So many awesome apps out there we can use to engage students in learning process. We can use common apps such as facebook, twitter, or google plus. However, there are many others apps which are really useful to create interactive learning process. I won't write a lot in this post, so I will only write my own experience in using awesome apps in my learning processes.

I have used Edmodo in my learning at school, I also have used Facebook group, LINE group chat, and also Google Hangouts. Those apps are really easy and handy to use. Students and teachers only need gadget, such as laptop or smartphone, and good internet connection. Those apps are also simple so even elementary grade students can use them nowadays. I am actually one of many people who believe that using up-to-date and hi-tech technology can improve teaching-learning process and the efforts in achieving teaching-learning goals. So by engaging students in hi-tech learning process, students will feel comfortable and interested in learning.


However, we need to keep in mind that there are a lot of things to be paid attention to before using those apps in learning process. First, we need to have the ICT skill that we can operate the hi-tech gadget and apps. Second, the facilities should be ready to support hi-tech and internet-based teaching-learning process. The gadget, the good internet connection, and the apps must be checked first whether those things are ready to use or not. Third, the students' awareness in the importance and usefulness of technology in learning need to be built.






Creative, critical, and smart teachers must have a lot of interesting and interactive activities for the students' learning. These teachers also should be ready to make effective and efficient teaching-learning process in order to reach the learning goals. So as a teacher-to-be, we need to have many more knowledge, not only knowledge in our field but also knowledge in other, different field beyond our concerns.
