sekolah. Mereka belajar mendengar orang lain terlebih-lebih mendengar apa yang dikatakan guru - terkadang guru lebih didengar daripada orang tua mereka sendiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begitu kuatnya pengaruh pendidikan yang diterima seorang anak dalam keluarga dan sekolahnya, hingga seringkali membekas dalam benaknya. Sayangnya, kita sebagai orang tua dan guru kurang menyadari bahwa kita adalah idola anak-anak kita. Karena ketidaksadaran tersebut, kita sering "menghancurkan" kekaguman mereka terhadap kita. Karena ketidaksadaran pulalah, kita sering juga menanggapi apa yang menjadi kebutuhan pendidikan anak kita terabaikan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pendidikan yang didapat anak-anak dari orang tua seperti kita akan membekas. Ketika kita tidak menerapkan aturan yang jelas dalam keluarga, maka anak-anak akan mengambil kesimpulan bahwa hidup itu lebih enak tanpa aturan. Sebaliknya, apabila hidup mereka banyak diatur mulai dari bangun pagi sampai tidur malam, maka mereka merasa aturan-aturan itu dibuat untuk membuat mereka yang mejalankannya sengsara. Serba salah? Tidak juga, asal kita mengerti apa yang harus kita lakukan dan posisi apa yang dirindukan oleh anak-anak kita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pendidikan untuk anak-anak pada masa sekarang sungguhlah sesuatu yang kita sendiri tidak bisa bayangkan pada masa kita mendapatka pendidikan untuk pertama kalinya. Begitu banyaknya campur tangan perkembangan teknologi terjadi dalam pendidikan anak di masa kini. Apa yang bisa kita lakukan? Hal terpenting yang bisa kita lakukan adalah menanamkan budi pekerti yang baik melalui contoh nyata dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Begitu menyadari bahwa pendidikan yang kita berikan sekarang adalah untuk anak-anak kita, maka sewajarnyalah kita menyadari juga bahwa kesederhanaan berpikir menjadi tumpuan dari budi pekerti. Anak akan dengan mudah membandingkan cara bertindak kita terhadap pengemis - misalnya - dengan nasehat yang diberikan oleh guru di sekolah. Anak bisa sangat kritis menegur orang tuanya apabila mengendarai kendaraan melebihi kecepatan dari rambu-rambu yang terpasang di pinggir jalan. Anak juga bisa menngingatkan orang tuanya untuk tidak melakukan hal-hal yang membuat mereka menjadi malu di depan teman-temannya - semisal mengantar mereka sampai ke depan gerbang sekolah dengan alasan mereka bisa berjalan sendiri beberapa meter sebelum gerbang sekolah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apapun yang kita berikan kepada anak-anak kita sebagai bagian dari pendidikan, akan membekas dalam kehidupan mereka di &amp;nbsp;masa depan. Apabila kita mendidik mereka untuk membeda-bedakan orang lain berdasarkan ukuran kekayaan, maka jangan heran apabila di kemudian hari, anak-anak kita tidak bisa menjadi &lt;i&gt;survivor&lt;/i&gt; sejati ketika dibutuhkan. Jangan juga menyesal apabila sekarang kita secara tidak sadar mengajari mereka gaya hidup yang tidak sehat seperti membiarkan mereka melihat kebiasaan minum minuman beralkohol atau merokok. Mereka akan melakukan yang lebih parah dari apa yang orang tua lakukan. Maka tidak heran apabila kita mendengar ada beberapa pelajar Indonesia yang belajar di luar negeri karena orang tuanya kaya, melakukan tindakan-tindakan konyol demi mencari "jati diri". Mengapa mereka berbuat begitu? karena orang tua mereka begitu &lt;i&gt;permissive&lt;/i&gt; terhadap segala tindakan mereka. Menegur anaknya sendiri tidak berani, takut akan menyakiti hati mereka. Pemikiran dan tindakan yang keliru.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kembali kepada judul artikel ini, marilah kita renungkan. Pendidikan itu untuk siapa? Jangan sampai kita melihat anak-anak kita di masa depan menjadi beban masyarakat. Selagi kita mampu, lakukan banyak hal yang membentuk karakter mereka menjadi manusia yang penuh kasih, kreatif , dan juga peka terhadap lingkungan sekaligus bertutur kata halus dan berpikir jernih.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5655032601357378737?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5655032601357378737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/05/pendidikan-untuk-siapa.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5655032601357378737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5655032601357378737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/05/pendidikan-untuk-siapa.html' title='PENDIDIKAN, UNTUK SIAPA?'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-5352425618913745714</id><published>2011-04-18T21:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T21:53:10.149-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IDEAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUTURE CLASSROOM'/><title type='text'>I WANT TO HAVE MY OWN SCHOOL</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TKKZM2rNdfY/Ta0TNpqXaHI/AAAAAAAAAag/l3ydEmbvk9c/s1600/locker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="321" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TKKZM2rNdfY/Ta0TNpqXaHI/AAAAAAAAAag/l3ydEmbvk9c/s400/locker.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After some years in education, my heartstring tells me what I really need to have. Yes! I want to have my own school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The story will not end up in a sentence. To be honest, I have had my own arrangement on the school's "software".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some of the items included in the "software" category are:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;Curriculum&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; The curriculum will be the national curriculum with some additional known as local material (muatan lokal). The curriculum will be delivered using the inquiry method. The curriculum will use national-content textbooks for the teachers only. Workbooks for the students will be provided.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. ICT integration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;The use of Information and Communication Technology is not in the ICT lab. The school will put the use of ICT within the classroom. There will be no ICT teachers. The class teachers have to be ICT people. The teachers have to be able to think "beyond the future"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. Teacher-Students-Parents-Teachers = Collaboration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The learning process will be started from the classroom where the teachers and students have their interaction and students have collaboration among themselves. After the classroom process, then the parents and teachers will have communication through the learning&amp;nbsp;management&amp;nbsp;system portal developed by the school. At the end, the teachers will have a clear, thoroughly feedback from the students and parents displayed through the learning management system portal. It is very 21st century classroom without leaving the person-to-person&amp;nbsp;touch-base.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To be continued....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5352425618913745714?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5352425618913745714/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-want-to-have-my-own-school.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5352425618913745714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5352425618913745714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/04/i-want-to-have-my-own-school.html' title='I WANT TO HAVE MY OWN SCHOOL'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TKKZM2rNdfY/Ta0TNpqXaHI/AAAAAAAAAag/l3ydEmbvk9c/s72-c/locker.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-8120035827810894642</id><published>2011-03-27T05:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T21:53:10.150-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='IDEAS'/><title type='text'>MENCIPTAKAN SEKOLAH BERKARAKTER</title><content type='html'>Merujuk pada tulisan saya sebelumnya tentang "Sekolah Berkarakter", maka kali ini adalah satu jenjang lanjutan yang lebih terperinci.&lt;br /&gt;Sebuah sekolah yang berkarakter adalah sebuah sekolah yang setiap komponennya setuju dengan karakter yang terbentuk dan juga berbesar hati untuk mengadakan perubahan demi dan hanya untuk pendidikan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada dasarnya, untuk menciptakan sebuah sekolah berkarakter membutuhkan keyakinan, waktu dan ketulusan. Untuk memudahkan kita semua membaca tulisan ini, saya akan membaginya berdasarkan ketiga pilar utama yang tersebut di atas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. KEYAKINAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memiliki sebuah keyakinan adalah pilar mendasar. Keyakinan yang dimaksud bukanlah agama. Keyakinan yang dimaksud adalah keyakinan pada apa yang sekolah ingin capai. Beberapa hal yang bisa dilihat dalam pilar keyakinan ini adalah kurikulum dan tenaga pendidik. Sebuah sekolah, baik itu dikelola oleh pemerintah maupun swasta, harus mempunyai keyakinan pada kurikulum dan tenaga pendidik yang mereka kelola. Memang dalam hal ini banyak hal yang harus dilihat lebih mendalam seperti kurikulum nasional yang sekarang disebut dengan Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) harus dimaksimalkan pengelolaannya. Terus terang, kurikulum bukanlah suatu hal yang hanya membuat sekolah berorientasi pada target menyelesaikan buku paket melainkan pada kompetensi anak didik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kendala yang dihadapi oleh kurikulum nasional kita adalah desain output dari tiap jenjang satuan pendidikan. Apa yang disebut dengan output selalu berkaitan dengan quality control. Quality control selalu berkaitan dengan serangkaian tolok ukur yang harus dilewati para peserta didik untuk dikatakan menyelesaikan jenjang satuan pendidikan. Pada beberapa waktu yang lalu, passing grade untuk UN masih menjadi "momok". Tampaknya hal itu mulai dikurangi dengan adanya penghargaan pada pencapaian peserta didik yang tercatat pada laporan hasil belajar. Waktu mengubah semua itu!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebuah sekolah atau satuan pendidikan, haruslah mengakomodir kurikulum nasional dalam pengajaran yang 'istimewa'. Antar satuan pendidikan melakukan pengajaran yang berbeda sesuai dengan keyakinan masing-masing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tenaga pendidik juga haruslah yakin pada kompetensi mereka. Sangat disayangkan apabila tenaga pendidik memilih karir sebagai seorang pendidik hanyalah semata-mata karena mereka tidak mendapatkan karir yang lain. Keyakinan untuk menjadi pendidik adalah suatu keyakinan yang menjadi suatu kebanggaan karena turut mencerdaskan kehidupan bangsa. Tenaga pendidik juga harus memiliki keyakinan bahwa mereka harus terus berkembang karena ilmu yang ditularkan juga berkembang. Sangat disayangkan apabila seorang pendidik di abad 21 ini masih canggung dengan teknologi masa kini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. WAKTU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mencapai suatu standar yang diidam-idamkan butuh waktu. Ketika kita semua sadar bahwa kita butuh waktu, maka semua komponen dalam sekolah juga harus mendukungnya. Pada umumnya, ketika semua komponen dalam satu sekolah belum sepakat pada yang namanya waktu, mereka akan cenderung saling membandingkan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Waktu dibutuhkan setiap komponen sekolah. Seorang tenaga pendidik membutuhkan waktu untuk melihat, merencanakan dan mengevaluasi langkah-langkah pembelajarannya. Seorang siswa membutuhkan waktu untuk menyesuaikan dirinya pada situasi pembelajaran dan lingkungan sekitarnya. Orang tua siswa juga membutuhkan waktu untuk menelaah sikap sekolah dalam rangka pembelajaran di kelas dan di luar kelas. Semuanya butuh waktu untuk mengerti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengenal waktu berarti menghargai waktu. Menghargai waktu berarti memaklumkan proses. Memaklumkan proses berarti mengerti perbedaan waktu antar siswa yang merupakan individu unik. Kedewasaan intelegensi setiap siswa berbeda-beda. Orang dewasa terkadang lupa bahwa mereka pun pernah mengalaminya. Sering karena tidak memahami proses, siswa menjadi kambing hitam. Ketika di masa depan, siswa tadi menjadi "orang" maka berebutanlah semua orang dewasa mengklaim andilnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mengenal waktu berarti juga mengenal target. Mengenal target berarti mempunyai tujuan pencapaian yang jelas. Mempunyai tujuan yang jelas berarti sebuah kesepakatan akan satu yang terbaik bagi semua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Masih meragukan waktu?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. KETULUSAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pilar terakhir adalah ketulusan. Ini adalah pilar yang paling sulit. Ketulusan teramat sulit untuk mempunyai sebuah tolok ukur. Namun demikian, bukanlah hal yang mustahil bukan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setiap satuan pendidikan harus mempunyai ketulusan terhadap peserta didik. Setiap peserta didik harus mempunyai ketulusan dalam menghidupi pengetahuan yang didapat. Setiap tenaga pendidik harus tulus membimbing peserta didik karena apabila ketulusan terlunturkan oleh banyak pamrih, maka pembelajaran akan menjadi satu rutinitas belaka yang menjemukan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketulusan juga harus diciptakan satuan pendidikan terhadap masyarakat sekitar. Hal ini akan terlihat dengan kerjasama yang signifikan dan berkesinambungan. Apabila peserta didik diarahkan menghidupi pengetahuan yang didapat, maka sangat tidak mustahil apabila ada aksi tulus dari peserta didik terhadap masyarakat sekitar sebagai "buah" pengetahuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para orang tua juga sangat diharapkan ketulusannya dalam membantu proses belajar mengajar. Sering kita temui bahwa satuan pendidikan dianggap sebagai sebuah "pabrik" dimana para orang tua hanya "menitipkan" anak-anak mereka untuk nantinya secara ajaib menjadi "barang jadi". Jangan kita nanti hanya menyesal tanpa tahu harus berbuat apa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketiga pilar tadi tentu saja tidak hanya bagus untuk satuan pendidikan dan komponennya, melainkan bagus untuk sistem pendidikan di negara kita. Tentu saja, proses pemikiran seperti ini masihlah harus ditelaah dan diterjemahkan dalam langkah yang lebih konkrit. Namun saya percaya bahwa kita semua bisa dan generasi yang akan menggantikan generasi sekarang, akan segera berpikir dengan cepat untuk mengadakan perubahan menyeluruh.&lt;br /&gt;Semoga!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-8120035827810894642?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/8120035827810894642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/03/menciptakan-sekolah-berkarakter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8120035827810894642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8120035827810894642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/03/menciptakan-sekolah-berkarakter.html' title='MENCIPTAKAN SEKOLAH BERKARAKTER'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-8994529238479822666</id><published>2011-03-07T19:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-08T19:45:29.940-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><title type='text'>HOW THE INQUIRERS SHAPED - PARENTS GUIDE</title><content type='html'>An&amp;nbsp;inquirer is the one who inquires for something. It is really that simple.&lt;br /&gt;The students nowadays need to be inquirer on the knowledge they seek. The teachers as well need to be inquirers as the rapid growth of the knowledge. The parents moreover, need to be the first inquirers at home as the kids will ask them many questions in day to day basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The International&amp;nbsp;Baccalaureate Organization where the Primary Years Programme came from, really wants to have all students to be the inquirers. In the IB-PYP handbook: A Basis for Practice (p.4), it is written that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Myriad Pro';"&gt;Inquiry, interpreted in the broadest sense, is the process initiated by the student&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Myriad Pro';"&gt;or the teacher&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Myriad Pro';"&gt;that moves&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;the student from his or her current level&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;of understanding&amp;nbsp;to a new and deeper level of understanding"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, the process in becoming the inquirer begins from the students and the teachers. However, the process actually begins from the family environment. Some people said,"It begins from the moms and dads". To be honest, I really agree that as parents, we hold the most important parts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the children ask "what's that daddy?", "Why does the flower have green leaves mom?", and many more questions involving WH questions, we need to answer the questions properly. The children will not be able to be a full inquirer when they hear the answer "well, the leaves have its color because God makes them so" or "you have asked too many questions today, so please be quiet". To connect the answer with God is good but surely God makes everything with logical reason that we also as adults can provide logical answers for our children. Avoiding questions will not make the happy and to be honest will not make us good parents as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any IB schools dream - and yet been proven - to bear more inquirers. As parents, we dream to have our kids hold any language from different nations, master any knowledge they want to pursue, and be person for others. All of that dreams can happen. It all begins from us. Let's be inquirer from now on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-8994529238479822666?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/8994529238479822666/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-inquirers-shaped-parents-guide.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8994529238479822666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8994529238479822666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-inquirers-shaped-parents-guide.html' title='HOW THE INQUIRERS SHAPED - PARENTS GUIDE'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-108203918945360411</id><published>2011-02-21T19:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-08T19:44:56.002-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><title type='text'>TMIS PYP EXHIBITION: DIGITAL NATIVES, DIGITAL REPORT</title><content type='html'>As an IB school, we need to see our students as the children of their decade.

This time, Tunas Muda International School had their PYP Exhibition on 10-11 February 2011.&lt;br /&gt;The school had its PYP coordinator, Massy Sitompul, leading the exhibition together with grade 6 teacher, Shanti Aryani. The transdisciplinary theme was "How We Express Ourselves". The central ideas was "Media allows us to communicate and to share information, ideas and thoughts with others".&lt;br /&gt;The exhibition itself had shown how grade 6 of TMIS really engaged themselves closely to the exhibition.&lt;br /&gt;The visitors, including parents, were really impressed with the results. I do hope that you will feel the same as well.

People want to be still considered local while they also want to be part of international world. One way among many ways in embracing internationalism is to have fluency in some "world languages".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The languages that people have desire to master are English, France, Latin and Chinese. Besides those four languages, people will automatically master their own mother tongue. In some countries, people can have two mother tongues. Thus, if they learn two other world languages, then these people would be mastering four languages during their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To be able to use some languages with good standard of fluency must be a great achievement. Some people find it easy as they are language naturalists; some find it hard.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The rapid changes of world's global economy encourages people to put language as an asset. There are any language courses are established to meet the need of language learners. There are many adults and kids register and learn within language courses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Some schools that also want to embrace the internationalism apply certain language policy that they believe will enhance the language skill of their students. However, some schools have made themselves as "risk-taker" by applying "three-languages policy". The expectation is that students at the end of schooling will be able to use three languages in their lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The big question now is whether the students will master the three languages fluently or they will have one language mastered while other languages are just a failure?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Learning a language, I believe must be started with strengthening the mother tongue of a student. Once the mother tongue is established both in school and home, then the students will be able to master another language easily. Another support is that if a family wants the kids want to master two languages, then the family must also exposed every member of family with the correct use of the two languages. What about three languages? I really think that three languages is way too much.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now, it goes back to school and family policy then.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-7437517468806799409?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/7437517468806799409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/11/language-expectation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7437517468806799409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7437517468806799409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/11/language-expectation.html' title='LANGUAGE EXPECTATION'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-6344862575399819030</id><published>2010-11-04T15:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-08T19:46:09.627-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMIS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workshop'/><title type='text'>Preview Slides from Year 6 Camp Presentation</title><content type='html'>Check out this SlideShare Presentation: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div id="__ss_5671536" style="width: 425px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="display: block;

Tidak ada sekolah dibentuk tanpa karakter jelas. Karakter sekolah akan menjadi lebih jelas apabila komponen sekolah mengolahnya dengan benar dan terus menjadikan karakter yang hendak dibentuk itu sebagai suatu "nafas" yang benar-benar dihembuskan ke setiap anggota sekolah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekolah berkarakter akan saya bagi menjadi 3. Pertama adalah sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan kultur yang dianut. Kedua adalah sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan kesepakatan anggota sekolah. Ketiga adalah sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan evaluasi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan kultur. Sekolah semacam ini, pada umumnya mempunyai keterkaitan dengan religi, adat-istiadat atau kurikulum tertentu. Banyak sekolah yang berpandangan bahwa nuansa religi yang dibawakan dalam pengajaran di kelas akan membentuk karakter sekolah (termasuk para pembelajarnya) dengan corak tertentu. Semuanya adalah benar belaka; banyak sekolah dengan latar belakang religi yang membuktikan kebenaran ini terlihat dari alumni-alumni sekolah semacam ini. Sekolah dengan kurikulum tertentu juga mengalami hal yang sama. Kurikulum yang dianut oleh sekolah, baik itu kurikulum nasional maupun kurikulum manapun, akan membentuk karakter sekolah. Hanya saja, untuk sekolah yang mencoba membentuk karakter melalui kurikulum, perlu disadari bahwa kurikulum yang dianut haruslah dilakukan dengan semaksimal mungkin. Hal ini dimaksudkan agar karakter tersebut bukan hanya sekedar "tempelan" belaka.&lt;br /&gt;Hanya saja, patut ditengarai bahwa para pembelajar perlu juga diberi wawasan pengenalan akan sekolah dengan karakter yang lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan kesepakatan anggota sekolah. Untuk sekolah yang memutuskan untuk duduk bersama dan memutuskan karakter seperti apa yang sekolah akan bawakan, tentunya karakter yang akan dibawa adalah yang terbaik. Beberapa sekolah - tentu saja bersama yayasan yang menaungi - telah melakukan hal ini. Namun jujur saja, manajemen sekolah dan yayasan yang lebih banyak memberikan dasar. Sekolah-sekolah yang memutuskan karakter bersama ini lebih cenderung menjadikan sebuah sekolah "eksklusif" dengan tujuan yang baik. Sering sekali sekolah semacam ini melibatkan para pembelajar dalam lingkungan model pamong alias pembimbing. Sekolah-sekolah yang menerapkan kehidupan siswa di sebuah asrama sekolah dapat dikategorikan &amp;nbsp;sebagai sekolah dengan karakter berdasarkan kesepakatan anggota sekolah (selama religi dan kurikulum bukanlah menjadi yang utama).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Sekolah berkarakter berdasarkan evaluasi. Sekolah semacam ini lebih melihat karakter mereka sebagai suatu karakter yang berkembang. Mengapa demikian? ada jangka waktu terterntu yang disepakati yayasan dan sekolah untuk mengevaluasi dan menganalisa karakter yang telah dikembangkan selama beberapa tahun penerapan. Pada umumnya, komponen sekolah yang akan sedikit "bingung" adalah orangtua. Mengapa? karena apabila perubahan yang diambil berdasarkan evaluasi adalah sangat mendasar, maka orangtua akan bereaksi lebih pada khawatir. Pada kenyataannya, sekolah telah memperhitungkannya dengan sangat berhati-hati. Sekolah semacam ini dapat ditemui pada masa sekarang ini dimana banyak sekolah mencoba menjadi bagian dari industri pendidikan. Sekolah semacam ini akan berusaha mencoba melihat mana yang "terbaik" menurut pandangan masyarakat dalam konteks pasar mereka. Maka jangan heran apabila banyak bermunculan jargon-jargon menarik untuk menjaring lebih banyak pembelajar masuk sekolah semacam ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekali lagi, semua sekolah di atas adalah baik. Semuanya tergantung dari kita sendiri untuk menyikapinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-8139266120885787344?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/8139266120885787344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/sekolah-berkarakter.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8139266120885787344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8139266120885787344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/sekolah-berkarakter.html' title='SEKOLAH BERKARAKTER'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-1960498713256228207</id><published>2010-10-30T10:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-30T10:17:03.131-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><title type='text'>SEKOLAH IMPIANKU</title><content type='html'>Teman-teman yang baik, yang telah dengan setia membaca blog ini.&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa waktu yang lalu, saya mendapatkan kesempatan untuk merefleksikan 12 tahun karir saya dalam dunia pendidikan. Dalam refleksi saya itu, tiba-tiba saya menuliskan sebuah deretan kata yang berbunyi "sekolah ideal bagi saya". Jelas-jelas, dalam refleksi itu, saya memimpikan sebuah sekolah 'ala' diri saya ini.&lt;br /&gt;Langsung saja dengan impian saya itu, ya!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Sekolah yang merupakan sekolah non-denominasi alias sekolah yang menerima semua siswa dengan latar belakang reliji, warna kulit dan banyak perbedaan lain secara terbuka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Sekolah yang mempergunakan kurikulum nasional (Indonesia) seutuhnya dengan &amp;nbsp;penyampaian yang tidak berbasis pada pemahaman isi terlebih dahulu, melainkan pemahaman konsep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Sekolah yang mengedepankan kerjasama dengan komunitas sekitar dalam radius 3-5 km dari sekolah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Sekolah yang memberikan muatan teknologi secara tepat waktu dan tepat pada waktunya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Sekolah yang menerima guru berdasarkan kemampuan mengajar yang baik, panggilan hidup sebagai guru dan karakter guru yang adalah "people's person" alias guru yang memihak pada kepentingan bersama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Sekolah yang memberikan penghargaan kepada guru dengan baik secara finansial dan penghargaan dalam bentuk apapun termasuk training pengembangan diri dan keilmuan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Sekolah yang menempatkan orangtua sebagai teman dalam mengembangkan kemampuan siswa menurut bakat dan minat siswa, bukan bakat dan minat orangtua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Sekolah yang memberikan kegiatan ekstra-kurikuler dinamis dimana siswa harus memilih yang memberikan keseimbangan antara kemampuan fisik dan pikiran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Sekolah dengan gedung yang biasa namun bersih dan menghasilkan yang luar biasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Sekolah yang mempromosikan internasionalisme dalam kesetaraan dimana warna kulit bukan menjadi jaminan pengajaran yang baik dan benar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Sekolah yang membatasi pengajaran bahasa di dalam kurikulumnya: Bahasa Ibu dan bahasa asing 'lingua franca' yang telah dipergunakan di seluruh dunia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Sekolah yang pengajaran di dalamnya tidak terkekang oleh tembok kelas terus menerus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Itulah tadi kriteria sekolah impian saya. Bagaimana dengan anda?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-1960498713256228207?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/1960498713256228207/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/sekolah-impianku.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/1960498713256228207'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/1960498713256228207'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/sekolah-impianku.html' title='SEKOLAH IMPIANKU'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-8028977664788961924</id><published>2010-10-23T23:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-23T23:30:06.466-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEACHING IDEAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workshop'/><title type='text'>PANDUAN MEMILIH SEKOLAH BAGI ORANG TUA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-large;"&gt;Di jaman&lt;/span&gt; sekarang ini, banyak orang tua yang berpikir bahwa pendidikan adalah "investasi" masa depan buat anak-anak mereka. Tidak salah juga pemikiran itu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Di banyak kota besar, orang tua berusaha mendapatkan sekolah yang "terbaik" buat anak-anak mereka. Beberapa waktu yang lalu, secara iseng saya bertanya pada beberapa orang tua yang saya temui. Pertanyaan pertama adalah: Sekolah seperti apa yang diinginkan oleh para orang tua? jawabannya bervariasi seperti: 1) sekolah yang disiplin &amp;nbsp;2) sekolah yang berbahasa asing &amp;nbsp;3) sekolah yang banyak prestasinya &amp;nbsp;4) sekolah yang guru-gurunya "care" terhadap siswa-siswinya &amp;nbsp;5) sekolah yang maju "teknologinya" &amp;nbsp;6) sekolah dengan "program" terbaik.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dalam hati saya berpikir "hebat sekali para orang tua ini. Belum menyekolahkan anaknya saja, mereka sudah memiliki rencana yang matang untuk membuat anak mereka "jago" di masa depan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Salah seorang dari beberapa orang tua tersebut mengungkapkan keinginannya bahwa sejak dini ia ingin anaknya belajar di sekolah yang mengedepankan semangat "global". "Bahasa sangat penting dipelajari sejak dini. Makanya, saya mencari sekolah yang menjadikan Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa pengantar, Bahasa Indonesia tetap diajarkan, plus ada Bahasa Mandarin sebagai bahasa global kedua setelah Bahasa Inggris di masa depan". Wah, hebat sekali!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sayang sekali, orang tua semacam ini tidak melihat dirinya sendiri dan melihat anaknya. Apa yan kita harapkan dari anak kita? mampu segalanya tanpa melihat bahwa itu adalah beban bagi mereka karena ekspetasi kita? Masuk ke sebuah sekolah dengan penerapan dua bahasa saja sudah lebih dari cukup buat anak-anak kita. Bahasa ketiga di satu sekolah? pastilah hanya untuk memuaskan pasar dan jelas tidak akan pernah memuaskan anak secara batiniah.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekolah yang disiplin. Menurut hemat saya, semua sekolah mempunyai tingkat kedisiplinan masing-masing sesuai kultur sekolah tersebut. Apabila anak dianggap nakal oleh orang tua dan dari kacamata orang tua, sekolah tidak bisa mendisiplinkan anak mereka, berarti kegagalan pertama ada pada orang tua. Sekolah adalah kegagalan pelengkap dari kegagalan orang tua mendidik anak pola disiplin sejak dini dan sekolah juga menjadi "kambing hitam" dari kegagalan orang tua.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekolah yang banyak prestasinya. Prestasi akademik? prestasi non-akademik. Apabila sekolah itu hanya mementingkan prestasi akademik, jelaslah itu bukan sekolah yang baik. Sekolah seperti itu mematikan jiwa kreativitas seorang anak. Sekolah seperti itu hanya mau menerima mereka yang pada dasarnya memang "pintar". Sekolah ini adalah tipe sekolah "pilih kasih". Namun, apabila sekolah itu hanya mementingkan prestasi non-akademik, perlu dipertimbangkan juga mengapa sekolah itu tidak menjadi sekolah kejuruan saja.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekolah yang guru-gurunya "care" terhadap semua siswa-siswinya. Apakah anak-anak kita begitu hausnya untuk mendapatkan perhatian dari semua guru? &amp;nbsp;Menurut hemat saya, seorang guru memperhatikan siswa-siswinya adalah suatu hal yang wajar. Jadi, pada dasarnya kalau orang tua mendapatkan guru tidak "care" terhadap anak-anak, bisa jadi guru itu memang tidak mempunyai jiwa guru, atau orang tua yang terlalu "meminta".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekolah yang maju teknologinya. Apabila anda adalah orang tua yang memang selalu up to date dengan perkembangan teknologi dan anak-anak anda juga menyukainya, sekolah semacam ini cocok buat anda. Namun begitu, lihat juga apakah sekolah yang mempromosikan diri sebagai sekolah berteknologi tersebut memang benar-benar serius, atau sekedar slogan dagang saja. Orang tua harus benar-benar sadar diri dan menyesuaikan lahir batin dengan sekolah yang benar-benar berbasis teknologi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sekolah dengan program yang baik. Sering saya dibenturkan pada pertanyaan dari orang tua "menurut bapak, program A dan program B, mana yang lebih baik?" Jawaban saya adalah, " terserah bapak. Bapak mau yang mana itu kan uang anda. Menurut hemat saya, bapak harus benar-benar mengenali karakter putra-putri bapak dan sesuaikan dengan program tersebut, sesuai atau tidak. Selanjutnya, biar anak mencoba dulu, jadi bapak tahu apakah prediksi bapak benar atau tidak". Jawaban saya ini sering membuat orang tua jengah. Mereka mungkin berharap saya akan menjelekkan program yang sekolah saya tidak gunaka. Maaf, saya bukan orang yang berjualan program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Perlu tidak sih anak saya diperiksa psikolog. Perlu, kalau anda sebagai orang tua memang melihat ketidakwajaran dalam tingkah laku anak. Apabila tidak ada yang perlu dikhawatirkan - anda harus jujur - maka psikolog hanya akan menambah beban pembiayaan anda saja.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Selamat merenung dan menjadi orang tua yang baik bagi anak-anak dan masa depan mereka!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;salam,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hugo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-8028977664788961924?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/8028977664788961924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/panduan-memilih-sekolah-bagi-orang-tua.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8028977664788961924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8028977664788961924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/panduan-memilih-sekolah-bagi-orang-tua.html' title='PANDUAN MEMILIH SEKOLAH BAGI ORANG TUA'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-4850486413394527753</id><published>2010-10-16T15:00:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-08T19:46:58.453-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUTURE CLASSROOM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Workshop'/><title type='text'>Shifting Portfolio to e-Portfolio</title><content type='html'>My presentation at ANPS Teachers Conference, October 16, 2010, Sekolah Tiara Bangsa (ACS) Jakarta. &lt;br /&gt;Some online resources:&lt;br /&gt;http://sites.google.com/site/eportfolioapps/overview/levels&lt;br /&gt;http://www.aare.edu.au/02pap/woo02363.htm &lt;br /&gt;Digital Portfolios: Fact or Fashion&lt;br /&gt;By Helen Woodward and Phil Nanlohy&lt;br /&gt;University of Western Sydney.

E-portfolios provide learners with a structured way of recording their learning experiences and work history. E-portfolios can be developed quickly and easily in the workplace to capture live evidence through the use of mobile phones and point-of-view devices, and can include a range of digital evidence such as audio, video, photographs and blogs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

There are some possibilities. You might make a special cupboard to put all your kid stuffs. In contrary, you might not make any special place. The portfolio will go anywhere within his or her bedroom. One day, you will see the portfolios have been becoming a problem because there are no more space within the bedroom or worse, they look like rubbish. No other way then to make them disappear.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;Shifting portfolio to e-portfolio hass been a real need in this 21st century learning. Recording the students achievement using audio, video, photographs, blogs will be great evidences for parents. Another important thing is how e-portfolio is accessible at anytime, anywhere and for anyone (as long as they have username and password - it s strongly suggested that e-portfolio with website based must be password protected).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;If you wish your school using e-portfolio, you may apply within your school websites (you need to make sure that your school server is big enough and has static IP) or having free websites such as google docs, moodle, or weebly. Parents need to be informed clearly on the use of e-portfolio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This e-Portfolio will be staying in website and also burned into CD. After copied into CD, you can make any number of copies as you wish.Yes, you will not be able to touch the real thing, however, you have the evidence and memory of what your kid have done in their learning process. Therefore, we make a step a head to digital form in the making of portfolio.&amp;nbsp; Let's shift our mind into the 21st century reality!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(some parts of this post taken from my school e-portfolio)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;blessing,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;Hugo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-2557416626689257063?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/2557416626689257063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/shifting-portfolio-to-e-portfolio.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/2557416626689257063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/2557416626689257063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/10/shifting-portfolio-to-e-portfolio.html' title='SHIFTING PORTFOLIO TO e-PORTFOLIO'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-9210777847460069467</id><published>2010-08-14T21:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T06:57:08.370-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMIS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEACHING IDEAS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CLASSROOM PRACTICE'/><title type='text'>MOMMY GOES TO SCHOOL</title><content type='html'>Grade 1 TMIS,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It must be nice to see our parents coming to school everyday".

Saya akan tulis secara singkat teacher gathering yang satu ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hari Sabtu yang cerah tanggal 14 Agustus, di salah satu meeting hall hotel Menara Peninsula, para guru seluruh Jabodetabek berkumpul. Acara yang disponsori oleh PT Datascrip ini memang didedikasikan untuk para guru. Sebagai pembicara, seorang praktisi yang berkecimpung dalam pengembangan karakter anak yaitu Ibu Supra Wimbarti, Msc., P.Hd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acara teacher gathering yang diberi tajuk "Membentuk Sekolah Berkarakter" ini terbilang sangat sukses menarik animo guru. Dalam acara ini, guru diajak untuk bertukar pikiran, dan berbagi pengalaman mereka. Harus diakui dalam mencapai tajuk yang dibicarakan, haruslah para ujung tombak yang ikut bicara. Ibu Supra begitu tenang mengalir memandu para peserta untuk menggali lebih dalam tentang apa itu sekolah yang berkarakter dan bagaimana mencapainya. Tak diragukan lagi, beliau memang menguasai konsep-konsep yang harus dicapai sebuah sekolah untuk menjadi sekolah yang berkarakter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acara yang berlangsung dari pukul 09.00 tepat dan berakhir pada pukul 15.00 tepat ini dipandu oleh MC Franky. MC ini cukup heboh dan terlihat mempunyai ketertarikan pada dunia pendidikan. Oleh karenanya, acara terpandu olehnya dengan baik. Salah satu pihak yang tak mungkin tak tersebut adalah event organizer acara ini yaitu Goodwill EO. Even sebesar ini terjalin rapi dan kontak yang terjalin begitu kuat, ketepatan waktu begitu terjaga.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Semoga akan ada acara lanjutan dari acara yang bermanfaat ini.

I saw some of them holding cans and bottles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking closely at the chart, I got the picture of what they were doing. They observed the nutrition facts labels on the cans and bottles. It was interesting because they started to count the nutrition they got when they consumed the food and drink.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also learned how their body needed to consume&amp;nbsp; nutrition. They counted the contain of&amp;nbsp; nutrition and the need for their body. Well, I will go straight forward to the pictures and let you all inspired with your own creativity.

When I told them to wait in the library, - since last week - they were really excited. In the beginning I thought that they would just waste their time talking to each other. I was wrong! They were really showing their responsibility by reading books and play some games.Well, some of them were reading and talking to each other; however, they used a very sensible voice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;To me, they were quiet young; but they showed me that I could trust them in following the instructions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Some pictures were taken quietly by me.

Beliau adalah guru saya ketika di bangku SD kelas 3. Ingatan saya selalu melayang saat beliau mengajar kita membaca dengan benar. "Membaca itu seperti bernyanyi" terang beliau. Setiap titik dan koma yang kami baca, haruslah mendapatkan penekanan yang tepat. Setiap kosa kata, struktur bahasa dilihat dengan teliti. Hasilnya, semua anak memang berbahasa Indonesia dengan baik. Semua itu tak lepas juga dari dukungan orangtua yang juga mencoba berbahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Bertahun-tahun kemudian, ketika saya mulai mengajar, terasa perbedaan yang sangat mencolok. Bahasa Indonesia yang digunakan oleh anak-anak abad 21 ini mulai meluruh. Dialek kedaerahan yang terlalu kuat, pengaruh teknologi pesan singkat /SMS (Short Message Service), bahasa-bahasa percakapan elektronik, bahasa pergaulan dan dialog-dialog sinema begitu kuat mempengaruhi anak-anak dan remaja Indonesia dalam berbahasa Indonesia. Sering saya mendengar anak-anak mengucapkan, "secara", "makana", tanpa tahu makna dan penempatan pun mengganti "nya" menjadi "na".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Beberapa penulis lagu juga turut andil mengacaukan Bahasa Indonesia. Penulisan lirik lagu yang menyingkat kata-kata demi tepatnya not-not dilagukan menjadi sebab musababnya. Mungkin kita semua sering mendengar kata "beri" disingkat menjadi "bri", "pelita" menjadi "p'lita", "selalu" menjadi "slalu" dan banyak lagi. Mungkin saat ini belum begitu terasa, namun dampaknya akan terlihat dengan pasti kurang dari 10 tahun ke depan.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Kacaunya, banyak orangtua di abad 21 ini berlagak pilon, bahkan lebih parah lagi berlagak sok tahu. Orangtua seperti ini lebih suka anaknya belajar bahasa asing. Alhasil, mereka membiarkan saja skil Bahasa Indonesia anak-anak mereka menurun bahkan menyalahkan sekolah. Lebih penting berkomunikasi dengan anak menggunakan Bahasa Inggris atau Mandarin karena banyak yang percaya bahwa semakin dini usia anak mempelajari kedua bahasa tersebut, semakin baik. Padahal, ketika anak mereka beranjak dewasa, anak-anak ini akan menjadi penutur-penutur bahasa yang tanggung karena semua bahasa yang mereka pelajari tidak ada yang matang. Atau, kalaupun mereka bisa memiliki kematangan dalam skil kebahasaan, hanya satu bahasa yang kuat. Parahnya adalah ketika Bahasa Indonesia sebagai bahasa ibu mereka, tidak sebagus bahasa asing yang mereka kuasai. Salah siapa?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Saya berharap, kita semua berkaca pada diri kita masing-masing. Akankah kita membiarkan anak-anak kita di masa depan mempekerjakan orang lain hanya untuk menterjemahkan bahasa ibu mereka? Keputusan ada di tangan kita masing-masing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;salam,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Hugo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-2607764841158746017?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/2607764841158746017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/bahasa-indonesia-vs-remaja-indonesia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/2607764841158746017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/2607764841158746017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/bahasa-indonesia-vs-remaja-indonesia.html' title='BAHASA INDONESIA VS REMAJA INDONESIA'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-5993656970532262377</id><published>2010-07-21T21:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T07:01:10.115-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMIS'/><title type='text'>FRIENDSHIP DAY</title><content type='html'>Grade 4 - 6 Tunas Muda International School held a special day called "Friendship Day".

They had "Tarzan Rope", "Spider Web", "Fishing Pond" and many other games which really challenged themselves in working in a team. They also played banking system with Tunas Muda Bank! There was a big auction at the end of the game. The auction was run for all booths games&amp;nbsp; provided. The students who won the auction would run the booth and made money from the booth. Really challenging!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures taken!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;(for safety issue, some pictures have been removed) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfF5PrLcVI/AAAAAAAAAVo/NRV9Nrberb4/s1600/DSC_0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfF5PrLcVI/AAAAAAAAAVo/NRV9Nrberb4/s320/DSC_0051.JPG" width="219" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfFxDSg17I/AAAAAAAAAVQ/TpyaEzCETjw/s1600/DSC_0031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfFxDSg17I/AAAAAAAAAVQ/TpyaEzCETjw/s320/DSC_0031.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfF1G36gLI/AAAAAAAAAVY/7Q9f85NXDPc/s1600/DSC_0046.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfF1G36gLI/AAAAAAAAAVY/7Q9f85NXDPc/s320/DSC_0046.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfFukFGb7I/AAAAAAAAAVI/1_wiPsvzE0I/s1600/DSC_0015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="169" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfFukFGb7I/AAAAAAAAAVI/1_wiPsvzE0I/s320/DSC_0015.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5993656970532262377?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5993656970532262377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/friendship-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5993656970532262377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5993656970532262377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/friendship-day.html' title='FRIENDSHIP DAY'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEfF5PrLcVI/AAAAAAAAAVo/NRV9Nrberb4/s72-c/DSC_0051.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-6440320672692138715</id><published>2010-07-21T00:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:39:01.656-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMIS'/><title type='text'>TUNAS MUDA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (TMIS)</title><content type='html'>It's been a while for me leaving Tunas Muda International School (TMIS). This year, I make my decision to work closely with TMIS.&lt;br /&gt;TMIS or well-known as Tunas Muda has two sites. One is at Kedoya and the other one is at Meruya. Currently, I'm working at Meruya site (as actually I want to work only in this site :) ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMIS has its uniqueness.&amp;nbsp; It's offering international standard education while the feeling of being a national school is quiet tasty. The school works closely with the International Baccalaureate programs: PYP, MYP and DP. However, the school also applies the national curriculum within its learning process.&lt;br /&gt;As a 100 percent Indonesian (I do not have double nationalities), I feel that TMIS has made a lot of encouragement to its students to be proud as Indonesian. Every Monday, all students&amp;nbsp; wear white and red uniform (Primary), white and blue (Junior High School) and white and gray (High School). All the days aside Monday, the students wear batik uniform showing how the school really appreciate the local genius product and heritage. For international students, this atmosphere surely will bring the same feeling having proud of their own countries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next posts of this blog will mainly about what happens within the school. I hope you will enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagdc7YWzI/AAAAAAAAAVA/3qrnFQ-5B6Q/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagdc7YWzI/AAAAAAAAAVA/3qrnFQ-5B6Q/s200/DSC_0009.JPG" width="158" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagb0N-LtI/AAAAAAAAAU4/BCtYjFYFs_s/s1600/DSC_0008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagb0N-LtI/AAAAAAAAAU4/BCtYjFYFs_s/s200/DSC_0008.JPG" width="198" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagUha4PaI/AAAAAAAAAUw/T0LXonI2C_g/s1600/DSC_0007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagUha4PaI/AAAAAAAAAUw/T0LXonI2C_g/s200/DSC_0007.JPG" width="152" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-6440320672692138715?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/6440320672692138715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/tunas-muda-international-school-tmis.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/6440320672692138715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/6440320672692138715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/07/tunas-muda-international-school-tmis.html' title='TUNAS MUDA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (TMIS)'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/TEagdc7YWzI/AAAAAAAAAVA/3qrnFQ-5B6Q/s72-c/DSC_0009.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-8778444954741527311</id><published>2010-06-01T18:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:41:57.488-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><title type='text'>SWA PYP EXHIBITION 2010 (BOOTH PICTURES)</title><content type='html'>Hello!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I told you before about our exhibition, now I am going to show you some pictures on the preparation day.

Mostly, we feel awkward in giving score when the assessment is project-based one. We know what the students need to do and achieve, however, scoring band won't help. At this stage, a rubric is really needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that for some of us, making rubric is a new thing. Let's learn from a very interesting website specially working with rubrics. The website name is Rubistar.&amp;nbsp; Here is the &lt;a href="http://rubistar.4teachers.org/"&gt;link!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you really go this page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S-DDpH4BaPI/AAAAAAAAASA/9edOYVPAspE/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="232" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S-DDpH4BaPI/AAAAAAAAASA/9edOYVPAspE/s400/Picture+3.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I have to register? Well, you don't have to. There are some templates provided according to the topic you need. However, it is recommended for you to register, if you want to make a specific rubric for your class. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay then, I hope you are going to produce million of rubrics to help you and your project-based assessment. Have a go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5464491839488983483?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5464491839488983483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/05/making-rubric.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5464491839488983483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5464491839488983483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/05/making-rubric.html' title='MAKING RUBRIC'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S-DDpH4BaPI/AAAAAAAAASA/9edOYVPAspE/s72-c/Picture+3.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-7590072916869288393</id><published>2010-05-04T00:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:42:17.271-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><title type='text'>PYP EXHIBITION 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Time flies!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here I am with my new writing about my PYP exhibition for my class. It seems like yesterday just finished with the other one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Waktu berjalan dengan cepat!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Saya kembali menulis tentang Eksibisi Sekolah Dasar yang dilakukan oleh kelas 5 yang saya ampu. Sepertinya baru kemarin saya menemani murid-murid melakukan eksibisi ini.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Well, this time my PYP exhibition is quite different. My partner back a year ago was &lt;a href="http://1to1inpractice.blogspot.com/"&gt;Jane Ross&lt;/a&gt;. This time, my partner is Janet Kean (PYP - IB Trainer). Both of them are really experts. I have myself in a really safe situation. What a life! Our PYP coordinator is also involving herself to make this exhibition a great success. &lt;a href="http://fridadwiyanti.blogspot.com/"&gt;Frida&lt;/a&gt;, our PYP coordinator as well as PYP- IB Trainer, gives us a lot of support in giving a clear picture for the students. An exhibition is not an easy job for grade 5 students. However, the students are really excited to make this step a giant success.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kali ini, eksibisi yang akan dilakukan sedikit berbeda. Partner saya dahulu adalah Jane Ross. Kali ini, partner saya adalah Janet Kean seorang PYP trainer dari IB (International Baccaulaureate). Keduanya adalah guru-guru berpengalaman dan sangat handal. Saya merasa sangat aman dan nyaman bersama mereka. Begitulah hidup! PYP koordinator kami, Ibu Frida, juga terlibat langsung untuk membuat eksibisi ini sukses. Ibu Frida, sebagai PYP koordinator dan sekaligus PYP trainer dari IB, memberi dukungan penuh terutama dalam memberikan pandangan yang jernih bagi anak-anak tentang eksibisi. Sebuah eksibisi adalah bukan hal yang mudah bagi anak-anak kelas 5. Namun begitu, anak-anak begitu bersemangat untuk melakukan langkah yang akan membuat satu kesuksesan besar.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Last year, we conducted the PYP Exhibition under transdisciplinary theme "Sharing the Planet". At that time, most of the students went to Sumbawa island to see how gold mining and its effect. Now, we are looking at the same theme, however, the focus that the students look at are quite different. The students currently are doing their independent research. Parents' involvement in supporting their kids are really taking part. At this stage, I only tell you the beginning part. We are going to do the exhibition at the end of May.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Therefore, hold on! I will tell you more about this exhibition soon. Enjoy the two selected pictures. Thank you!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tahun yang lalu, eksibisi kami mengusung tema "Sharing the Planet" (Berbagi Bumi). Kali itu, hampir sebagian besar murid pergi ke Sumbawa untuk melihat bagaimana tambang emas beroperasi dan dampak-dampaknya. Kali ini, tema yang diusung masih sama, hanya saja fokus yang dikerjakan oleh para murid sedikit berbeda. Angkatan ini lebih banyak melakukan penelitian mandiri. Orangtua juga lebih terlibat dalam mendukung penelitian mandiri. Pada tahap ini, saya hanya menulis perjalanan awal saja. Eksibisi itu sendiri akan berlangsung pada akhir bulan Mei.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Maka dari itu, tahan dulu ya! Saya akan menulis lebih banyak tentang eksibisi ini. Selamat menikmati dua gambar yang saya pilih. Terima kasih!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S9_RgEial4I/AAAAAAAAAR4/exVxktKMjWc/s1600/DSC_0055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S9_RgEial4I/AAAAAAAAAR4/exVxktKMjWc/s320/DSC_0055.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S9_ReMr--TI/AAAAAAAAARw/ducze0fAwrQ/s1600/DSC_0056.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S9_ReMr--TI/AAAAAAAAARw/ducze0fAwrQ/s320/DSC_0056.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-7590072916869288393?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/7590072916869288393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/05/pyp-exhibition-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7590072916869288393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/7590072916869288393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2010/05/pyp-exhibition-2010.html' title='PYP EXHIBITION 2010'/><author><name>GURU HUGO</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05628903118524457046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W9WdcGZBGMg/To6qC796aAI/AAAAAAAAAbM/H24ZEu6tCRk/s220/blog.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_QQN-P1s4MNU/S9_RgEial4I/AAAAAAAAAR4/exVxktKMjWc/s72-c/DSC_0055.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-3080938523896945897</id><published>2010-04-12T20:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:45:03.858-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHILOSOPHY'/><title type='text'>MENGAJAR ITU ANUGERAH DAN PANGGILAN JIWA</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Beberapa guru yang saya temui telah mengajar bertahun-tahun. Mereka sangat bangga dengan tahun-tahun mengajar mereka. Kebanggaan itu semakin terungkap manakala ada beberapa mantan muridnya yang menjadi &lt;i&gt;"orang"&lt;/i&gt;. Beberapa dari mereka dengan bangga menyebut bahwa si A yang menadi walikota kota &lt;i&gt;anu&lt;/i&gt; adalah mantan muridnya di kelas 3 SMP, atau si B yang menjadi penyanyi terkenal itu dulu murid dia di kelas 3 SD. "Wah, padahal dulu itu suaranya fales &lt;i&gt;banget&lt;/i&gt;!" celetuknya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Saya sangat kagum dengan mereka yang bisa bertahan bertahun-tahun menjadi pengajar. Banyak dari mereka yang secara ekonomi terseok-seok manakala gaji yang mereka terima dari jaman dahulu sampai sekarang hanya sampai pada level &lt;i&gt;"pas"&lt;/i&gt; atau bahkan &lt;i&gt;"kurang"&lt;/i&gt; dan menjadi banyak "&lt;i&gt;hutang&lt;/i&gt;". Ada juga yang sukses karena mempunyai usaha lain atau mengolah kemampuan mengajarnya dengan mengajar les privat atau menulis buku. Semuanya bertahan dengan kemampuan dan daya kreasinya masing-masing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mengajar itu anugerah dan panggilan jiwa, hal itu dikatakan oleh ibu saya yang dulu adalah seorang guru juga. Mengapa anugerah? lihat saja mereka yang mengajar bertahun-tahun dan tetap setia. Bagi mereka, kemampuan mengajar itu suatu anugerah yang tidak semua orang mendapatkannya. Banyak orang mengatakan bahwa mengajar butuh kesabaran bahkan terkadang keiklhasan untuk merogoh kocek pribadi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Mengajar itu panggilan jiwa. Benar juga! Seorang dokter yang sukses dengan karirnya, merasa ada yang kurang dalam dirinya. Ia senang berbicara dengan pasiennya, menerangkan banyak hal tentang penyakit yang diderita oleh pasiennya dan meyakinkan mereka bahwa semua dapat dilewati dengan baik. Suatu ketika, ada tawaran untuk mengajar mahasiswa kedokteran dari seorang teman dokter yang hendak cuti mengajar. Saat sang dokter ada di depan kelas, ia merasa suatu hal yang berbeda terjadi pada dirinya. Mengajar adalah panggilan jiwanya. Alhasil, selain praktek sebagai dokter handal, dia juga dikenal sebagai pengajar yang mumpuni. Mahasiswa-mahasiswinya sangat kehilangan sosoknya ketika jenazahnya dikebumikan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ada satu pertanyaan menggelitik, apakah cukup menyadari bahwa mengajar itu anugerah dan panggilan jiwa? Saya rasa tidak. Seekor burung tidak dilihat dari berapa tahun ia terbang, tapi bagaimana ia terbang. Seorang guru tidak hanya dilihat dari berapa lama ia mengajar, tetapi bagaimana ia mengajar. Percuma mengajar bertahun-tahun lamanya apabila cara mengajarnya hanya dari itu ke itu saja. Semangat dalam penhajaran hanya menjadi rutinitas. Harus diingat bahwa&amp;nbsp; menularkan ilmu adalah sebuah seni yang hanya bisa dikatakan dan kemudian dikerjakan dengan hati lalu seni itu baru bisa dirasakan oleh orang lain. Mengajar adalah sebuah hubungan batin antara guru dan muridnya. Seorang guru bisa saja menjadi guru &lt;i&gt;"killer&lt;/i&gt;" namun dirindukan pengajarannya oleh murid-muridnya. Seorang guru harus bisa membuat suasana "&lt;i&gt;mulu&lt;/i&gt;r" (rileks) dan "&lt;i&gt;mungkret&lt;/i&gt;" (disiplin). Seorang guru harus bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi murid-muridnya.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bagaimana dengan kita para pengajar?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;salam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hugo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;PS: Terima kasih buat para guru SD-ku di SDN Kesdam IV Diponegoro dan SDN Siliwangi II Semarang.

That was the title written in my Maths Scope and Sequence. Well, what is that?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;I found that the idea of using Microsoft Excel was not a new thing at all. However, to my grade 5 students, it was like a new thing for them. After having the bar graphs in their maths book ( as the result of their "mini survey"), in a sudden I asked them to open their laptop and transferred one of their graphs using the program. It was funny when they really paid attention because they wanted to make the most different look compared to their friends'.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;It was amazing to see how grade 5 students tried to explore many different kind of graphs style. At this stage, I only will share this really brief story. The next step, I will have the screen capture of what the students have made.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Here is the screen capture from one of my students.

I gave my students the legend of Ki Ageng Pandanaran. It was the story where Ki Ageng as the mayor of Semarang had a great lesson from Sunan Kalijaga - one of the most influence Moslem leaders in 13th Century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dalam Bahasa Indonesia, siswa-siswi belajar tentang cerita legenda. Saya membawakan legenda tentang Ki Ageng Pandanaran dalam legenda terjadinya kota Salatiga. Ki Ageng adalah seorang bupati Semarang yang mendapatka satu pelajaran tentang menjadi pemimpin yang baik dari Sunan Kalijaga - salah seorang wali yang sangat berpengaruh di abad 13.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The students put one fragment from the story into a comic.

Well, for some people who were raised in that kind of situation, I will not give my argument. However, our kids today live in the era of gadgets, games and gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As 21st century teacher, I have my own big question. When I transfer the concept and assist the kids to "play" with the skills, what is my expectation?&lt;br /&gt;Honestly, my expectation is only one. I want the students to apply the skills. I do not want the students end up with the knowledge but not the application. It is true that the way the students deliver their understanding onto their application work is different depending on their own level of understanding. We do not have to worry that the kids whose level of understanding is lower, will not survive in the future. The kids have their ability as students which is to see, observe, re-think and re-do. I believe all adults (parents) have that kind of experience. Adults might be afraid that the kids will fail and feel useless. They won't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a picture of learning about the area of rectangle in application of a parking lot. The students learned how to divide a piece of land into a parking lot complete with the arrangement and the income. I believe, the application of skills presented in this project will make the a better practitioner in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessing,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hugo&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-5464144366850017389?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/5464144366850017389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/12/maths-for-real.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5464144366850017389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/5464144366850017389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/12/maths-for-real.html' title='MATHS FOR REAL'/><author><name>Grade 5 SWA Teacher</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/Sxc6mehAeyI/AAAAAAAAAC4/AEWBzE_1mWk/s72-c/parkiran.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-1249906181518563394</id><published>2009-06-05T21:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:42:40.440-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PYP EXHIBITION'/><title type='text'>GRADE 5 PYP EXHIBITION SINARMAS WORLD ACADEMY</title><content type='html'>Long time no see!&lt;br /&gt;I was really really really busy!

Google Earth is a great program that you can download from Google. Within the program, we can see geographical aspects throughout the earth. Even we can see our own neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best parts related to learning are the features within the program. It helps us to know about the daylight movement, mapping (as we can apply grid within the globe), longitude and latitude, and many more. In our class, we learn about everyone's house position. The students are looking closely at the area where they live. Then they start using the grid to know exactly the longitude and latitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The learning process keeps progressing as the students learn to map their school. They apply the grid system to know where their friends position within the school. It's so amazing when one of my students asked,"is it similar with the way GPS (Global Positioning System) system works?". Here we go, they started to get the point. Well, you may try with your class!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;280209&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-8412257885753768276?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/8412257885753768276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/02/maths-and-google-earth.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8412257885753768276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/8412257885753768276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/02/maths-and-google-earth.html' title='MATHS AND GOOGLE EARTH'/><author><name>Grade 5 SWA Teacher</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SahvkcV9xOI/AAAAAAAAACI/KGXe5l_3Yy8/s72-c/Picture+6.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-4118553108024695058</id><published>2009-02-17T17:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:43:43.212-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TEACHING IDEAS'/><title type='text'>COLLABORATIVE WORK : BAHASA INDONESIA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SZtuz-mMtSI/AAAAAAAAACA/IsfePlJ64zs/s1600-h/newspaper.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303954825414489378" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SZtuz-mMtSI/AAAAAAAAACA/IsfePlJ64zs/s400/newspaper.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear all,&lt;br /&gt;It's been a while since my last post. It feels like ages to me! Frankly speaking, the workload is getting bigger and bigger. Now, I have my 10 minutes to write about our Bahasa Indonesia lesson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Christmas holiday, I tried to get all the students to feel what we called "collaborative writing". I offered them to write a report writing. "What will be the theme?" one of them asked. I replied back with raising my eyebrows. "You decide!" Then the whole class tried to discuss. When one of them asked whether they can report their last unit researching about colonialism, the whole class agreed at once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without any hesitation, I divided them into four groups. They wrote within their group. The result was excellent! The four writing was there. I helped them by editing the diction and gave the opening. Then we collaborate the four writing. Wow! it was becoming powerful report writing. Each group had their own strong points that could be contributed perfectly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it had done, I told my partner Jane Ross. She gave us an idea of sending it to the newspaper. Fortunately, we have children newspaper in Indonesia. Jane Ross made a contact and sent the writing. After holiday, we got news that our class writing would be issued in January. WOW!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newspaper, KORAN BERANI, gave us one page. It was Friday, January 16, 2009 and one of beautiful Fridays in my life. Here we are, in the newspaper. We are spreading the spirit of language, friendship, technology and internationalism. Thanks to Jane Ross, KORAN BERANI and thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth Van Kampen who always becomes our inspiration! and of course, thanks to all students!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;180209 - Mr. H&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-4118553108024695058?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/4118553108024695058/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/02/collaborative-work-bahasa-indonesia.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/4118553108024695058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/4118553108024695058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2009/02/collaborative-work-bahasa-indonesia.html' title='COLLABORATIVE WORK : BAHASA INDONESIA'/><author><name>Grade 5 SWA Teacher</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SZtuz-mMtSI/AAAAAAAAACA/IsfePlJ64zs/s72-c/newspaper.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-7585722496035905741</id><published>2008-12-11T00:18:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-28T08:49:20.723-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FUTURE CLASSROOM'/><title type='text'>What We Want From a 21st Century School</title><content type='html'>&lt;object height="360" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://voicethread.com/book.swf?b=289420"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://voicethread.com/book.swf?b=289420" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="0" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTIyODk4MzM5MjU1NiZwdD*xMjI4OTgzNDc*Mzk3JnA9MjA2NDIxJmQ9YjI4OTQyMCZuPWJsb2dnZXImZz*yJnQ9Jm89ZGYxNTkyMjcwMGI5NGI1ZTgyODUzY2M2ZmI4ZjE1Nzk=.gif" style="height: 0px;

This week, we have to wrap up everything and make our reflection. Before it is ended, we had an extremely interesting trip to Fatahilla Museum. The museum was located in the part of olden city Jakarta. You can see many old buildings built by the Dutch. Most of the buildings were built in 18th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The museum, once, was the office of the governor general. It was mentioned that Jan Pieterzoon Coen, one of the famous governor general, had used the building. The building itself truly just great. You can say that the Dutch really good in making an everlasting building. It is true that the building was not the original building as it had been built in 1707. Through wars, the building had been renovated to be exactly as the original shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor General Joan van Hoorn was the man behind the erection of the building. However, Governor General Abraham van Riebeeck was the man behind the launching of the building. You can imagine how happy the Dutch were to have this building as the representative power  of the Dutch Royal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All right, I am the teacher. I don't want to dominate the report. If you want to know what happened there, go to our class blog powered by my partner Mrs. T.

We are now walking the second unit of our inquiries. As we are learning about colonialism and imperialism, we are looking for their meaning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;More than just a meaning, we make our research on people who had the experience during Dutch colonialism or the Japan imperialism of Indonesia. Mrs. T and I were preparing the unit when accidentally she had this very interesting website. The website was like our virtual book just when we needed one. www.dutch-east-indies.com.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As we were born as inquirer, I tried to fulfill the guest book. To my surprise, Mrs. Van Kampen replied! I was excited. When my class was doing their reading on her websites, I told them that she replied my comment in her website guestbook by e-mail. The whole class was surprised. They wanted to send her email by their own email account. Wow, hold on! Let's have all questions together to make everything smoother.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;We had made the students to ask 5 questions per group. Basically, we corresponded using 21st century tools ; e-mail. It was unbelievable when she replied the students email. We were more than excited! We wanted to talk to her live!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, let's wait and see!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-3875400146046246949?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.dutch-east-indies.com' title='MRS.

However, the fun side is not the aim of this experiment. In SWA, especially for grade 5, we really fortunate to have Mrs. T who is very scientific doing the steps of experiment. To be honest, you can see how happy grade 5 students to do the task behind the experiment. They are happier to see the DVD of the experiment was played just the day after the experiment conducted. Once again, it was because the "handy" Mrs. T involved in making the DVD ready to be played in the cafe area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #003333; font-family: arial; font-size: 130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #003333; font-family: arial; font-size: 130%;"&gt;There will be a lot of excited things waiting to be experienced by the class...

class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Among the attitudes I know on my wall, I think respect would be the first thing to learn. I really learn that when we respect our surroundings, then we would have the same feedback; even greater. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The first time I remember early in the morning after God is to respect the members of my family. Of course, in this case, my respect would be blended with love and affection. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;However, when we really keep in our mind about respecting others, every step we make during the day would be lighter and happier. Giving out our smiles and greetings to each of person we meet would be one of actions on respect. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Let's give a hundred percents of our strength to respect others and enjoy the positive feedback day by day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;greetings,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6259646748038598891-125058264938933763?l=guruhugo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/feeds/125058264938933763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2008/08/attitudes-no-1-respect.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/125058264938933763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6259646748038598891/posts/default/125058264938933763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://guruhugo.blogspot.com/2008/08/attitudes-no-1-respect.html' title='ATTITUDES NO. 1: RESPECT'/><author><name>Grade 5 SWA Teacher</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SKzl9V1dhFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/hlTa51OuqeI/s72-c/100_0252.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259646748038598891.post-5487364839620575018</id><published>2008-08-13T07:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-17T02:32:53.295-07:00</updated><title type='text'>NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SKfwM1NbzcI/AAAAAAAAAAY/AK0yYBdFVSE/s1600-h/Blog+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235417195074014658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JcU0BaIeYRM/SKfwM1NbzcI/AAAAAAAAAAY/AK0yYBdFVSE/s320/Blog+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;Hey there!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;I start my new academic year 2008 in my brand new school, Sinarmas World Academy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;I know that there will be a lot of changes this academic year since I have my new class. After two years working behind the desk, now I am ready to work collaboratively with the students in front of the class. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;I do hope that it would be a great year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;Working in a new environment gives me a new perspective. I am really fortunate to work with great teachers in my class. They are Jane and Vivi. Jane is a very talented and sourcefull teacher (as a little bird told me before hand). Vivi is a dedicated one. I feel safe in my class because of them! What a life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#333300;"&gt;Another hope goes to this blog which I dedicate for grade 5 Sinarmas World Academy.
