With Jane Ross, I presented a workshop and a spotlight in the Apple Leading Innovation Summit in Singapore. This posting will not tell you stories but the pictures will. Enjoy!

Hi! I would like to share my experience using an app called Green Screen By Do Ink. It is a powerful app to share your learning. How easy is it? It is very easy! My second grader can use the app easily. How does it look? It look pretty well as it takes best resolution of your iPad camera. How doest it work? It works by layering your photos or videos with the background photos or videos that you have in your photo library. You can use the app directly or you can use your iPad camera then work the background layering later on in the app. I recommend this app for all educators to cover your students' presentation, reflection or even to tell stories. Anyway, this app opens up you to learn in authentic and distinctive ways with you students! Happy green screening! Hugo Indratno Breaking News!
Just want to share with you all - wherever you are - I just got an email from ADE (Apple Distinguished Educator) Program from Apple. My application to be ADE member is accepted! I'm officially joined ADE 2015. I will attend ADE Institute 2015 in Singapore 2-7 August. It's definitely a WOW moment! blessing, Hugo Indratno Hi!
It's been a while. I just want to inform you shortly that I have my four books published on iTunes Store. They are: Capture It!(Photography Book), 85-89 (Indonesian Novel - it is NOT available anymore. It is printed now HERE), Water (Inquiry Based Learning) and Joshua Is Late (A Bilingual Story Book). Hope you like them. Oh one more thing, all books are not available within iTunes Indonesia. Therefore, to get one, you need to switch store when you log in. It is easier, if you follow the links below. Why? because you will be given a way to go to iBooks Store launcher. Then, you will be asked if you want to change store since the books you are looking for are not available in iTunes Indonesia Store. Of course, you need to have Apple ID :) Hugo Indratno Here are the links! https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/capture-it!/id920301752?ls=1&mt=11 https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/85-89/id705071586?mt=11 (It is NOT available anymore) https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/water/id921910297?mt=11 https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/joshua-is-late/id929667269?mt=11 https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/whats-for-lunch/id960964464?mt=11 Hai!
Kali ini saya menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia untuk menyapa semua pembaca blog ini khususnya kalian yang berada di Indonesia. Dalam perkembangan teknologi yang begitu pesat, beberapa hal yang dahulu hanya bisa kita lakukan lewat personal computer (PC), atau laptop, sekarang telah bisa kita lakukan melalui tablet seperti iPad. Salah satunya adalah menulis blog. Blog yang saya tulis kali ini menggunakan satu aplikasi yang bernama Blogsy yang ter-install di iPad. Saya dan siswa-siswi di sekolah mulai menulis blog menggunakan iPad. Namun blog siswa-siswi tidak saya cantumkan di sini untuk menjaga privasi mereka. Anda semua sudah bisa kok menikmati hasilnya melalui tulisan saya ini. Teknologi seperti ini memang masih dirasakan mahal bagi banyak dari kita warga negara Indonesia. Namun demikian, saya yakin apabila satu hari nanti semuanya akan dimungkinkan baik oleh situasi maupun oleh keinginan masing-masing individu. Semoga hal itu bisa segera menjadi nyata. Saya sertakan satu gambar yang saya ambil menggunakan kamera terintegrasi di iPad di tulisan ini. Semoga hari Anda semua penuh dengan inspirasi dan Anda menjadi inspirasi juga bagi orang lain. Salam! Hugo Indratno Hi there! This time, I made my second stop motion movie using Stop Motion within my iPad. I do hope you enjoy it! cheers, Hugo Indratno Hi! I just had my "little" project while waiting for a short meeting. I have Stop Motion app in my iPad, then an idea comes. Using Stop Motion, I took about 114 pictures to make this movie running in 8 frame per second. What is Stop Motion? It is an app that you can download through Apple Apps Store. I forgot how much I bought mine. It might be around $5. Anyway, enjoy the movie entitled "Pertemuan" or in English we say "Encounter". cheers, Hugo Indratno Enhance Your Trackpad
Some people using MacBook might not know that they can modify the trackpad. How can I modify my MacBook trackpad? 1. On the top left corner of your MacBook monitor, you will see symbol. Click the symbol and.. 2. You will find "System Preferences", click it. 3. Then you will have a dialog box, find trackpad. Once you find it, click the icon. 4. Now, you are ready to change and maximize your trackpad function. Check the box named "tap to click" and other boxes that you think will make your life easier. Now, you do not need to push your trackpad to click. All you need to do is to tap a little. You have saved some energy :) Here are some pictures to help you try the steps. "Where is Jakarta?"
That's the first question that I asked to Siri. Who or What is Siri? According to Apple website, Siri is the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done, just by asking. Talk to Siri as you would to a person: Ask “Do I need an umbrella?” or “Did the Giants win last night?” or “What time is the barbecue on Sunday?” Siri not only understands what you say, but also it knows what you mean. It figures out the right apps to use to find the right answer. Then, just like a personal assistant, Siri provides you with the information you need. Here is the link Learn more about Siri (source: http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/) Beberapa postingan terakhir adalah usaha saya untuk "cuci gudang". Seperti postingan ini, adalah sebuah flashback untuk beberapa hal yang saya lakukan dengan siswa-siswi sekolah dasar berkenaan dengan teknologi. Berkaitan dengan teknologi, beberapa tahun yang lalu saya memperkenalkan podcast kepada siswa-siswi. Banyak dari siswa-siswi sekarang mempunyai iPod untuk mendengarkan musik. Melihat sudut pandang itu, saya tahu bahwa podcast bisa diputar di iPod.
Mulailah saya dengan membuka laptop di depan siswa-siswi dan menunjukkan program Garage Band. Ya, laptop saya adalah sebuah Apple MacBook. Dengan program Garage Band, saya membimbing siswa-siswi untuk membuat sebuah tayangan podcast. Apa sih podcast itu? Saya mencoba mendefinisikannya secara sederhana menurut pemahaman saya. Menurut saya, podcast adalah sebuah presentasi dengan suara presenter lengkap dengan gambar presentasinya. Menariknya, podcast bisa diberi musik yang bisa menjadi "ilustrasi" dari presentasi tersebut. Apakah podcast harus dibuat dengan program Garage Band? Setahu saya, podcast bisa dibuat dengan program lain, namun karena saya menggunakan Apple MacBook, maka itulah program paling simple terutama untuk siswa-siswi. Oh ya, saya menggunakan podcast untuk pengajaran Bahasa Indonesia. Skill yang hendak dilatih adalah menulis, membaca dan presentasi tak langsung. Sekali dayung, dua tiga pulau terlampaui, bukan? Saya cantumkan dua contoh di bawah ini. Silahkan mendownloadnya dari link di akhir postingan ini. Selamat menikmati! salam, Hugo Indratno MieInstant Year6M.m4a SusuYear6.m4a |
