Teknologi di Kelas Model SAMR (1)

SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition) adalah satu model yang dicetuskan oleh Ruben R. Puentedura. 

Apa itu SAMR? Saya akan mencoba membahasnya secara sederhana dalam postingan kali ini. 

Teknologi di sekolah, yang banyak dipahami sebagai penggunaan komputer atau alat bantu belajar yang menggunakan teknologi, sering digunakan hanya sebatas pengetahuan dan tempelan dari pembelajaran itu sendiri. Pemahaman tentang penggunaan teknologi dalam pembelajaran di kelas sangat menarik karena benar-benar akan membuka mata kita, baik sebagai pendidik maupin pembelajar.

Sejalan dengan perkembangan penggunaan teknologi, maka pembelajaran di kelas, sewajarnya juga sudah bergeser. Dahulu, kita mengenal laboratorium komputer. Sebuah sekolah yang mempunyai laboratorium komputer bahkan laboratorium bahasa, akan sangat dipandang sebagai sekolah yang maju. Namun, hal menarik yang patut dicermati adalah, apakah yang diajarkan di dalam laboratorium tersebut? Skill mengetik? Skill mendengarkan?

Skill mengetik, skill mendengarkan, skill mengolah data, semuanya sangat mendukung pekerjaan sehari-hari. Hal yang saya coba garisbawahi di sini adalah kata "mendukung". Sementara, paradigma pembelajaran sekarang bukanlah terkotak-kotak pada disiplin pelajaran tertentu, melainkan saling terkait. Saling terkait antara satu pembelajaran dengan pembelajaran lainnya sebenarnyalah memang yang terjadi dalam dunia nyata, dunia kerja. Bukankan salah satu hal yang dipersiapkan untuk para siswa adalah untuk siap memasuki dunia kerja?

Mari, kita lihat lebih dekat SAMR. Berikut ini, saya akan memberikan contoh penggunaan SAMR, agar Anda lebih bisa mengerti secara cepat. 

Substitution: Pada tahap ini, kita mencoba menggunakan teknologi namun sebatas pada "mengganti" media yang sudah ada dengan media lain dengan sentuhan teknologi.

Contoh kegiatan yang sering terjadi adalah: menulis karangan menggunakan prosesor penulisan (MS Word, Pages, dll).

Kegiatan itu hanyalah "memindahkan" tulisan yang sebelumnya menggunakan pensil dan kertas, menjadi papan ketik dan layar komputer. Nilai yang didapat, tentu saja hanya sekedar pemindahan. 

Augmentation: Pada tahap ini, kita mencoba menggunakan teknologi dengan menambah fitur-fitur untuk lebih memberdayakan teknologi dari Substitution yang hanya memindahkan media.

Contoh kegiatan yang dapat terjadi adalah menulis menggunakan prosesor penulisan dengan beberapa tambahan fitur seperti link ke website tertentu, menambah gambar, grafik, dll. 

Modification: Pada tahap ini, kita mencoba menggunakan teknologi dapat dibagi dengan pihak lain. Hal ini bisa dilakukan menggunakan "Google Docs, dkk", "Blog" dan lainnya.

Kegiatan ini, ada penambahan nilai dimana pihak lain dapat melihat, memberi kritik, komentar, mengedit dokumen yang sama dan menambah adanya nuansa kerjasama.

Redefinition: Pada tahap ini, kita mencoba menggunakan teknologi untuk mengubah bentuk awal menjadi satu bentuk baru. 

Kita ambil contoh kegiatan menulis di atas. Setelah melalui proses Substitution, Augmentation dan Modification, maka ketika masuk dalam Redefinition, tulisan yang sudah melewati tahap kolaborasi, komentar, edit bersama, dijadikan sebuah skenario. Skenario ini lalu dituangkan dalam sebuah filem. Nah, hasil jadinya yang berupa filem ini adalah Redefinition dari bentuk semulanya. 

Nah, bagaimana semuanya itu bisa terjadi? Diperlukan beberapa tahap di belakang semuanya itu? Hal ini akan saya bahas di postingan berikutnya :)

sampai berjumpa di postingan berikut!

MENULIS BLOG LEWAT IPAD

Hai!

Kali ini saya menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia untuk menyapa semua pembaca blog ini khususnya kalian yang berada di Indonesia.

Dalam perkembangan teknologi yang begitu pesat, beberapa hal yang dahulu hanya bisa kita lakukan lewat personal computer (PC), atau laptop, sekarang telah bisa kita lakukan melalui tablet seperti iPad. Salah satunya adalah menulis blog.

Blog yang saya tulis kali ini menggunakan satu aplikasi yang bernama Blogsy yang ter-install di iPad. Saya dan siswa-siswi di sekolah mulai menulis blog menggunakan iPad. Namun blog siswa-siswi tidak saya cantumkan di sini untuk menjaga privasi mereka. Anda semua sudah bisa kok menikmati hasilnya melalui tulisan saya ini.

Teknologi seperti ini memang masih dirasakan mahal bagi banyak dari kita warga negara Indonesia. Namun demikian, saya yakin apabila satu hari nanti semuanya akan dimungkinkan baik oleh situasi maupun oleh keinginan masing-masing individu. Semoga hal itu bisa segera menjadi nyata.

Saya sertakan satu gambar yang saya ambil menggunakan kamera terintegrasi di iPad di tulisan ini. Semoga hari Anda semua penuh dengan inspirasi dan Anda menjadi inspirasi juga bagi orang lain. Salam!

iMovie Training, Why Not?

On November 4th 2013, I had a chance to share my knowledge in using iMovie. I use iMovie 11. I shared my knowledge with some of my colleague in Jakarta International School.

When using iMovie, we need to carefully see the project that we want to create. After choosing new project, then we will need to choose whether we want to make our movie in standard or large size. I recommend the standard size (4:3).

iMovie has a lot of features that can make us produce "almost" professional movie. It has green and blue screen features, picture in picture, split pictures and many more. What i love is sound ducking. You can choose your background song that sometime can be louder or even softer. Here, I will not put the movie sample as but surely will give you the picture (that has been edited using iPhoto). Oh, and I will give you the song that I created using my iPad :) cool, isn't it?

Salam,

PODCAST, APA ITU?

Beberapa postingan terakhir adalah usaha saya untuk "cuci gudang". Seperti postingan ini, adalah sebuah flashback untuk beberapa hal yang saya lakukan dengan siswa-siswi sekolah dasar berkenaan dengan teknologi. Berkaitan dengan teknologi, beberapa tahun yang lalu saya memperkenalkan podcast kepada siswa-siswi. Banyak dari siswa-siswi sekarang mempunyai iPod untuk mendengarkan musik. Melihat sudut pandang itu, saya tahu bahwa podcast bisa diputar di iPod.

Mulailah saya dengan membuka laptop di depan siswa-siswi dan menunjukkan program Garage Band. Ya, laptop saya adalah sebuah Apple MacBook. Dengan program Garage Band, saya membimbing siswa-siswi untuk membuat sebuah tayangan podcast. Apa sih podcast itu? Saya mencoba mendefinisikannya secara sederhana menurut pemahaman saya. Menurut saya, podcast adalah sebuah presentasi dengan suara presenter lengkap dengan gambar presentasinya. Menariknya, podcast bisa diberi musik yang bisa menjadi "ilustrasi" dari presentasi tersebut. Apakah podcast harus dibuat dengan program Garage Band? Setahu saya, podcast bisa dibuat dengan program lain, namun karena saya menggunakan Apple MacBook, maka itulah program paling simple terutama untuk siswa-siswi.

Oh ya, saya menggunakan podcast untuk pengajaran Bahasa Indonesia. Skill yang hendak dilatih adalah menulis, membaca dan presentasi tak langsung. Sekali dayung, dua tiga pulau terlampaui, bukan?

Saya cantumkan dua contoh di bawah ini. Silahkan mendownloadnya dari link di akhir postingan ini. Selamat menikmati!

GREEN SCREEN USING MACBOOK

I have a MacBook. I have green wall in my school. I have iMovie within my MacBook. Can I make a movie? In February 5, 2013, I just finished another green screen project with Year 6 students. The aim of this project was to support their PYP Exhibition. I always try to persuade other teachers to use technology in line with "what we have" around the school. I think so far, Apple with its MacBook has provided us with some programs to start with. I guess it is a matter of time when other teachers realize what I say. Let's see the video below, shall we?

Note: I use Video Shrinker - an Apple Apps to re-size the video

LATEST WORKSHOP: PYP EXHIBITION: A COLLABORATION IN 21ST CENTURY

Hello!

I need to update this post since I keep thinking on copyright issue. Therefore, I stop link sharing to the presentation in prezi.
I will give you some screen shots from the presentation itself.

In November 24th, 2012, I conducted a workshop about PYP Exhibition for IB Dunia Conference at Sekolah Pelita Harapan Lippo Village. With the help of some teachers - Shanti, Roy and Mega -, I prepared the materials. Started from my idea on why not sharing with others working on the same thing: Primary Years Program Exhibition?

Why were there many teachers involved? It's because Shanti and Mega are the Year 6 teachers, while Roy is our ICT integrator. More over, they had done such a wonderful jobs integrating technology within the exhibition. PYP Exhibition itself is a culmination of all years students have walked upon their PYP journey.

Here are some pictures from our presentation. Thanks!


cheers,

ARE WE WISE OR FATALIST TECHNOLOGY USERS?

ARE WE WISE OR FATALIST TECHNOLOGY USERS?

Hugo D Gunawan I

Language Advisor: Frances Hazle

“The technology development drives people into two mainstreams:

wise and fatalist users”.

It’s a common thing now in big cities in Indonesia, to see a 7-year-old children play with a sophisticated handheld. The words: pad, tab, touch screen, swipe, wifi, online and many other technological words, are often heard from our children’s conversation. The rapid changes of technology cannot be avoided. In line with the rapid changes of technology, the mid level society in Indonesia is massively growing. 

The phenomenon of positive growth of economics in Indonesia has been predicted. This phenomenon triggers some changes in many aspects such as life style, education and living cost. Life style is mostly related with technology changes. The closest example is the technology exploration on handheld. The handheld that we knew before was mostly for calling and texting. Unavoidably, the technology has had to touch up the handheld we use today.

The changes in our handheld consist of the colored screen, integrated camera, more capacity for text characters, multimedia service (MMS), integrated music player, touch screen, internet access,  etc. , you name it. It seems that the new products bring a lot of changes that users cannot resist having. The unbearable resistance to have the latest technology is triggered by the growth of social media that have been integrated to the Internet bundling within the handheld.

As most of us are in mid level society, the impact of this technology growth does exist. Our kids are whining to have the newest product from Apple or Samsung i.e. iPhone, iPad, and the MacBook series for Apple, and Galaxy series phone and Galaxy Tab as the iPad competitor. We cannot cover our ears when husband or wife also argue with each other about how important it is to have iPad to support their work.  At the end of the day, we should be honest with each other, is it for work or life style? Are we insisting on following the latest technology fad for recognition?

The technology development drives people into two mainstreams: wise and fatalist users. The reason behind our motivation in keeping up with the latest technology offered by all gadgets is questionable. Unfortunately, we can “pull our brake” while our kids cannot. It is not because our kids do not have self-control. It is mainly because they belong to this technology era and have not reached maturity in deciding what is best for them. They can stare at their gadgets for hours and try all applications while adults like us worry too much about spending more money to fix the gadgets supposing they are broken.

How can we keep up with what our kids know? To be honest, there’s no other way than dedicating our time to learn what they know from them directly. Most of us think that we are too busy to sit and learn the games that our kids are playing. Or worse, most of us think that we are too old to know such things. Even worse, most of us think that what they are playing are useless. The willingness is the key. The rest is time dedication and management.

“Getting involved in educating and nurturing within 21^st century education

is not only school responsibility but also parents’ ”

The best thing that we will get when we are spending time with our kids is a better family relationship. There are three things we will have. First, we will be able to justify and influence our kids in choosing and valuing the right games. Second, we will be able to facilitate our kids to think naturally. The last, we will be able to operate new things in our golden age!

The positive impacts are more dominating than the negative ones. Once again, we should sacrifice our time though.

The use of technology is also widely misused by our kids. The boredom, peer pressure and addiction are some reasons technology misuse. Rules have been introduced at home and school to minimize the tendency of misusing. The best part of anticipating this technology abuse should be coming from the users. At this point, basically, it is personal calling to know whether the users want to be wise users or fatalist users. Covering as the shield for personal calling will be the maturity. How do our kids get their maturity? They get their maturity from their families and environment. Remember, we raise our kids with the consideration that their maturity meets the age and is at the right time.

The wise users will consider cutting the word fun into two categories, which are fun to help, and fun to use. Fun to help, of course, the users know that the gadgets offer a lot of fun to help users open their mind. On the contrary, the fatalist users will think that the gadgets are fun to use. Addiction is going to be the result. To be wise or fatalist users, you do not need be kids, adults might do a similar thing. Therefore, the role of parents and teachers in building wise users is critical.

There are a lot of ways to guide users into becoming wise users. The technological gadgets are in trend putting educational games to help our kids to learn academically. Adults will need to make an effort to select and apply these educational games. At this point, educational games cannot always become an oasis to rely on. Addiction is another result for fatalist users. It is kind of funny to hear that the kids are addicted to educational games and cannot put their gadgets away.  Therefore, knowing the right time and the timing will be of great help. 

Getting involved in educating and nurturing within 21^st century education is not only school the responsibility but also the parents’. As it was mentioned in the beginning of the article, the impact of the economic growth is in symbiosis with almost all technological aspects in our lives. That is why it is important for us to know how technology is used in different perspectives among generations. Otherwise, we are going to raise fatalist technology users. To be honest, we don’t want to end up in such a situation, do we? Being parents and teachers in this technological generation is not an easy thing to do. As there’s no institution running educational session to prepare one as parents, we, as parents are required to be committed in paving the way for the success of our kids. In conclusion, I would like to quote what people often say,” no pain, no gain”.

GOOGLE SKETCHUP AND STUDENTS ACTION

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.
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.

Therefore, in relation with the technology unit, my year  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.

Some of them came to me and asked what I am making on my computer. I told them that I wanted to have a dam that able to avoid us from the flood as well as a water purifying dam. This kind of answered had triggered them to work on their design. Google sketchup really made them like experts. Here are some screen shots. Enjoy them!

I WANT TO HAVE MY OWN SCHOOL

After some years in education, my heartstring tells me what I really need to have. Yes! I want to have my own school.

The story will not end up in a sentence. To be honest, I have had my own arrangement on the school's "software". 

Some of the items included in the "software" category are:

1. Curriculum

  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.

2. ICT integration

   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"

3. Teacher-Students-Parents-Teachers = Collaboration

    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 management 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 touch-base.

SHIFTING PORTFOLIO TO e-PORTFOLIO

"An e-portfolio is a learner-driven collection of digital objects demonstrating experiences, achievements and evidence of learning. 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". (http://www.flexiblelearning.net.au/content/e-portfolios-4)


To be honest, what happen to your kid portfolio after been taken home? 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. 


Shifting portfolio to e-portfolio has 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).


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.

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.  Let's shift our mind into the 21st century reality!
