Internet and Education

article and Business
Beginning of from new millennium and reform promises hope to quicken development of education sector in Indonesia. Main key triggering to incidence [of] the new hope runs toward decentralization, management bases on school, and enableness of school and public to influence result ( outcomes) school, also unity of purpose of all education sectors.

Past has been formed effective and efficient communications system to propagate information to various all sectors among education. decentralization of Education will require new paradigm and role for administration of education. Principal components in this new role that is covering ; efficient monitoring, identification of requirement and places other human resource and resource to face its(the requirement. In general main problems of education based on its(the system, and now human resource potency is of all sector is not exploited fully. Many research and expansion started during this new transition ought to be aimed at expansion of system powered communications some education sectors to assist expansion and direction of education future in Indonesia.

Communications system

Important emphasis will maximize human resource is of all [by] sector, means we will require system a real effective communications. If we are response at requirement of initial focus ought to more based on acceptance? receiving of information than information spreading. This thing almost convert / change the role of if it is compared to the role of administration communications of education that is formerly.

Research about expansion of school clearly show one of way that is most effective for school which wish to grow self-supporting that is passing shares ( sharing) information and ideas. One of the biggest support for personal expansion and headmaster profession exploiting reconditioned process that is open communications and supports through headmaster routine forum. Pass forwarding of problem collectively is between friend in same job has yielded effective solution and can be realized.


Input (input) and contribution directly from the role players (stakeholders) other; student, old fellow and member of public also gives a real information assists and increases public support from for school expansion. If main objectivity was maximize education of human resource hence that thing has increased the relation of our communications with all education area sector and the role players (stakeholders). Moreover main key to increase communications must be focused at is each other share open chance and increases opportunity to get supports from all areas.

School responsibility in entering this new globalization era that is having to prepares student to face all challenges changing hardly quickly in our public. Ability to talk foreign language and deftness of computer is two criterions that are usually is asked public to enter employment either in Indonesia and also whole world. And only around 20-30 % high school graduate continuing to level of higher education, hence with existence of computer which reach has been all human life area that thing to require very responsibility height for education system we to develop ability is having language student and computer deftness ( sees part of Computer )


Along of existence of high priority to build computer facility is of all schools in Indonesia and existence of distance that is far enough between schools province in Indonesia, likely Internet good enough choice to develop interscholastic communications and education center that is can be done through the internet. Some schools have taken initiative to build their own facility. Based on step which there [are] this, and lets that thing to grow x'self that is remain to requirement consistency would of our student learning, hence Internet as strategy appropriate to be valid communications medium.

Internet in learning and teach

Information properties would now available in Internet has more reaching hope and even imagination from the inventors system which first. Internet initially created for requirement of system defense of military so that can be decentralized causing can lessen risk total broken, might possibly happened if central system of mainframe computer is annihilated.

Internet also can be decentralized and powered. By using internet we can access source of infinite information and is growing quickly once. We can communicate each or in mass which can be done where just is whole world only during a few seconds only. We can propagate (publish) information which able to in access where from just in the world in a short time once. We can communicate directly (real time) through telephone and video unit processing. We can do "chat" through free network "chat" a real wide that is mIRC.

To all internet teacher offers some opportunities to be reached for:

Professional Expansion

(a) Increases knowledge
(b) Shares source between friends as departmental
(c) Works along with teachers from outside country
(d) Opportunity to publish /tell directly
(e) Arranges communications regularly
(f) Join in forum with colleague either local and also international.

Source of material teach:

( a). Access learning plan to teach & new methodologies

( b). Raw material & material thus suited for all Lesson areas

( c). Announces and shares source. Hardly height of popularity / hardly height of enthusiasm to increase student is more focused [by] learning.

For student Internet offers opportunity for;

Self-taught quickly :

( a). Increases knowledge

( b). Learning interactive

( c). Develops ability in research area


Feathers nest :

( a). Increases communications with other student

( b). Increases the problems sensitivity would be whole world

Although Potency internet to submit the advantages to all teacher and also the students, usage of Internet in class shall must be compiled in such a manner with learning definition objectively. Activity of student also must be monitored carefully.

Why?

Like which has been told before all that Internet contains assorted of information and source of other information, though is in it is also consists in things that is of no use and pass the time causing bothers Lesson of student swimmingly. Though taking part in this activity outside hour clock student learning, might possibly can give advantage for knowledge they or develops other ability. Studying time in class must remain to focused at main Lesson. Effective teaching learning plan use Internet to will require some new abilities learned to be able to more streamlining is time.

One of a real potential advantage from Internet besides for the administrator and school importance, that is maybe is to facilitate collected of school data sheet in direct is sent its(the purpose either to individual and also to wide public.

Teacher, especially linguistic teacher and social science Lesson teacher, can take ( down-load) news and case is now which able to be applied as component of teaching in class on the same day at the time. All teachers can apply Internet good to personal expansion need and also professionally works along in region regional and also whole world.

Supply any kind of needed to bought?

Writer suggests as buying initial step one computer units with modem in it and CD ROM drive. And this computer must be placed in library space of school so that can be utilized by all staff and the students and must be observed its the usage by library officer. This library officer also must be trained on how to handles care and maintenance of computer routine. And they also is given special authority to arrange computer usage schedule by the way of system orders place.

Cost : Between Rp. 3.000.000,- Rp.5.000.000,follow rupiahs exchange rate.

If your school has had computer laboratory hence form of modem apart can be bought with price which is enough cheap to access Internet from laboratory, depends on request. Form of this separate modem also allocable for usage in department.

More than anything else required?

Surely of you requires Internet Service Provider ( ISP). This is conspecific of company providing service connecting the relation of to Internet through telephone channel. Writer suggests as initial step, be better if opens an account student until they know how much/many minute per month of which they require. Tries to enlist USER-NAME ( name of consumer ) relates to name of school anada, its(the example SMK3PALU, because this also serve the purpose of your e-mail address ( sees under ). There is list Internet Service Provider in this homepage guide.

Cost : Between Rp.50.000,- Rp.100.000,per month + Expense of light installation.

E-Mail Account

Usually ISP provides at least one account e-mail and this applies "user name" you, its(the example taken away from example to SMK3Palu@SulawesiNet. this Account can also is used for opening school.

E-Mail Account Student

Writer suggests that students is better if opens personal account e-mail in http://mail.yahoo.com, http://www.hotmail.com, or one of so much the free provider e-mail. account e-mail upper to be preferred from account service provider because they can be applied in permanent. And this also is idea which good for schools to have alternative e-mail address, if in a state of insisting on them to change service provider. I will suggest applies Yahoo.com because they to enable you for POP your letter, sends letter to other address ( forwarding), and or reads it from internet site they are where only ( more flexible).

Homepage and Name Of Domain

There is a lot of homepage free provider. Writer is sure that the existing best is http://www.crosswinds.net/ and http://www.geocities.com/ because service which they offer enough sensible sees part of way of making homepage).

" Domain Name" ( special address in Internet) not of vital importance aside from if(when you are organization looking for advantage or business. Except if(when your name domain keep in mind easy to like " Education.Net" hence its(the benefit not too important. If you make homepage in Crosswinds.Net hence you has address ( or URL) like htpp://www.croswinds.net/~SMK3Palu. If(when you visits homepage link in SLTA.Net or SLTP.Net hence you will meet many homepage school having location in free sites like this. Main advantage from this free sites is not worn expense of treatment and not any related ISP which you select; chooses .

Telephone and Modulation
Often if teacher or School owner asked " has had Internet?" The answer " Has not, modulation phoned overvalued"


Was, if your school can communicate with all schools in Indonesia, with Kanwil, Kandep, or telephonic Dikmenum during five minutes one day or less still feeling expensive?. For example, I am e-mail download from two provider Yahoo and Crosswinds) from many e-mail addresses which I had every morning and needs time less than five minutes (< 5 minute). How come so? I apply Post Office Protocol (POP) mail. All schools can use POP free mail like this provided in Mail.Yahoo.Com or WWW.Crosswinds.Net. Letters POP from its the host is direct to our browser e-mail. Then extension to Internet direct is killed.

Its letters is read [by] OFF-LINE (doesn't joint to Internet) and there is no its(the fare. This letters earns print or copied ( block and copy) to Word, Wordpad, or Notepad for in bringing to place of line ( through? via sketch).

But how if we will send letter or replies?

Same also:

1. Makes letter formerly in Word or Notepad or Wordpad.
2. Opened browser if uses Netscape ( click mail) or if uses Internet Explorer open Microsoft Outlook.
3. Open "New Message" in Netscape or " New" in Microsoft Outlook.
4. Fills e-mail address, subject, and letter its contents.
5. If letter multiple repeats step 3 & 4 until all letters have been made.
6. If it is completed has just jointed to Internet.
7. Click "As of neodymium" ( sends letter) in all each letters ( direct only).
8. If You uses Microsoft Outlook you also must click " Send/Receive" after his(its.
9. Bes awaiting until all letters have been sent ( usually quickly).
10. If in your Microsoft Outlook in automatic receives new letter also if is exist. If You uses Netscape is better check if there are new letter of Click " Get Msg".

Kills extension to Internet.


If You uses this system modulation of telephone will not expensive. So, every continued morning just only. During the time can send letters which have been provided daytime before all and receives new letter.

What with Searching the Internet?

Completely, if the students uses Internet in studying time, learned it must very experienced to apply time providently to yield good Lesson. Possibly Internet can be used in this way after teachers have been enough experienced. I have ever used Internet to teach but purpose of Lesson and activity of siswa/i is clear and monitored always.

To learn Internet also able to spend a lot of time and money if we didn't make system either from initially. My intention, than all the same information searching teachers and pass the time each, very important if(when we make information center about sites which relevant and is good. If it is there are information center learned only need to send e-mail to center and asks URL ( Universal of Resource Locator - its(the homepage address). So, only one mans who is looking ( more economical) and this information can be attached in yard " links information" in his(its central Website is so that if other teacher searched for information can check that formerly.

Matching with the one which has often is told, better all student in Indonesia earns experience is using computer and Internet. Mostly about Internet and way of making homepage for example we can teach with computer without joining to Internet. If we wish to make skill program of its(the cost computer can be boosted up as according to fare when student applies time in Internet ( sharing) in its(the program. Better of student earns introduce of just Internet in school and continuing ability x'self in Internet place. In many schools which has not had facility Internet its the students have been long enough used Internet and its(the experience is also many. Experience they can be applied to assist teacher or Librarian to learn about Internet. With this new technology is better if we are use of all abilities of SDM in school.


Conclusion:

If we wish to teach, we need to pay attention to main things that is its(the plan and strategy. Equal to Internet. If we wish to make economical and good communications system, and increases education of students in computer science matching with school fund, important of plan ( program) good, and best strategies as according to situation of its(the school. With principles so-called in " Gimmick Gets Fund" we can continuously does improvement quality of education in our school self-supporting.
