PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN INTERAKTIF BERBASIS WEBLOG BLOGGER PADA KOMPETENSI DASAR “MEMAHAMI FUNGSI RANGKAIAN RESISTOR DAN RANGKAIAN KELISTRIKAN” DI SMK NEGERI 2 PROBOLINGGO

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kelayakan media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger pada kompetensi dasar memahami fungsi rangkaian resistor dan rangkaian kelistrikan di SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo, dan mengetahui respon siswa SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo terhadap media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger pada kompetensi dasar memahami fungsi rangkaian resistor dan rangkaian kelistrikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) atau metode penelitian dan pengembangan yang telah dimodifikasi menjadi tujuh tahap, yakni tahap potensi dan masalah, pengumpulan data, desain produk, validasi desain, revisi desain, uji coba produk dan tahap analisis & pelaporan. Sasaran dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas X TEI 1 SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo. Untuk mengetahui kelayakan media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog dilakukan dengan validasi para ahli yakni dosen dan guru. Untuk mengetahui respon dari para siswa terhadap media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger dilakukan dengan memberikan angket pada siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil validasi pada media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger mendapatkan hasil rating sebesar 77,5%, dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger masuk ke dalam kategori layak digunakan. Hasil respon menunjukkan bahwa siswa kelas X Teknik Elektronika Industri 1 SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo menyatakan sangat setuju terhadap penggunaan media pembelajaran interaktif berbasis weblog blogger dengan hasil rating sebesar 82%. Kata kunci: pembelajaran interaktif, media, weblog blogger, resistor, rangkaian kelistrikan Abstract The purpose of this research was to knew the properness of interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger on basic competence understanding the function of resistor circuits and electronical circuits at SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo, and to know the responses of SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo student’s about interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger on basic competence undestanding the function of resistor circuits and electronical circuits. The research used Research and Development (R&D) methode that was modified into seven phases, namely the potential and problem, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product testing, and analysis & reporting phase. The targets of this research is Student of class X Industrial Electronic Engineering 1 SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo. To determine the properness of interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger done by validation experts that lectures and teachers. To determine the student response about interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger done by giving questionnaires to students. The result of research showed that interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger got the rate 77.5%, so interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger categorized as proper. The responses result showed that SMK Negeri 2 Probolinggo students stated strongly agree with using interactive learning media based-on weblog blogger with the rate 82%.

Culture or social interaction? A study of influential factors on weblog design

The importance of blogs and social networking as medium of interactions had gain substantial popularity in mainstream media. Such popularity is due to blogs timely publication, ease of use and wide availability. Blogs hypertext and hyperlinks spread information and influence through an underlying social network. Taking into consideration that past studies on web design have focused on cultural traits on design elements, this paper aims to analyse the patterns on blog design from the perspectives of social influence and interactions. Examining design patterns from five networks of blogs using content analysis method, the results show that design of blogs in an online network shares similar elements and the pattern is different from one network to the other

BlogForever: D3.1 Preservation Strategy Report

This report describes preservation planning approaches and strategies recommended by the BlogForever project as a core component of a weblog repository design. More specifically, we start by discussing why we would want to preserve weblogs in the first place and what it is exactly that we are trying to preserve. We further present a review of past and present work and highlight why current practices in web archiving do not address the needs of weblog preservation adequately. We make three distinctive contributions in this volume: a) we propose transferable practical workflows for applying a combination of established metadata and repository standards in developing a weblog repository, b) we provide an automated approach to identifying significant properties of weblog content that uses the notion of communities and how this affects previous strategies, c) we propose a sustainability plan that draws upon community knowledge through innovative repository design
