My School Experience in The Third Semester
In the observation and teaching assistance activity in the third semester, I was chosen to do this activity in SMA IT NURUL FIKRI Depok. It was an integrated Islamic high school, they separated the class between male and female class. The school facilitates the students to the technology. They had a computer laboratory, science laboratory, E-learning laboratory, and also internet connection. Unfortunately, I did not observe the E- learning laboratory usage in the classroom because they did not use it at that time, eventhough E-learning sounds so interesting for meJ.
I used to observe the XB class, it was a female students class. The teacher used the technology to make activity in the class. When I came to the class, they were studying about procedure text and the students were doing presentation as their project task in group. Their task was making a TV show about cooking, so they would act as TV presenter who invites the master chef as their guest. Their presentation would be a cooking demonstration about a food in the class. The technologies being used in the activity were Gas stove, frying pan, and spatula. If you are thinking that technology is always related to computer then you will be totally wrong. The terminology of technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life society, and the environment, drawing upon such subject as industrial arts, engineering, applied science and pure science.
The usage of technology in the class was very effective to support the learning situation. This activity aimed to assess students speaking skill, by cooking demonstration they were situated in a real condition of speak formally in front of the class. I thought this kind of approach was really appropriate to teach about procedure text to the class. First, the activity was interesting and they can perform their work to the class as well without underpressure and stress making of memorizing activity. Second, the example of procedure text is recipe. This activity tried to put the recipe to the real way through cooking demonstration.
This school already had a good facilitation in technology, if I were the principal of this school my duty for the future was keeping the technology property which already exists and doing improvement continuously as the technology progress was going so fast. The most important thing was maximize the usage of technology itself, so that the tools would not be as a handicraft which hanging on the wall and nice to look. I would hire teachers who were capable to use technology on their teaching, made the technology as an interesting media for learning and made it interactive for the students. The teacher training is also needed to enrich teacher skills to use knowledge because a teacher also needs to learn continuously. Finally, I conclude that as technology is growing so fast every day and schools have to be very sensitive for this issue. Technology is not only for simplify our work but it also as tools for students to learn how to create their masterpiece work in this modern era.

you told that you taught in male female class ya ?
how about the male class ?
did you find the difficulties ??
I really curios with that problem :)
because when we teach in mix class also it will be different right ??
what do you think kiss ??
bebeh,, don't u remember that i accompanied you to teach in the male class?
we used to work in a team teaching, right?
in female class, the condition is better than in the male one. the class can be handled easily and they are more respect to us. so, the material can be delivered appropriately. when teaching in female class we cannot running on the duration as it written on the lesson plan. some time we can move faster because the female class already prepare before they study in the class so that we have to plan many strategies before we teach as they also prepare the knowledge before enter the class.
what about your comment when you were teaching in male class, i heard that they are very hyperactive?
oya ..... of course I still remember about that one ..
that was so excited and hyperactive ..
dizziness @the first time ...
but after that I felt so enjoyable and I do love them all ..
because I found so many unique characteristics ..
but kiss, how if we teach in the mix class ??
of course it will be different ya ??
i think we'll also plan another strategy if we teach in the combined class :)

In your writing, i know that learning in that school is related to the real context.
Do you think that cooking demonstration is effective to be applied? (consider about time because they also have to bring the equipments for cooking)
