I think it is interesting to know the history of it before we understand more about the role of technology in education...

Oke... Let see the video about the history of technology in education here...

10 Ways to Encourage Students to Take Responsibility for Their Learning

1. Don’t make all the decisions

Allow choice. Encourage students to make decisions about how they learn best. Create opportunities for them to pursue their own interests and practise skills in a variety of ways.  Cater for different learning styles. Don’t expect everyone to respond in the same way. Integrate technology to encourage creative expression of learning.

2. Don’t play guess what’s in my head

Ask open-ended question, with plenty of possible answers which lead to further questions.   Acknowledge all responses equally. Use Thinking Routines to provide a framework for students to engage with new learning by making connections, thinking critically and exploring possibilities.

3. Talk less

Minimise standing out front and talking at them.  Don’t have rows of learners facing the front of the class.  Arrange the seats so that students can communicate, think together, share ideas and construct meaning by discussing and collaborating. Every exchange doesn’t need to go through the teacher or get the teacher’s approval, encourage students to respond directly to each other.

8 Ways Technology Is Improving Education

The Education Tech Series is supported by Dell The Power To Do More, where you'll find perspectives, trends and stories that inspire Dell to create technology solutions that work harder for its customers so they can do and achieve more.

Don Knezek, the CEO of the International Society for Technology in Education, compares education without technology to the medical profession without technology.

“If in 1970 you had knee surgery, you got a huge scar,” he says. “Now, if you have knee surgery you have two little dots.”

Technology is helping teachers to expand beyond linear, text-based learning and to engage students who learn best in other ways. Its role in schools has evolved from a contained “computer class” into a versatile learning tool that could change how we demonstrate concepts, assign projects and assess progress.

Despite these opportunities, adoption of technology by schools is still anything but ubiquitous. Knezek says that U.S. schools are still asking if they should incorporate more technology, while other countries are asking how. But in the following eight areas, technology has shown its potential for improving education.

Dale's Cone of Experience

As a quick glance at the B-SLIM model will indicate, there is a great variety of activities and learning experiences the teacher uses in the language classroom. Each of these activities or experiences is a chance for the students to learn new information and/or practice what they already know. Each activity and experience has merit and therefore should be incorporated into any second language program. In the following section we will look at Dale’s Cone of Experience and see how the information contained within this model can be used to structure a second language program so that all types of learning experiences are used to maximize student progress.

POTENSI BERBUAH PRESTASI

Setelah membaca judul di atas, sobat pasti beropini kaya’ gini nih “ya jelas aja bisa berprestasi, kan ada potensi”. Hmm... untuk kali ini opini sobat sama  sekali nggak salah, tapi nggak bener2 amat sih alias kurang tepat. Mau tau yang tepat itu seperti apa??? Oke... kali ini saya akan mencoba mengajak sobat untuk sedikit menganalisa apa2 saja yang ada di sekitar kita, atau lebih tepatnya yang sangat dekat dengan kehidupan kita.

Langsung aja kali ya....

Gini sobat, sobat percaya nggak kalau setiap manusia itu memiliki potensi alias kemampuan masing2??? Saya harap sih sobat pada percaya kalau setiap manusia itu punya potensi masing2... nggak peduli siapa dia, anaknya siapa, status sosial yang seperti apa, atau bahkan kekurangan apa yang dimiliki (kalau nggak percaya monggo di tanya sama mbah google ^_^).

Galau, Jadi Kacau Balau?!?

GALAU. ya... kata itu pasti udah nggak asing lagi kan di telinga sobat sekalian??? Atau bahkan sobat justru salah satu trendsetter kata itu??? Hmm... emang sih kata “galau” lagi naik daun saat ini... kata itu bahkan mengalahkan kata “sesuatu” nya jeng Syahrini. Tapi apa sih sebenarnya arti dari kata yang “so familiar” itu....

Sobat tau nggak nih??? Atau Cuma ikut-ikutan doang??? Tapi kaya’nya udah pada tau lah ya??? Abisnya di mana-mana adaaaaaa aja si “galau” itu. Di facebook, twitter, sekolah, rumah, sms, atau bahkan di mimpi juga adaaaaa aja ketemu sama si “galau” itu. Nggak bosan apa ya dengar nama si “galau”. Kalo aja si “galau” itu manusia mungkin udah masuk rekor MURI sebagai nama yang paling sering disebut kali ya??? Heheheh.... (oops... bisa-bisa ada yang berencana ngasih nama anaknya “galau” nih biar masuk rekor MURI... xixixixi)
