Technology has impacted the learning approaches with an
aim to improve the standards of teaching and learning process. The present
study focuses on teachers’ preferences and use of technology in their
classrooms. Therefore, teachers nowadays must be able to implement effective
integration of technology to provide students with more interesting and
engaging learning activities.

One of materials delivered by SEAMOLEC trainers in this
workshop was about interactive PowerPoint. Too often, presentations are thought
of as one-way communications; the teacher delivers presentation and the
students’ role is to listen attentively. In this workshop participants learned
about feature in PowerPoint where teachers can create interactive quiz in their
presentation files. Another material in this workshop was Whiteboard Animation,
where participants learned to create animated video starting from developing
storyboard, identifying assets, and making the video product.
The Principal of MAN 2 Mataram, Mr. H Lalu Syauki in the
opening ceremony mentioned that participants of this workshop will be the
trainers to share the knowledge gained to other teachers within Mataram City.
Considering the importance of technology for teachers, Mr. Syauki proposed to
SEAMOLEC to have another follow up training programmes with other materials for
bigger audience within the province in the future time.
Ms. Asri Hidayati, a
teacher from MAN 2 Mataram was surprised, she just found out from this workshop
that PowerPoint software has various hidden functions to be applied in learning
material. Mr. Iwan Fahmirudin, a teacher of Madrasah Alam Sayang Ibu, Mataram
expressed his gratefulness to SEAMOLEC trainers for sharing the technology
regarding interactive learning media development. He believes that the
knowledge will be useful for all participants, and he wished to be able to
participate if MAN 2 Mataram would conduct a follow up programme.
