USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
MEDIA AS A LEARNING
When this computer is no longer a luxury item, this tool has been used in
various fields of work such as on education. At first
computers used in schools as a support for the smooth work area
administration by using the software Microsoft word, excel and access.
With the introduction of Information Technology and Communication materials in the new curriculum,
the role of computers as one of the main components of ICT has
a very important position as one of learning media.
Excerpts from the Curriculum for Information Technology and Subject
Communication
· Subjects Vision of Information Communication Technology is so that students can and
accustomed to using Information and Communication Technology tools appropriately
and optimized to obtain and process information in learning activities,
work, and other activities so that students are able to create, develop
imaginative attitudes, develop self-exploration capabilities, and easy
adapt to new developments in their environment
· Subjects Through Information and Communication Technology students can be expected
involved in rapid changes in life experience and the addition of
changes in the use of various information and communication technology products.
Students use Information and Communication Technology tools for searching,
explore, analyze, and exchange information efficiently and effectively.
Using Information and Communication Technology, students will be with
quickly get ideas and experiences from various walks of life. Increase
student ability because the use of Information and Communication Technology will
develop an attitude of initiative and ability to learn independently, so students
and consider themselves can decide when and where the use of
Information and communications technology appropriately and optimally, including what
implications of current and future.

· Technology Information and Communications Technology (ICT) includes two aspects, namely Technology
Information and Communication Technology. Information Technology, covering all matters
related to the processing, use as a tool, manipulation, and management
information. Communication technology is all things relating to the
the use of tools to process and transfer data from devices
one to another. Therefore, Information Technology and Communication Technology is
a counterpart of an integral containing the broad sense of
any activity related to the processing, manipulation, management, and
transfer / transfer of information between the media.
"By specifically, the purpose of studying Information and Communication Technology are:
1. Students will realize the potential of information technology development and
communication that is changing so that students can be motivated to
evaluate and study the Information Technology and Communication as
foundation for lifelong learning.
2. Motivating the students' ability to adapt and anticipate
development of Information and Communication Technology, so students can
implement and live everyday life activities
independently and
more confident.
3. Develop students' competency in using Information Technology
and Communications to support learning activities, work, and various
activities in everyday life.
4. Develop skills and Information Technology-based learning
Communication, so that the learning process can be optimized, interesting and
encourage students' skills in communicating, skilled at organizing
information, and accustomed to working.
5. Developing self-learning ability, initiative, innovative, creative and
responsible for the use of Information and Communication Technology
for learning, work, and solving everyday problems.

By looking at the contents of the curriculum, we need to integrate ICT in
teaching and learning process in the madrasas are not just for technology subjects and
information only.
Looking at the current condition of ICT and its development in the future, we must
prepare for and conduct planning in
implementing ICT in the madrasa. If we do not start now then
madrasas as one of the educational institutions other than schools that are under
MONE will be missed by other schools. If this happens, our efforts will be increasingly
hard to align the madrassas with other schools. On the one hand, we're
trying to catch up in subjects especially Mathematics and Language
England, on the other side of ICT will make us further and further behind.
Observing Program conducted ICT development for the National Education Ministry
To keep pace with the usage of ICT in schools from other countries, currently
Ministry of Education has programs in besarbesaran ICT development.
There are three
important positions in the Ministry of Education in ICT development program, namely:
1. The field of vocational education, ICT became one department at SMK. ICT Development
technically both hardware and software included in kurikum education.
Establishment of ICT centers throughout Indonesia. To connect sekolahsekolah
ICT center built around the WAN (Wireless Area Network) City.
2. Pustekkom, as one of the spearheads in developing TVs
interactive education, eLearning
and Esma.
This program aims to
education quality gap narrows between big city with
regions.
3. Item (the National Education Network), aims to integrate
The second program above in order to form a network connecting
all schools in Indonesia. Expected in the future so that all schools
in Indonesia to be connected to the Internet.
View held by the Ministry of Education program we can use these facilities
because it is open.

ICT development in Madrasah in Mandiri
We're not too late to prepare ourselves in the mastery of ICT as a medium
learning in the madrasa. From this moment on the madrassas and Islamic Majlis must
create an ICT development program overall.
There are several points to make a plan of development of ICT, including:
1. Uniting the vision and mission of the ICT development to be achieved between the Head
school, madrasah teachers and majlis.
2. Formation Technology Committee (Organisation Labkom) independent
3. Identify the infrastructure of institutions, both hardware, software and systems
and networks that already possessed
4. Determination of hardware and software to be used or developed.
5. Identify human resources
6. Determine the shape of the mastery of ICT training for both teachers and other staff.
7. The existence of a clear time schedule for achieving program
8. Determination of the necessary investments on a regular basis each year
9. Identify software development and new curriculum
10. Entered into a revised plan be adjusted to developments occur.
With careful planning, we can develop gradually in ICT
madrasas in order not lagging behind other schools. Haru made programs implemented
sustainable despite the turn of the head and majilis madrasa.
As the usage of ICT Instructional Media
ICT is not a stand-alone technology, but it is a combination of
hardware and software.Ada important things that must be considered in using
ICT as a medium of learning that is hardware and software that is available and the types of
learning method that will be used.
Some of the usage of ICT in learning including:
1. Presentation
Presentation is a long way already in use, by using
OHP or chart. Equipment used today typically use

a computer / laptop and LCD projector. There are several advantages if we
utilizing ICT among others, we can show animation and film,
so it looks more attractive and easier for students to
we are trying to capture the material. The most widely used software
for presentations is Microsoft PowerPoint.
There are several things that must be considered in making the presentation materials,
among others:
a. Not too many posts to be displayed.
b. Posts do not be too small because it must be seen by many students.
c. Expand insert images and animations
d. Try to form an interactive presentation.
2. Demonstration
Demonstrations are usually used to display an activity in front of
classes, such as experiments.
We can make a movie caracara
do an activity such as way
perform measurements with a micrometer is right or take part
important activity. So in this way can we direct the students to
proper conduct or draw conclusions from events
these.
Another way is to use the Internet media, we can show animation
associated with the material we teach (although not all
available). As an example to show the direction of vector cross multiplication
we can access the internet with the address

RightHandRule / RightHandRule.html
As shown in the figure below;

3. Virtual Experiment
The purpose of the experiment here is a virtual laboratory activities
moved in front of the computer. Children can do some experiments
virtual experiments using software such as Crocodile Clips.
This software can be downloaded at http://www.crocodileclips.

we must register first to get the active code that is valid for one
months. Views Crocodile clips as shown in the picture below.

This method can be used if we do not have a science laboratory
complete or used before performing the actual experiments.
4. Virtual classroom
The purpose here is a virtual classroom students web-based self-learning,
for example, using Moodle.
In this virtual classroom students will get the material, assignments and tests online.
We as teachers obtain facilities for examining and assessing tasks
students' exam results. Especially the results of the exam students will be assessed automatically.
