Sekolah Literasi Nasional

 Rabu, 8 September 2021

Salam Literasi !

Pada hari Minggu tanggal 15 Agustus 2021 penulis mengikuti sosialisasi Guru Motivator Literasi 2021 yang diadakan Forum Menulis Indonesia. Pemateri menyampaikan ketentuan seleksi Guru Motivator Literasi Nasional 2021 yaitu menulis sebuah artikel tentang upaya meningkatkan proses dan hasil belajar. Penulis merasa senang diantara para peserta GML lainnya karena saatnya pengalaman menerapkan metode pengajaran di masa pandemik diuji dalam sebuah event nasional. Penulis menyusun sebuah artikel berjudul Efektifitas Gamifikasi untuk Meningkatkan Hasil belajar pada Materi Thanking and Apologizing. Naskah penulis bisa dilihat di laman ini. Klik di sini. Adapun video gamifikasi dapat dilihat di bawah ini.

Satu minggu kemudian setelah panitia berjibaku mengoreksi 6000 lebih naskah kemudian panitia menyaring 2500 naskah dan panitia menyaring kembali menjadi 1000 naskah terbaik dan dinobatkan menjadi Guru Motivator Literasi 2021.  Penulis bersyukur Alhamdulillahirobilalamin dapat menjadi bagian 1000 Guru Motivator Literasi 2021 karena bisa membuka jalan meningkatkan kemampuan literasi.

Pada tanggal 4-5 September Forum Menulis Indonesia mengadakan  Training of Coach bagi 1000 Guru Motivator Literasi 2021, penulis mengikuti rangkain training yaitu Challenge menulis tentang sebuah kegelisahan di media sosial untuk membiasakan menulis setiap hari dimulai dari kegelisahan sehingga bisa menemukan cara keluar dari kegelisahan. Cerita kegelisahan penulis sehingga bisa menjadi pemacu semangat untuk terus berkarya dapat dilihat di laman facebook ini.

Sekolah Literasi Nasional merupakan gagasan akhir dari program yang digagas Forum Menulis Indonesia memiliki 3 sub program yaitu:
  1. Wisata Literasi Siswa, minimal 50 siswa menulis satu puisi atau pantun.
  2. Wisata Literasi Guru, yaitu minimal 10 guru menulis sinopsis dengan tema Pengalaman           Menerapkan  Metode Pengajaran di Masa Pandemik 
  3. Wisata Literasi Kepala Sekolah, yaitu bapak ibu Kepala Sekolah menulis artikel upaya mewujudkan visi sekolah. 
Semua tulisan tersebut akan dicetak menjadi sebuah buku anthologi yang akan dinilai secara nasional dan para pemenang akan berhak mengikuti Wisata Literasi Nasional.

Bukan semata-mata mempunyai tujuan menjadi pemenang dalam sebuah perhelatan nasional namun dalam bulan bahasa tahun ini penulis dengan mengucapkan Bismillahirohmanirrohim kiranya momentum sangat tepat untuk mewujudkan Wisata Literasi Siswa, Wisata Literasi Guru dan Wisata Literasi Kepala Sekolah untuk menuju Sekolah Literasi Nasional. 

Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut, sebagai solusi terakhir jika sekolah penulis di SMP Negeri 42 Semarang belum dapat memujudkan Sekolah Literasi Nasional penulis membuat flyer tentang pelatihan bapak ibu guru  se-Indonesia bagaimana cara menulis sinopsis pada tanggal 13 s/d 16 September 2021 pukul 19.00 s/d 20.30 WIB via Group Whatsapp. Fliyer pelatihan dapat dilihat dibawah ini.

Penulis percaya jika ingin pergi cepat kita bisa pergi sendiri jika ingin pergi jauh kita harus pergi Bersama. WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER. Ungkapan tersebut membuat penulis yakin untuk mewujudkan Sekolah Literasi Nasional kita memerlukan kebersamaan siswa, guru dan Kepala Sekolah. Untuk memudahkan pemahaman dan penyusunan karya puisi atau pantun, sinopsis dan artikel maka penulis membuat sebuah website. Website Sekolah Literasi dapat dilihat dilaman ini. Klik disini.

Akhirnya, penulis berharap tulisan ini dapat memberikan semangat untuk terus berkarya di negeri ini sehingga literasi Indoenesia semakin baik, penulis juga menunggu saran dan kritik membangun karena tulisan ini masih jauh dari sempurna.#menulissemuabisa

Literacy is a skillset.

 

Sumber photo dari dokumen pribadi


Saturday,August 12th, 2021

According to Elizabeth Sulzby"1986", Literacy is a skillset of reading, listening, writing and speaking. By doing so, parents can talk their children can talk.  I am sure when parents speak some words their children will hear and keep in their mind. Parents should speak English, it will be heard by the children then they hear and use as language everyday. See more proven at this video below or Klik here



Literacy's aim is to analyse information to make a right decision in live. One thing is very important people always read the information well, they will use as their decision. Reading is product of skill, after lots of readings, lots of listening, lots of writing people can speak with confident. Why? First, they have many information from other books, magazines,newspaper etc. More ever they know when they use the information, last they can compare one information to other information. 

As closing that literacy can start reading,listening as receptive skill then everyone can produce it as speaking and writing. For instance speaking skill is skill and it need to practice it every day.

Hello everyone. The writer is going to tell all about the language improvement course for Indonesia which held by Teflin,British Council and https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ I learnt about how to speak English well and how to teach to my students.

Language courses are needed for Indonesia's teacher cause they have to know how to develop them as well as well in online teaching and offline one. Many ways and strategies to be self development such as we had guided by tutors using whatssapp and zoom in the website  https://trainingfoundry.co.uk/courses/teflin-language-improvement-course/.


Teaching strategy need a model from many resources and tutors. Here are some techniques of teaching for instance First, let our students remember last topic using error mistake, analyse sentences right and wrong etc. Second, the tutors gave us objective of learning, Third, They divide our class into groups. Additionally, we discussed to find the solution and they explain the feed back. Finally the tutors remind us next materials. See more information at e-module language improvement course Unit 1-2.

It is very benefit for teachers because they could learn more about how to develop their self and how to teach well.

Thursday,August10, 2021

Hi, everyone.

Many tools are available on teaching and learning. Many students has given asynchronous  using Google Classroom. I have been teaching English during pandemic not only asynchronous but also synchronous like using live streaming and google meet.

At the beginning I have ever fail in teaching using live streaming but I tried again and again. Finally I am success in delivering my lesson. They were very funny cause I also repeat and review last topic before starting new material. For instance what topic did you learn? Do you still remember last topic? etc.


Closing

I teach my students using synchronous and asynchronous cause many assignments are available at GC but synchronous as media to review last material. By doing this students can present their most difficult material. I and students are enjoying this online teaching and learning.

Teachers are not the center of learning and teaching. He or She is the one of resource. Students can explore others.

Students are the center of education. They can choose what they want to learn.

The writer is used to teaching using whatssapp. It can delevery the lesson smooth. 

First of all, teacher gives opening section. It contents how do you feel today?Do you remember topic last day? etc.

Second, students observe the dialogue about greeting and leave taking. They study about content and the contex and make questions based on the text.

Third, Teachers and students explore and check those questions then they give the feed back.

Additionally,the teachers also explain the social function of the text, structure of the text and feature language.

Right Reserved of Literacy Coaching is proven that each activity has to be legal. I learnt more about LC cause it has many truly useful. I learn how to read as well as possible certain text.

Dokumen Whatssapp Group
Sunday, May 2nd 2021.

I had joint the webinar which tittle how to teach English Pronunciation. Prof. Issy told us that the most important thing to teach English Pronunciation is the sound more than alphabet. The teacher should teach English so the learners listen the sound, later on the learners will have vocabulary enough. I'm sure the learners are able to speak English. She also taught us about how to pronunciation using Limerick. See more detail here.https://www.slideshare.net/paulakz/cutting-edge-advanced-module-2-limericks?next_slideshow=1. I'm interested in teaching English pronunciation through Jazz Chants because it's practical way more than theory. I can learn it my self using YouTube. 


Finally I am sure teaching English pronunciation fun and joyful because using song and other ways.

May it can contribute to our celebration of Education day. See more others article at my blog https://aminthediary.blogspot.com/

This morning I and my family had gone to Marina beach at six o'clock a.m. I though that we need to have traveling not far from house. We took picture together they are my wife is in center of the pose, right side is my second daughter, left side is my first daughter and the girl stand in front of them is Alfa my last daughter. After taking the picture, we decided to ride ship around Marina beach. We were on it about 15 minutes. The view is so beautiful in the morning. The sun sines brightly but when we arrived at the edge, the sun was not shine brightly because the cloudy was so heavy. 

We rode the kids train around the beach about 10 minutes. We saw some house that lived by people but others are empty. The house are shorter than the way. The way is higher cause it becomes beach belt so the water could be flood around the houses.

We arrived at the parking train, We went home at ten o'clock a.m in the morning but we had Soto Surabaya for breakfast. We haven't felt happy like that. Although the traveling was not far from house but we were refresh our interaction and relationship in my lovely small family. See you soon on the next traveling.

My 2021 Resolution

 


Kamis, 11 Maret 2021

Perkataan Syeh Kodri seorang ilmuwan dari Timur Tengah mengatakan " Setiap masa memerlukan tuntutan-tuntutannya dan setiap masa memerlukan sumberdaya manusianya." 


Gambar diatas mengingatkan saya ketika menyusun skripsi S1, saya mengetik di komputer dengan fasilitas yang sederhana hanya cukup Ms. Word, Excel dan lain sebagainya. Alhamdulillah dengan keterbatasan saya menyelesaikan S1 IKIP PGRI tahun 2001. 

Saya mengajar Bahasa Inggris di SDN Tlogosari Wetan 01. Saya mengajar dengan laptop yang sederhana. Pada tahun 2008 saya mengikuti kegiatan pembuatan media pembelajaran interaktif dengan laptop. Meskipun belum mendapatkan juara namun banyak pengalaman yang saya dapatkan. Salah satu media yang saya buat waktu itu yaitu power point. Setiap hari saya mengajarakan bahasa Inggris dengan menampilkan materi dengan LCD misalnya materi komputer. Bisa dilihat disini Media Pembelajaran

Pada saat pandemi sangat penting sekali membuat media pembelajaran berbasis video. Berbagai platform edit videopun saling menawarkan kelebihannya masing-masing. Saya mencoba mengedit video media pembelajaran dengan salah satu merk dengan bantuan komputer yang memiliki spec di bawah ini:

Sumber System Komputer Penulis


Dengan komputer yang memiliki kapasitas prosessor Intel(R) @ Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400@3.00GHz 2.99 GHz. RAM 6,00 GB saya dapat mengedit beberapa video yang telah diupload di Youtube yaitu :

  3. https://youtu.be/SfiI7v2-_fw
  4. https://youtu.be/K8jNvYX_gC8
  5. https://youtu.be/r53ViQcB8cQ


Saya berharap dengan kecanggihan Komputer ASUS UX371 dapat lebih mewarnai dalam penyusunan pembalajaran jarak jauh karena komputer masa kini memiliki tampilan berbeda karena memang berbeda. Dengan solid-state drive(SSD) dan teknologi terkini, Anda mendapatkan kecepatan,keamanan,ketahanan dan desain yang cantik

PC modern juga dilengkapi dengan pena digital yang memiliki banyak manfaat. Sentuhan khas tercipta saat Anda membuat sketsa atau coretan pada dokumen dengan pena digital.Penelitian juga menemukan adanya peningkatan kinerja 38% pada pelajar ketika merak menggunakan pena digital untuk mengerjakan soal-soal sains.

Demikian sedikit tulisan saya bisa mengungkap kemajuan komputer ZenBook Flip S  UX371. Terima kasih atas perhatianya. Selamat malam!

Self Study

Sumber Photo dari Dokumen Pribadi



Tuesday, March 9th , 2021


Teachers and Educators try to find out the language during a pandemic.They want to apply it to their students as well as possible. They have always learnt about many kinds of online teaching and learning. I am Amin Wibowo. I’m an English teacher at Semarang 42 junior high school. I’m used to applying online teaching and learning before pandemic hit Indonesia and over the world in December, 2019. At the beginning, I used Kahoot, quizzes, Google Form to monitor student’s understanding. I can assist my students using online accurately. I got easy to assist them, there were class engagements, individual's report and analysis of the average of those questions which  students got average, intermediate or advanced. Beside that, I always use online cause avoid waste of paper and cultivate the environment. I have special experience at my school related to online teaching and learning platforms.

Actually, the team has made a decision on a certain platform. Microsoft office teams 365 is the one that they use around our school. However, there are many weaknesses to cover all the material of online teaching and learning. I tried to present on January, Friday8th, 2021 about Google Classroom platform. Unpredictable, all teachers used it so far.

In March, 2019 teachers and educators in Indonesia were shocked because they should change the plan face to face into online teaching. They must learn many ways to teach online. They have been old, they are forgetting about the instruction of the platform, they don’t know how to use it, and many reasons are difficult to teach through online.

Most teachers use platform such Quizizz, Kahoot, Menti.com, Padlet, Slidego.com, Ms. Teams 365, Google Classroom, Ruang Guru, Rumah Belajar. etc. Each platform has advantages and disadvantages especially from the using, the pricing , the quota, etc. They have joined a formal course but are not getting the result. Many courses have offered promotion prices but no one course can persuade people to join that course. I have tried to practice English using social media such as English 101.com, Interactive English.The next challenges are that on average 775 students are bored in online teaching and learning. It’s because the teachers don’t use a variety of ways of teaching online, they don’t engage their students in teaching and learning. Most teachers and educators teach them one way to release the assignment without engaging them. 

They don’t have techniques on how to motivate students using icebreaking to teach, aperseption, how to teach fun learning. One day, I got the information of registration for the TEFLIN Language Improvement Language Course in December, 2019. The course will start in January  and the end March 2021. I’ve gotten the email from TEFLIN. I got a username and password to join the online course. I am very happy when I learn about the English language using online training. There are many lessons I learnt about online teaching. The online course provide the platform contains Unit 0. It contains an Introduction to the online training course, Your whatsapp community, Technical Supporting. TEFLIN Language Improvement Course  begins Unit 0: Introduction to the course. The first page written “Welcome to the course. “ “This first introduction unit is very short, it will only take an hour or so to complete. In this unit we will not start studying English” He or she asks questions related to the last material then next the same until the last unit.

Unit 1 Talking about yourself and others. It contains 11 topics such as Prepare for the unit, Greeting Learners and starting lesson, Talking about our Daily Activities etc. There are 8 units starting at unit 0 the end at unit 8. I’m interested in learning using an online course platform cause there are materials and there are many instructors. Each group has two instructors. It develops online teaching using grouping. There are schedules between asynchronous and synchronous. The first week the trainee learns about unit 0 till unit 2 the every Tuesday  the instructor's guide through zoom. I’ve experienced this here, the teacher supports the students, He/She uses Whatsapp and zoom to interact with each other. The trainee can repeat and go ahead depending on the speed and the trainee’s competency. It's a very adaptive curriculum, based in the student centre.TEFLIN Language Improvement Course has been designed to be as easy as possible. It designs  four language skills: Listening; Speaking; Reading and Writing. 

Listening skill  is the first emphasis to learn a language like mother repeat to speak up “mother” every time so the child will always hear the next step he or she can listen to the word” mother” well and perfectly. Language is repetition and exercise every time and every day. The goal is to introduce ourselves to each other using Whats-app, make sure we know how to use the website and also to think about the best ways to study online effectively. You can see the objectives below. You can start the unit by clicking the first topic at the bottom of the page - Your Whats-app community.I have gotten online teaching and learning’s inspiration during a pandemic. It shows us that online training contains materials that completely helps the students to improve English language skills.  I tried to design it into my own online training for my students. It related their materials and levelshttps://amin-s-school-4ff5.thinkific.com/enrollments is my trial online teaching and learning more completely. It can be connected to Google Classroom. It provides all the material in one semester. I combined google slide, google docs,  google meet, google site one platform. Some students tried to access the online training based on the schedules. After they learnt the materials, I also joined the Google Meet. For this, I guide them using the Whats-app community. They can share their presentation or record there and the others respond to each other. I can appreciate them using it. It’s still a powerful media.Teachers and educators don’t  not give enough assignments but also teach and learn more importance because the educators or the teachers pay attention to the process of learning. Teachers can not be replaced by the technology but the technology on their educators will be transformed. https://amin-s-school-4ff5.thinkific.com/enrollments is one of my projects to collaborate with each other to be accountable and develop our capacity. I collected all knowledge, skill, and experience. I got many online seminars to become one project. It is a very useful teacher and educator in online teaching and learning so far. Students feel free to enjoy the platform during pandemic. 

As guardians will accept this platform to encourage students in improving English language skills.I don’t need to prepare the material every week in online teaching but It has covered all materials one semester. I just correct and check the small quiz, the assignment, the material. I always make it perfectly on display. It’s also suitable with the Assessment Competency Minimum which has many kinds of questions such checkbox, multiple choice, drag and put the sentence, short answer etc.I have also used collaboration with other platforms such as quiz, Kahoot, Google Form, Google Slide, Google Site,Google Docs. It will be saved in google drive on our computer. 

The students are very happy because there are many easy to operate on their mobile phone or computers.I hope students pay attention to the platform and they learn all happily. No hesitation to study and to learn English language improvement courses related to the contextual language. I designed the material based on my own profile, situation,habit and culture. The contents also contain students' live skills and start at the easier material from the difficult one.I will improve our English skill language using an online teaching and learning platform as a Learning Management system.

Kesabaran Tanpa Batas



Photo diambil dari Dokument Pribadi


Senin, 8 Maret 2021

Alloh SWT berfirman dalam suroh Albaqoroh ayat 153 yang berbunyi  Ya ayuhallazinaamanustainu bishobri wa sholaah  inna Allahamaashobirin. Yang artinya Wahai orang-orang yang beriman mintalah kalian dengan sabar dan sholat, sesungguhnya orang yang sabar berserta Alloh SWT. 

Adapun keterangaan firman Alloh tersebut menunjukkan bahwa :
1. Alloh perintah kita supaya meminta atau berdoa.
2. Alloh menunjukkan cara meminta dengan sabar dan sholat


Dari 2 kesimpulan diatas saya membuktikan bahwa berawal pada hari minggu tanggal 14 Februari 2021 saya mendapat pesan dari salah satu tim Aisei's writing challence bahwa saya mendapat bingkisan. Tim meminta alamat lengkap saya. Saya menulis alamat lengkap Jalan Syuhada Raya RT 1 RW 02 Kelurahan Tlogosari  Wetan Kecamatan Pedurungan Kode Pos 50196 Semarang. Saya dingatkan isteri 3 minggu kemudian tentang bingkisan tersebut. Saya jawab coba nanti saya tanyakan namun dalam hati kecil saya tunggu kalau rejeki tidak kemana. Ternyata hari ini Senin 8 Maret 2021 ada paket sampai di rumah dan dibuka Alfa anak saya yang ketiga," paket apa ini ayah?" Saya jawab" paket dari Aisei,"  karena menulis di Aisei'writing challenge. 




Hikmah sebuah kesabaran tanpa batas akan datang apa yang kita minta tanpa harus mamatok waktu. Semoga kita selalu sabar dalam menghadapi kehidupan dan janji Allah SWT adalah benar bahwa orang sabar akan mendapat tempat yang mulia di sisi Alloh. Aamiin. Terima kasih Aisei atas apresiasinya. Semoga tetap maju menjadi pelita dalam kehidupan Bapak Ibu semua.

Untuk dapat mengekspresikan perasaan dengan baik, remaja diberi pengertian bagaimana mengidentifikasi pikiran dan perasaan. Pikiran bisa diungkapkan dengan kalimat sedangkan perasaan dapat diungkapkan dengan kata. Misalnya saya berpikir peristiwa disekolah tadi pagi..... ( beripikir) membuat saya merasa....( Perasaan). Supaya kita bertindak lebih baik maka kita sarankan para remaja untuk berpikir dan merasakan sesuatu dengan baik karena pikiran mencerminkan persaan untuk melakukkan sebuah tindakan. Jika para remaja lebih bisa merubah pikiran-pikiran mereka yang lebih baik maka akan timbul perasaan yang positif dan tindakan yang lebih baik.

Jika para remaja bisa merasakan yang dialami orang lain pasti mereka akan lebih berhati-hati dalam menjaga pikiran, perkataan dan tindakan. Para remaja akan bisa saling berinteraksi dengan sehat.  Namun bila sebaliknya para remaja tidak bisa merasakan persasaan pihak lain maka dalam berpikir dan bertindak kurang baik dan akhirnya muncul tindakan saling menghormati, tidak toleran, tidak menyayangi dan lain sebagainya.

Terakhir cara mengunkapkan perasaan dengan mengelola stress melalui cara berpikir kritis. Dengan berpikir ilmiah berdasarkan fakta, informasi dan data yang dimiliki remaja akan berikir lebih objective karena apa yang dilakukan melalui berpikir kritis.

Mengenal diri sendiri


                                                            Sumber gambar: dari proses twibbonize

Sabtu, 6 Maret 2021.

Pada tahun 2030 Indonesia akan diperkirakan terjadi bonus demografi artinya masa produktif akan mencapai 68 - 70 % adalah para remaja. Bila masa remaja tidak ditangani dengan baik akan menjadi masalah yang akan datang.

Pada usia remaja merupakan usia yang sangat memerlukan pendampingan, baik oleh orang tua, guru atau orang dewasa yang ada di sekitarnya. Alasan mengapa usia remaja sangat penting dalam pendidikan keterampilan hidup, yaitu :
1. Remaja masih dalam masa mencari identitas diri
2. Remaja mudah melihat seseorang untuk menjadi idola
3. Remaja sering kurang percaya diri.
Hal diatas beberapa alasan yang mereka mengalami sehingga pendampingan orangtua dan guru sangat diperlukan untuk memberikan arahan dan petunjuk sehingga mereka melewati  masa remaja dengan baik.

Ada banyak cara untuk memberi arahan bagi remaja bagaimana mereka mengenal diri,tetapi sebelum mengarahkan cara mengenal diri sebaiknya siswa diajak bermain dalam memberi semangat melalui relaksasi atau permainan misalnya permainan zip zap zum. Cara mainnya dalam lingkaran kecil bayangkan mereka memiliki arus listrik yang bisa saling menyalurkan dengan cara jika salah satu remaja menunjuk kekiri mengatakan zip jika menunjuk kekanan mengatakan zap dan jika menunjuk keseberang mengatakan zum. Remaja yang ditunjuk ragu-ragu atau diam tidak bisa menunjuk kembali maka remaja tersebut diminta memperkenalkan diri dan seterusnya. Materi Mengenal Diri Sendiri bisa melalui video dibawah ini.



Mari kita  belajar dan berbagi dalam kegiatan Keterampilan Hidup supaya tujuan Indonesia Emas pada tahun 2045 terwujud.Dimulai dari diri kita sebagai orangtua yang masih memiliki anak perempuan atau laki-laki, saatnya kita memberi pendampingan dengan peran sebagai sahabat sehingga bisa sebagai tempat untuk berbagi cerita dan pengalaman yang menarik. Hal itu merupakan pintu masuk memberikan pengertian mengenal diri sendiri, misalnya tidak perlu meniru orang lain dari hal berdandan, berbicara, berpenampilan dan lain-lain namun kita berikan bagaimana sebaiknya mengenal diri sehingga bisa meningkatkan percaya diri misalnya pikiran dan hati kita cukup untuk membuat diri kita percaya diri karena setiap manusia memiliki kemampuan berpikir dan bercermin pada dirinya sendiri untuk melangkah lebih baik.

Demikian perkenalan sebagai salah satu materi Pendidikan Keterampilan Hidup. Untuk mengetahui lebih dalam bisa melihat di laman ini Buku Guru PKH Versi 2020

How to find out the problems? and so on. See more learning and teaching at 1st Cycle.

The aspect of online teaching and learning that lets us down is less interactive. The write could present the next topic. It was about ask and give describing of people. The materials taught by zoom meeting. Students were happy because the writer combine asynchronous and synchronous  like whats app group. They were fun and enjoy the activity while the writer asked question they replied fast. See more activity at  2nd Cycle.
