Maybe glogster isn't familiar than facebook, twitter or other sites.Glogster is a social network that allows users to create free interactive posters, or glogs. The glog, short for graphical blog, is an interactive multimedia image. But glogster is one of sites that have a lot of interesting thing. by glogster we can make our own poster for fun or for education as I made. In my TLL class we use glogster for web 2.0 project. we use it for making assessment or doing some teching-learning activities via online. But, it's a bit difficult if the student couldn't understand how to use glogster and applied it in learning. So, glogster is the alternative source for us to give information about English but we should to understand it first.
This post about my experience in my senior high school that I'd observe 3 days ago. I observed about the tecnology that used for learning. When I observed, I found some modern technology is more than what I saw and experienced before.
When I learnt there 4 years ago, the school only provides less of computer unit and there're no internet access to support our learning. The teacher also taught by using traditional technologies such as text book, white-board, and so on. But different from 3-4 years ago, now my school used ICT to teaching-learning activity in school. The school provides some computer untis with internet access to support their students learning and the teacher taught their student by ICT based learning (sometimes). When I asked question to some students who school in SMAN1Ciomas, they mostly said that it's easier when they learn by using something different and new for them than they learning-that's all. They need some difference style of learning and used some modern technology.
But my school had not been able to facilitate the language laboratory for English and Bahasa course because of cost limitation. I just can hope that my school can provides the language laboratory to improve their Eb\nglish skills. Thank you

You don't have to go to educational sites to "blow" up your English skill but you can found it by chatting, watching videos, listen to music online or if want you can also visit the online dictionary site.

Handphone or Mobile phone is so popular today. almost people from all circles use mobile phone for their daily activity from young people to old people use it. The use of mobile phone it self is so predigious. Starts from SMS (Short Message Service), to communicate, browsing internet, mobile games and for learning.
Mobile phone can use for learning, this evidenced by many students use mobile phone in school. Students said that it's easier when they use mobile phone to share their assessment from teacher by calling or SMS. Besides SMS to share assessment and assignment from teacher, student can also use mobile internet to browse the sites based from education or download mobile application for their learning. The most usable site that student use is Google and Wikipedia. from Google and Wikipedia, they can search some resources to complete their assessment in school. And mobile dictionary is application that students download. By using mobile dictionary, they feel easier and don't have to bother to bring manual dictionary in English course.
But, the weakness of using mobile phone for learning is when the mobile internet are not connected, student can't do anything to solve the problem, and sometimes students use mobile phone besides learning (read: Facebook, SMS their girl/boyfriend) in classroom.
