Utilization of Learning Media

 The lack of adequate technology in every school and learning in every region in Indonesia is a challenge for the government to build education that is more equitable in all regions. In the East Nusa Tenggara area, the use of learning media is very lacking; only elite schools in urban areas can apply technology-based learning.

The following is the use of media in learning English: 

1. Learning Using Audio Media

 We can see that education in Indonesia is uneven due to inadequate technology, but there are certain schools that use audio learning to teach English in the classroom. One example is the teacher giving a reading text that contains a missing word so that to fill it in, students have to listen carefully to the audio that is played to get the answer.

 In addition, to train students' listening in English, the teacher plays a song and of course songs in English. Then, whatever words the students hear should be written down. At the end, the teacher listens to the same song again and begins to correct whether the words that were heard and written are appropriate or not.

2. Learning Using Audiovisual Media

 Learning English with audiovisual media in NTT There are several schools that implement English learning using audiovisual media. For example, if the teacher does not enter the classroom, the teacher will provide a learning video explaining a material, and at the end of the video, the teacher will give an assignment. The assignment will be collected offline at the next meeting.

Advantages and Disadvantages

 When viewed from the perspective of the application of learning using audio and audiovisual media, there are advantages and disadvantages.

1. Advantages

 Learning in the form of audio and audio visual media has the advantage of being able to increase student motivation in learning. Learning with audio, as previously described, can stimulate student learning motivation because they feel challenged when working on the questions given or when listening to songs.

 Learning with audiovisual media, where interesting videos can make students more enthusiastic about learning and increase student learning motivation. 

2. Disadvantages

 Learning media in the form of audio will make it difficult for students to hear when the native speakers speak faster.

 The use of audiovisual media in learning English also has its drawbacks, namely that students do not understand well if they only watch videos that are exposed for a few minutes because the material that will be presented is definitely shorter and will not be discussed freely.

Audio-visual Learning Media

 Problems and Problem Solving in the Application of Audiovisual Learning

In today's modern era, there are many advances in various fields, especially in the field of education. The learning process that takes place today is very different from the past when viewed in terms of facilities, ways of learning in the classroom, and the use of learning media. In the past, the facilities in each school were very limited, and the use of learning media only relied on books as a learning resource. Meanwhile, every school currently has adequate facilities, and the learning media used are not only books but many technology-based learning media.

In the learning process, teachers not only use books as a medium for learning but, with the development of technology, can take advantage of the learning and teaching processes in the classroom. With existing technology, learning media can be used in the forms of audio, visual, and audio-visual. Audio-visual learning applied in the learning process is a very interesting learning medium so that students are not saturated in learning, are able to increase their activity in learning, and more easily understand the material being taught.

Judging from the use of learning media in the form of audio-visual, many schools apply it, but not all schools can implement it, especially for schools in remote areas whose schools do not have complete facilities and limited networks. This is a problem in implementing the learning process using audio-visual learning media.

From this problem, it can be seen that there is a need for equitable development in the field of education. This must be emphasized to the government, which must pay close attention to the situation of schools in remote areas in order to provide adequate facilities and network connectivity. If this is fulfilled, teachers are able to apply learning methods using audiovisual.

Making Video Learning Media

Definition

Learning media is a tool used to support the learning and teaching process.

Benefits of learning media:

1. The teaching and learning process is more interesting
2. Lessons are more interactive
3. Does not overcome information limitations
4. Students are able to understand abstract material
5. Increase student learning motivation. 

Types of learning media

There are several types of learning media including:

• audio media
• Visual media
• Audio-visual media

How to make learning media in the form of video (audio visual)

There are many ways to make learning media in the form of audio-visual using applications such as Canva, Kalhoot, Kine Master and CapCut or others that can be designed using a mobile phone.

The following are the steps for making video learning media using CapCut

1. Prepare materials such as Parts of body
2. Record a video explaining the "parts of body" material as usual using a cellphone
3. Enter the recorded video into capcut, and add an overlay in the form of an image or explanation of the material.
4. Edit as desired to make the video more interesting.
5. After editing, check again and if it fits the next step is to save video.

Those are some simple ways to make audio-visual learning media.

How to Create Audio Learning Media

 

Learning media is something that can be used to convey messages so that it can stimulate students' feelings, thoughts, willpower, and attention and encourage the learning process. There are various kinds and types of learning media, one of which is learning media in the form of audio.

COMPUTER APPLICATION IN EDUCATION

 Creating Effective PowerPoints (For Teaching)

PowerPoints for Teaching

• Using PowerPoint both teaching tools and study guides c the nature and amount of information presented.
• Use “notes” to keep PowerPoints clean and uncluttered.
• PowerPoints as teaching aids to facilitate discussion, class time management, and groupwork.
• PowerPoints have a psychological component — students feel that PowerPoint's are important and are more likely to take notes.

 

Student Engagement

• One of the challenges of PowerPoint as an instructional delivery system is that it can be a very passive learning environment.
• What strategies have you used to make your PowerPoints more engaging and encourage active learning?

 

Small Classes	Large Classes
Class discussions with questions embedded in PowerPoint material.	Use of clickers, twitter feed, or other technology can aid in engagement.
Group work (even short, 5 minutes discussion in pairs) portions.	Short discussions among students with 3-4 groups reporting back (or all groups reporting to forum)
The “think → pair share "strategy works strategy works (demonstrate a point, have them free write, have them pair, and discuss)	Good delivery helps (more later on this)!

 

Writing a Good PowerPoint

§  Use Bullet points to increase scan ability and readability.

§  Avoid too large blocks of text; create concise language (my favorite method for learning concise language is here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/635/01/)

§  Keep one idea to one slide rather than trying to cram (or add more slides for dense information)

§  Use parallel language (using the same verb tense at the beginning of each point, like in this slide)

§  Provide clear references for source material used (this helps students see the connections

Designing a Good PowerPoint

• Keep information straightforward.
• Include graphics and visuals, like “smart art” graphics, but don’t go overboard.
• Consider other multimedia elements, such as embedded short video clips, audio, etc.
• Break up large portions of lecture with activities, free writes, checks for understanding, short group work, discussions, etc.

 

Tricks and Tips: Smart Art in PPT

• “Smart Art” allows for visualization of lists, relationships, cycles, and more.
• Found under “Smart Art.” Very useful displaying information and relationships.

 

Tricks and Tips: Embedding Pictures & Video

• Microsoft’s Instructions for Embedding Photos/Clip Art: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/insert-a-picture-or-clip-art-HA010079409.aspx
• Microsoft’s Instructions for Embedding Video: http://office.microsoft.com/enus/powerpoint-help/insert-video-into-your-presentation-RZ102673174.aspx
• If you want to embed a YouTube video, the easiest way to do so is to either link to it or download it and embed directly. I prefer to link to the videos.
• Note that some versions of PPT (such as Office 2011 for Mac, the version I’m running, do not allow you to insert videos from the web.) You just have to link to them.

 

Tricks and Tips: Basic Design Principles, cont.

• Alignment = Everything should look well placed, everything is connected with an “invisible line” (e.g., bullet points on top of each other)
• Contrast = Difference, make elements that need to be different (through font choice, formatting, offsetting text, etc.)

 

Tips and Tricks: Basic Design Principles, cont.

• Repetition = Repetition is about unity, consistency, and creating cohesiveness (three slides with the same design and similar content)
• Proximity = where things are placed in relationship to one another; where does your eye move? What is the path it takes?
• *Information taken from Williams (2008) Non- Designer’s Design Book

 

Organizing PowerPoints

1. Slide 1: Title
2. Slide 2: Overview - Provide students with a roadmap of where you are going.
3. For longer PowerPoints, provide SIGNPOSTS (slides that say, this is where we’ve been and here’s where we are going next)
4.  Use notes area to supplement material-dense slides.
5. Use text formatting and graphics to draw attention.

 

Organization with Emphasis on Student Engagement (5o min class)

1. Introduction/Overview of what we will cover (1-2 min)
2. Short free write + class discussion of what students already know/prior experience (5-10 min)
3. Presentation of material (10-20 min) includes 2-3 open-ended qoestion for students to break up presentation.
4. group work on material to help solidify concepts (15 min) and final discussion or free write (15 min)

 

Delivery of a PowerPoint

• Part of an effective PowerPoint is how its delivered/presented in a classroom
• Students prefer faculty who are engaged and interested in the material (through enthusiasm in voice, engagement with subject, interesting stories)
• Students also want to see clear connections to future careers and real life (this is a good activity to do with students at the beginning or end of a class session)

Online Delivery of PPT

• PowerPoint does allow you to record a side show, which can be useful for flipped classes, online courses, or polar vortex snow days.
• You need a microphone (or use your computer’s built in mic) for recording.
• You can find the tools to record under Slide Show → Presenter Tools

 

Alternatives to PowerPoint

• Prezi (www.prezi.com)
• Haiku Deck (iPad/webapp) –
• Softmaker Presentations (Android App) – Allows you to edit and open PPTS on Android.
