Welcome to My World

I am very happy to know that I will learn Technology and Language Learning (TLL) in this semester. In my mind, I think i will learn about Technology and apply it in the teaching learning process.

At the first course, what I think about this course and what the lecturer said about the purpose of learning this course is same. I said to my self that I am right… but I have plus additional… I can know more about the kind of technology is…Information that relate with technology… and etc

In the first section, Mr. Iwan presented (hopefully, the lecturer is Mr. Iwan, so it’s not bored ) the kind of technology such as gadgets (Ipad, Iphone, Handycam, and etc) and social networking (facebook, twitter, moodle, yahoo messenger, skype, and etc). Honest, I didn’t know about the some of the technology that be shown by Mr. Iwan, like what is podcast, moodle? but it makes me interest about this lesson.

Also, now I know about the Digital Native and Digital Immigrant. There are part of technology information that is something new for me. Me, who born after 80s, is called digital native because i born with the technology surround me. It’s true, because in my childhood there were Cellphone, Nintendo, Sega, and others technology that exist and I think it make me comfortable enough. I know to use it well and learn it easily. But if I compare with my parents, they impressed timid to use those technology. Even my father knew to use Cell phone when i was Senior High School. So contrast with me… Mr. Iwan said that They are called Digital Immigrants… reverse of Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants born before 80s era..hmm… sounds interesting to me.

Oh… Even chalks and blackboards or ‘Batu Tulis’ can be called some part of technology because at that era it is something new that  make the teaching learning process proceed easily.

If I was a teacher, I will use technology in teaching learning process without forget the traditional methods (it depends on situation and condition right?) If I can combine it well and it can make the teaching learning process fun and effective… why not…  but I think i have to pass the process first so it can be realize.

Last but not least… I am as a teacher generation have to creatively apply ICT to enhance language classroom interaction..

Cheers

Dear Jaya,
I just want to discuss about your statement "Even chalks and blackboards or ‘Batu Tulis’ can be called some part of technology". This is just a little discuss perhaps, Yes I also never think that tools of your statement as the Technology, because I always imagine that every time I hear "The Technology", I always consider that it is something that has power of electricity and I always guess it as computer. However My imagination was wrong. Mmmm..my question is about pencil or boook, can we call it the technology????

Jay, I looked an honesty when I read your posting. It seems natural.

Replying Nellis' comment, I think pencil and book also belong to technology because technology is any tool that can facilitate our life, right?

Please correct me if I'm false. :-)
