            Technology is so important nowadays. Technology was not always digital things like computer, laptop, cell phone and etc. technology used not only for commercial or daily life. Technology can be used for learning. There are a lot of school or college that used technology for their learning..When I observed on SMAN 61 Jakarta, there are some technology that used in the school. The technology in the school was very useful. The school use ICT based-learning to taught the students. Most of teachers used the technology for their tools to teach in class. The teacher maximize the technology which available in the school and almost every lesson the teachers used the technology ton their students.

            In learning activity, my tutor teacher used LCD projector and Power Point to deliver the material to the class. In class, she's not only used digital technology such as computer, LCD and others digital technology but also, teacher used usual technology such as text book and flip charts to deliver the material.

            The students also use ICT for their independent learning, many of them have laptop to study in the class or independent. They also used their mobile phone and went to library or laboratory to search information about their course. When I observed there in classroom, teacher teach and deliver the material to the students by using power point and text book. So the students felt enjoy and they didn't feel bored to follow the class. Teacher make the class became more effective because she use combination between the power point presentation for share the material and text book assignment session. When I taught in the class, I also used some technology to share my lesson to the students. Me and my group taught them by using computer and text book as the tools that we use to teach. It's made us easily to deliver the content or material.

            But, some of it can't work well. Sometimes I found difficulties to use it because of technical problem. Over all, the use of technology in the school who I had observed was very useful whether it used by the teacher of the student and it can be effective if we can use and applicate it to our students someday. It's inspired me and it also give me some tips how to be a creative teacher.
