What's new today? "beach"

 

    Jadi hari ini for the first time setelah sekian lama aku ngerasain lagi air pantai, iyaa..sebenernya mau mastiin aja, Eh ternyata masih sama rasanya, tetep asin, wkk. Biasalah berenang sampe keminum air laut gara-gara ombak nya lagi gede banget, sampe di peluitin penjaga pantai, baru juga basah masa disuruh naik, kan seperti rugi gimana gitu, jadilah bermain-main dipinggir saja, sambil terombang-ambing kebawa ombak. feeling funny little bit, soalnya cuma main-main dipinggir, berasa balita aja kali mainan air sama pasir. But that's the fun part, i think udah lama banget gak ngerasa gitu. like yaudah sih have fun without mikirin orang mau ngomong apa. Mandi nya udah gelap btw jadi emang literally cuma tinggal beberapa aja yang mandi dipantai. 

    Terus beberapa hari sebelum itu kami (me, my roomate and my neighbor) ke pantai, rencana mau makan pentol goreng dan jajanan sejenisnya yang katanya my neighbor akoh ada banyak di pantai deket kost kami. Eh taunya pas nyampe, gak ada satupun yang jual jajan seperti yang kami dambakan hari itu. Jadilah cuma jalan-jalan sambil sunsetan aja, yang lagi oke banget soalnya matahari bersinar dengan indahnya. Dan lucky us ada yang main volly, berhubung aku suka volly (walaupun kalo main cuma seadanya) jadi antusias banget nontonnya, heboh tepuk tangan sambil nyorakain yang lagi main, tengsin sih temen aku sampe malu kayaknya, tapi aku tanya ke merka katanya mereka fine with it hahaa. saking senengnya ngumpulin keberanian buat join yg lagi pasing-pasing di pinggir lapangan. Sampe dua ronde yg main baru we berani join, seneng banget bisa megang dan main volly meskipun cuma bentaran doang, tapi lebih seneng lagi karna udah memberanikan diri buat ikutan join, secara mereka pada bule, bukan bule jawa ya, bule beneran, terus datanglah saya dengan tukkutukkutuk " excusme... hi, can i join?" and one of them said "sure" setelah ngasih bola nya satu kali, eh temen yang satu nya gak ikutan lagi. Karna aku? dunno. I don't wanna think like that, will ruin my happy feeling. so i continue main sampe mereka game terakhir, diatawarin join di game beneran, aku bilang "sorry , i'm not that good" i don't know, keluar aja gitu dari mulut aku, abis itu nyesel sih, kenapa ngomong gitu, kenapa gak join aja, but gakpapa rasa happy nya lebih besar jadi semua termaafkan.

    Dan kemarin cuma berdua kami (me and my roomate) ke pantai lagi karna aku pengen nonton volly, dan berniat mau ikut join lagi kalo memungkinkan, but its not that fun anymore dan bola nya juga cuma satu, so aku gak  bisa sok asik ikut nimbrung, jadi we decided buat jalan-jalan aja, dan again lucky us lagi ada akustik, dan ngebawain lagu asik-asik, jadi kami mampir lah ke salah satu bar dengan pakaian olahraga yang tidak seberapa itu. While dengerin akustik dan nyantai dipinggir pantai, with my book, and good food, i feel so blessed. walaupun sekarang belum punya banyak, tapi banyak banget yang aku bisa syukurin.

    So in the end, kita cuma harus lebih bersyukur dengan apa yang kita punya, apa yang ada disekitar kita, orang yang lagi sama kita, dengan diri kita, even dengan problem yang lagi ada sama kita and everything pokoknya, ada satu motto yang aku suka banget, kalo kita bersyukur maka Allah akan beri kita lebih banyak hal lagi untuk disyukuri :) 

Jadi jangan lupa ke pantai, Eh...Jangan lupa bersukur, baru abis itu ke pantai deh ;)

Press Play: Reflecting on Game Elements and Gamification in Learning

                                                                                  When we hear the word game , we often think of fun, competition, or leisure. However, preparing and presenting Game Elements & Gamification in our Game-Based Learning course challenged me to see games not just as entertainment, but as carefully designed systems for motivation, engagement, and learning . This reflection explores what I learned from the presentation, how theory and practice intersect, and why play deserves a serious place in education. Games Are Built on Purpose, Not Chaos      One of the strongest insights from the presentation was that every game begins with a clear objective . Whether it is checkmating an opponent in chess or...

Sound in Multimedia: More Than Just Noise—It’s Memory, Mood, and Meaning

Close your eyes and think of a school bell. Or the “ding” when you get a correct answer in a game. Without seeing anything, your brain already reacts. That’s the power of sound —a tool that goes beyond decoration. In multimedia learning, audio is more than background—it’s a cognitive guide, an emotional hook, and an invisible teacher . Let’s dive into how sound works in learning, what the science says, and how smart audio design makes content not only memorable—but meaningful. Why Sound Matters in Learning While visuals often take center stage in educational media, sound plays a quiet but crucial role . It guides attention, sets emotional tone, and helps learners stay engaged. According to Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning , we process information through two channels: visual and auditory . If too much is crammed into one channel, learners get overwhelmed. But when sound is used strategically, it balances cognitive load (Mayer, 2020). Think of narration that expl...

Learning on the Table: Designing and Playing an Educational Board Game

Gambar
          Board games have a unique power in education. They bring learners together around a shared space, encourage communication, and turn learning into a social experience. Unlike digital games, board games rely on face-to-face interaction, physical components, and collective decision-making, all of which support meaningful learning and collaboration (Salen & Zimmerman, 2004).      Inspired by this idea, one of our assignments was to design an educational board game , test it with real players, and reflect on both the design process and learning outcomes. Why Board Games Matter in Education      Research shows that board games support learning by combining rules, goals, feedback, and social interaction into a single experience. Physical board games encourage turn-taking, discussion, negotiation, and shared problem-solving, which aligns strongly with social constructivist learning theory (Vygotsky, 1978).    ...
