Educational Blog

Today, Technology is always around us. It is felt closely enough and much needed for helping our easier life. In many case, we always use technology. For instance, in educational activity using technology is happening in many schools and university. Both in teaching and learning process or the assessment, it is often use technology. For instance, computer, I think it is one of technologies which is a must and much needed for every school. Because it is very help our activity in teaching and learning process, such as we are helped in making report faster than manually, making more interesting presentation when transferring knowledge to students and others examples. Moreover, now there is the internet that also facilitates us to search any information that we want to know. Besides that, it is often help us to communicate easier than before through email, social networking and others. Internet also allows us to do teaching and learning process without being at the same place.

By using internet, we can access any program that is provided for us to make the online learning. Blog which is part of web 2.0 is the example. Blog can be used to communicate in online learning. Sharing any information, transferring knowledge, giving instruction, assessing students’ task and others activity that can be done through blog. Using blog as educational media can make the interesting learning process. As a teacher candidate, we should be creative in providing teaching activity so that we are getting easier to engage students in learning process. We know that students that we will face later are the sophisticated technology students, but we should consider that they also have to do bodily activity which allows their body to grow. Moreover there are some students whose intelligence is bodily kinesthetic, so that they are easier to learn when they do the activity which include their body. Hence, we can ask students to do the outdoor activity although the instructions are given through blog. I think the better learning environment is not only using technology in the process but the best one is when we can use technology optimally and also being sensitive that students also should develop their social skills and bodily skills.
