My pop quiz result (Eva listiana)

ICT in educational field means using ICT in teaching and learning process. Educational ICT tools can be divided into three; input source, output source, and others.

Input source: PC, students’ response, visualizer, application software

Output source: Projector, interactive whiteboard, displayer

Others    : Digital camera, digital recorder, others technology

Using ICT in the teaching and learning process will aim both the teacher and the students on delivering and receiving the materials. For students, ICT provides a lot of media that can make all what they learn is easier to be understood, for example by using audio visual media. It will stimulate their brains to memorize the material easily. For teacher using ICT tools in the teaching process will aim the works on delivering the material. For example they should not speak to loud because they can use microphone when they are teaching a big class, they can also use software to make an interactive interesting presentation.

According to PC Pro, there are 10 free online tools for teaching and learning. They are:

1.      Wallwisher

2.      Prezi

3.      Study blue

4.      Animoto

5.      Wordle

6.      Storybird

7.      Pooplet

8.      Googledocs

9.      Dipity

10.  Storify

Wallwisher allows users to build virtual classroom Walls, in the sense you might be familiar with from Facebook, onto which 160-character messages, web links, images, videos and audio may be posted. Individuals can use it to mind-map, keep notes, or bookmark useful websites - but the real power of Wallwisher is in its potential for collaborative activities.

Prezi is a kind of a presentation maker like Microsoft power point, but it is more dynamic and interesting.

All those 10 ICT can be applied in the teaching learning practice to improve the educational quality for both the student and teacher as long as the school supporting media is supported.

ICT in language teaching

Here I am going to share a little bit information about some topics. There are four topics that I will explain in this writing. They are management information system (MIS), Hypertext, Hypermedia, and Multimedia.

   1 Management information system (MIS)

Nowadays, our lives are really close with technology. Every part of our activities needs technology to make easier of it. In this era we have internet. By using internet we can get easy of getting what we need. All information that will make an improvement on our life quality can be gotten through internet. For example if we want to access todays new or we want to read online newspaper. We just have to connect the computer to internet then browse whatever we are going to read. The other example is when we learn how to cook well; we can browse many recipes of all kind of food by accessing the internet.

The three important aspects that are included in MIS are technology, information, and people.

2.  Hypertext

Hypertext is a kind of text that we usually find when we are accessing web address which appeared with different color (blue) and if it is clicked, it will connect to another text. According to  www.Iath.virginia.edu/elab/hfl0037.html Hypertext is the presentation of information as a linked network of nodes which readers are free to navigate in a non-linear fashion. So when we find hypertext in any sources in the internet, we will find another text that is linked and support the previous text.

3. Hypermedia

Hypermedia is the more complex version of hypertext. In hypertext there is a text that is linked and connected to another text, whereas in hypermedia not only text that is linked to, but also another media such as pictures, audio, video, film, etc.

4.  Multimedia

Based on http://interenships.about.com-od-interenshipquestions/g/whatis multimedia.htm Multimedia uses computers to present text, audio, video, animation, interactive features, and still images in various ways and combinations made possible through the advancement of technology.

In multimedia, we can use all those video, text, audio, picture, to be added in the websites to make an interesting website to be accessed.
