Teachnology-Internet Media PART 2



A.    Discussion

There are a large number of online tools that can be used for second/foreign language learning and teaching (Chapelle & Jamieson, 2008; Garrett, 2009; Godwin-Jones, 2009, 2010; Levy, 2009; Meskill & Anthony, 2010; Warschauer, 2010). Internet-based language instruction (IBLI) can be defined as language teaching conducted on the Internet using Internet tools and resources (Son, 2004).
According to Son (2001), the online tools are classified into twelve categories based on their main functions and features: learning/content management systems; communication; live and virtual worlds; social networking and bookmarking; blogs and wikis; presentation; resource sharing; Website creation; Web exercise creation; Web search engines; dictionaries and concordancers; and utilities. Mindomo included utilities that can be useful for language learning activities, especially for writing. It’s free access, just need log in with our own email.



This media can be used by teacher and also students. Look at the below picture! There are some functions for teacher and students and almost having differences between teacher and students’ features. Teacher needs to demonstrate this media to all students. Some class time (or special sessions in a computer lab) may be needed to teach the students how to use the software effectively. The important one, teacher must make sure that the students have to log in as a student’s account.


Mindomo is used in writing term for students in Senior High School, although it can be used for other necessary but in my paper, I just focus of Mindomo’s using in writing term. After introducing this media, teacher will give writing assignment for students, to make a text and use this media to make a brainstorming. They might choose essay planning and writing feature to conduct this assignment.


Mindomom also provides explanations about learning with mind maping, how to make it and why is it used. With using this media, learning and teaching is easier primerly for students, that can stuck or lose idea when they write a text. This media train students to open minded while they’re writing. In this picture below, students must to choose what kind of their writing, clic at templates column for this example writer chooses Literature & Writing. Then choosing story map. The materials that can teachers provide such as recount text, narrative, procedure, descriptive and other texts.




Look how the media will guide its user! First of course we must state the title. Like wee see at the second picture below, the map has state the term for each column. At the begining, there are column for character, setting and their parts such as personality, time, location and season.


  

 At the middle and closing, the map have state about challenge, motivation, obstacles, climax, outcomes and their parts. It’s very helping and useful for student in learning, they just put their own idea in every column. This assignment do outside school time and students do individually. With using this media students not only can improve writing skill, also having knowledge about technology especially for internet base.

A.    Conclusion
After finding the aims of this study, the writer hope it can be useful for teacher and also students. This media can improve learning-teaching activities more effective, get conducting internet learning-teaching base. With using Mindomo, students can develop their writing skill and the writer hope for all teacher can use this media because indirectly teacher has give knowledge about technology-internet.
