Classroom Management

Classroom management is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lesson run well despite the problem occur during the process. It includes the learning process up to the assessment. There are several tools to help teachers, such as: lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, etc. Internet as source of learn provide allow teachers to make them online with so many web-based tools. Here are some that I think would work best in my class in the future. 

In managing a classroom,  a lesson plan is definitely a must. Be it online or physical. By lesson plan, teachers manage what material is going to be taught, how to conduct the activity, and the way to assess students understanding. It doesn’t necessarily for teacher to give the copies of lesson plan for students. Just for an anticipation if the plan wont work as it is expected to be. But, for an alternative teachers hand over the copies for SAP (Satuan Acara Perkuliahan). So, students will know whole materials for the course and get to study before class to give them a brief overview of what would be taught. Another significant tool is gradebook. As for the application, engrade.com is best. It allows teachers to record grades and attendance , schedule assignments and build classroom materials like : lessons , quizzes , and flashcards. It also allows teacher to create and share wikis , lessons , flashcards , and online quizzes. With this function, teacher can create online quiz and let them know their grade at the same time. Quiz is usually given in some occasion like twice per semester, etc. Using this application, Students can know their grade in which they are good or bad at certain materials and let them estimate the grade needed to pass the course. 

 The last thing best use for classroom is worksheet creature. Teacher can make dozen of tasks for the material given. Worksheet is very useful for daily assignment or material. It is very common task to give in the classroom. After having to answer the worksheet, teacher can ask them to have peer feedback to correct the answer. The least, teacher also can create a group to facilitate sharing between students and teachers for some problems about the material. So far, I’ve experienced with facebook and twitter group. After having a discussion in group, we can brought up the topic in the classroom if it’s necessary. At last, to sum it up, my choice are lesson plan, gradebook, and miscellaneous.
