Bingung Pilih yang Mana, Bimbel Atau Les Privat?

Bingung Pilih yang Mana, Bimbel Atau Les Privat?

Menginjak tahun ajaran baru ini, tugas lain orang tua setelah mendapatkan sekolah adalah mendapatkan suplemen bimbingan belajar bagi anaknya. Dilihat dari materi pelajaran yang semakin sulit kebutuhan akan hal tersebut memang sangat diperlukan.  Tentu sebagai orang tua akan bingung memilih antara mendaftarkan anaknya di lembaga bimbingan belajar atau memberikan pendampingan dengan mendatangkan guru mengajar dirumah alias les privat.
6 TIPS MEMILIH BIMBEL YANG BAIK

Baik lembaga bimbingan belajar atau les privat memiliki kelebihan dan kelemahan masing - masing. Lembaga bimbingan misalnya, Kelebihannya adalah pembelajaran yang tersistem dengan tersedianya kelengkapan media atau sarana seperti modul, layanan, fasilitas dan juga suplemen informasi pendampingan belajar baik secara offline maupun online. Tentu saja, harga yang ditawarkan pun tidak sedikit, berjuta hingga berpuluh juta untuk sekali pembayaran dikeluarkan per-paketnya. Selain itu sistem klasikal kelas dalam bimbel yang sama dengan sistem di sekolah. Dalam sebuah lembaga bimbingan belajar, satu kelas bisa diisi oleh sepuluh atau bahkan sampai 20 siswa. Untuk anak- anak yang memiliki kecenderungan belajar memerlukan perhatian dan fokus, sangat tidak cocok diterapkan. Kecenderungan belajar anak- anak yang memerlukan perhatian tersebut sangat cocok dengan sistem belajar privat mendatangkan guru atau tentor privat kerumah.

Les privat lebih mengutamakan pelayanan yang bersifat eksklusif bagi para siswanya, mendatangkan guru ke rumah untuk memberikan tambahan jam pelajaran. Les privat memberikan sistem waktu yang fleksibel, tentor yang bisa dipilih sesuai dengan kompetensinya, serta biaya yang sangat terjangkau. Sangat cocok bagi anak yang memerlukan konsentrasi dalam belajar, tidak terganggu dengan siswa lainnya dalam sebuah kelas. Arus informasi belajar yang mengalir pun lebih baik dibandingkan dengan lembaga bimbingan belajar. Les privat mengedepankan sistem two ways communication  antara siswa dengan tentornya yang memungkinkan siswa untuk bisa berkonsultasi secara langsung tentang kesulitan yang mereka hadapi tanpa rasa canggung. Siswa akan lebih memiliki rasa percaya diri untuk mengungkapkan kesulitan- kesulitan dalam pelajaran yang dihadapi. Adapun kelemahan dari sistem privat pun relatif terjadi, seperti  layanan informasi dan kelengkapan media pembelajaran seperti modul plus sumber daya yaitu tentor yang mungkin kurang terseleksi. 

Pada intinya, memilih lembaga bimbingan pun mesti selektif, dengan mengedepankan keabsahan dari lembaga nya sendiri. Pilihlah lembaga yang mengutamakan kualitas dibandingkan hanya kuantitas semata karena saat ini sebagian besar dari menjamurnya lembaga bimbingan belajar hanya untuk kepentingan bisnis saja. Demikian juga ketika memilih guru pada les privat, pilihlah yang memang benar- benar kompeten sesuai dengan keahliannya dengan penyampaian materi yang bagus plus komunikasi yang baik.

Itulah beberapa kelebihan dan kelemahan lembaga bimbingan belajar dibandingkan dengan les privat. Masih bingung menentukan pilihan, bimbel atau les privat? Nah, bagi anda yang tinggal di Semarang dan sekitarnya, yang sedang mencari les privat sebagai pilihan untuk putra putrinya, bisa buka website berikut ini, www.horisonprivatecourse.web.id,

According to data obtained from radioactive dating, the oldest rocks found on earth re approximately 500 million to 4 billion years old. Sumilar ages have been determined for meteorites and the rocks gathered from the moon's surface. different methods of arriving at the earth's age generate very similar results. Modern theories about the formation, development, and eventual burning out of stars suggest that the sun is about 5 billion years old. experts contend that the earth and the sun were formed at almost the same time from a cloud of dust and gas resulting ffrom a cosmic explosion. The present rate of expansion of the galaxies can be extrapolated to suggest that, if the universe began with " a ig bang" about 15 billion years ago, an age of 5 billion years for both the earth and the sun can be considered plausible.
Long before radioactive dating was implemented, mythology and oral narratives alluded to a conjecture that the earth was nearly 6,000 years old. The methods of computation based on the analysis of genealogical trees in scant archeological findings provide evidence that can be difficult to date accurately. Today, radioactive dating of particles and whole ojects has rejected this figure of the earth's age as unreliable.

Memanfaatkan Google Drawings dalam Pembelajaran

Memanfaatkan Google Drawings dalam Pembelajaran

Saat ini kita mengenal Google Drawings sebagai software untuk membuat diagram berbasis web  yang dikembangkan oleh Google. Google Drawing memungkinkan penggunanya berkolaborasi dan bekerja bersama secara real time dalam membuat diagram alur, bagan organisasi, gambar rangka situs web, peta pikiran, peta konsep, dan jenis diagram lainnya. Dalam bidang pendidikan kita juga bisa memanfaatkan web tool ini sebagai alat untuk membantu kita khususnya dalam membuat desain visual pembelajaran seperti infografik, poster, diagram, bagan organisasi dan sebagainya. Berbagai kemudahan ditawarkan oleh web tool ini termasuk fitur integrasi dengan Google Drive serta dapat bersifat offline saat kita pasang sebagai add on di Google Chrome.

Nah, bagaimana proses serta langkah- langkah untuk memulainya, simak ya stepnya sampai selesai...

Buka Google Drive, klik menu button "Baru", lalu pada submenu "Lainnya" pilih sub menu Google Gambar.

Maka akan muncul tampilan Google Drawing dalam tab tersendiri. Buat judul project anda, misalnya saja disini saya buat judul "Coba". Dari sinilah bisa kita olah desain kita berdasarkan apa yang dibutuhkan dalam fiturnya.

Pada menu sisipan misalna bisa kita sisipkan  baik gambar, kotak teks, tabel, diagram, word art, dan sebagainya.

Saat sudah selesai, kita bisa membagikannya ke orang lain melalui email, atau menyimpannya dengan format yang bermacam macam baik JPEG, PNG, PDF dan lainnya. Hanya dengan klik menu File pada bagian kiri atas.
