BalasHapusHello, Mr. Rudi. I am Ike Aprilianingsih (2201413159), one of your students in undergraduate program in State University of Semarang, especially in ICT class.
The first part of series 2 (2.1) webinar entitled "Making Learning Fun" delivers by Amy Rich.
She explained about the interactive activities to build the student motivation and engagement in the classroom. She explained that motivation is a force or influence that causes someone to do something. The higher the student motivation, so the higher the student engagement in the classroom. A students who are motivated to learn will have higher achievement, better understand concepts, more satisfied in with school and it will less the drop out students.
There are two kinds of motivations:
1. Intrinsic motivation: the natural curiosity and desire to learn that we are all born with.
2. Extrinsic motivation: performing a behavior/engaging in an activity to receive an external reward.
She gave also the tips for teacher to motivate the students in the classroom: First tips is create a healthy learning environment. Second, figure out what our students are into. Third, incorporate our student interest into our lessons. The last tips is engage the students in the learning process. The teacher can also motivate the students through the use of technology and games such as online newspaper hunt, video interview, jeopardy game, questions Jenga etc.
Thank you for sharing, Sir.

After watching video of American English Webinar Series 2.1 entitled "Making Learning Fun: Interactive Activities to Build Student Motivation and Engagement in Your Classroom" presented by Amy Rich, I think if it is such a very useful knowledge for all teachers to make learning fun in the classroom.
