INTRODUCTION
A. Rationalization Of The Importance Of CBR
The opinion is writing that contains the thoughts or ideas of the author. Opinion writing
does not require in-depth study, just the thoughts of the author. Writing in the form of an opinion
is less accurate if it is used as a reference because it is only one person's thoughts. Opinions from
one person to another are very likely to differ due to different ideas or points of view. Opinions
can also be written by people who are competent in certain fields, but the information conveyed
is purely based on theories or the results of other people's research.
In this book, we will review the opinion essay for the Critical Book review assignment in
the book entitled "Introduction to Academic Writing". We will review how the material in this
book is about opinion essays, illustrations, book covers, and grammar used to convey opinion
essay material. In this book, we will also review some of the advantages and disadvantages of

advantages and disadvantages contained in this book. And summarize some of the material about

Make A Podcast In English Class
Why do students need to create their own podcast? At least, there are 4 reasons. First, creating a
podcast can be a new way to practice speaking English instead of just doing a presentation with
using power points that are commonly used by students in class.
Second, on their podcasts, students can discuss various topics that they like or that are related to
their daily lives, for example about aspirations for the future, their family culture, reasons for being
successful in a class, responses to an event, or other related topics.
Third, students can also play an active role in sharing positive content to combat hoaxes that
have been roaming around in cyberspace today.

CHAPTER IV
Learning In A Hybrid And Flexible Context With Technology
As it was found that the use of virtual platforms such as Google Classroom, WhatsApp, and
Telegram was quite dominant. This shows that technology-assisted learning is becoming dominant
today. Other learning strategies, such as discussions, questions and answers, and quizzes are the
choices of teachers during the pandemic. This finding is important to know the pedagogical
strategies and also the utilization of relevant technologies used in the current virtual learning
conditions. This shows that teachers are trying to integrate several related things such as strategies
and learning aids in their classrooms.
According to Chaijum and Hiranyachattada (2020), project-based learning is very good for
students, especially in online situations with the aim of teaching students to be more independent
and sharpening 21st century skills more intensively (Santosa, 2019). It is known that teachers still
have many difficulties in carrying out learning at this time, seen from issues that arise in terms of
facilities (signals, quotas, availability of devices), student conditions (less motivated, less able to
participate in learning), and supporting technology ( for quizzes, for learning, for certain activities).
Virtual-based learning is full of various activities that coincide with its implementation has
become the new normal nowadays. It is important for teachers, students and other related parties to
be ready and able to adapt to the challenges of the learning process that may arise in the future,
whether there is a pandemic or not. One of them is by optimizing the use of technology-based
learning tools in mixed or hybrid contexts that are effectively integrated with various other
important aspects of learning, such as pedagogical strategies and understanding of material content
tailored to their respective contexts.
B. Hyflex learning
online learning can be in the form of mixed (hybrid/blended) with various percentages of daring
activities, ranging from only assisted (about 20-30%), hybrid/mixed (about 31 – 80%), and full
courage (81%-100%).
In certain situations, online learning can be coupled with many technology-assisted learning
activities – conventional to digital – from the use of paper and pencil to relevant learning
applications, for example Canva for poster or infographic creation, Microsoft Word for typing.
Mendeley for an automated referral system based on metadata, or the Animals of Nusantara
Android application to learn with Virtual Reality technology. In its development, online learning
has developed. One that is emerging today is HyFlex learning. The term HyFlex combines hybrid
and flexible concepts where learning consists of online student attendance and face-to-face student
attendance in one learning process (Keiper et al., 2020). It is an innovative blended learning
method.
HyFlex as a new form of online learning generally uses a variety of contemporary and contextual
issues as basic learning materials. Learning materials and materials are summarized in the form of
readings and/or videos uploaded on school portals or YouTube (and the like). Students then prepare
themselves at home by watching or reading material provided by the teacher in online form. In
virtual classroom meetings, the learning process will focus on discussion activities, with various
patterns, starting individually, in pairs and groups, answering quizzes, expressing understanding on
a virtual whiteboard, and the like.
CHAPTER V
Digital Storytelling Project
In the early 2000s, the digitization of storytelling activities began to be known, along with the
development of digital technology tools that became more affordable and more accessible to
various groups. Advances in technology provide a new repertoire that allows ordinary people to
create stories with the help of computers, laptops, tablets, and even smartphones.
The following are the stages of the Digital Storytelling Project that I did with students in a period
of 6 weeks. This stage can be adapted by teachers according to the availability of time, learning
objectives and project scope.
CHAPTER VI
Innovation that can be done in providing feedback is audio feedback. This feedback is in the
form of a voice recording. Another innovation that can be done in providing e-feedback is with
audio feedback. This feedback is in the form of a voice recording Technology-Mediated Feedback
The rapid development of technology today and the global pandemic, Covid-19, gives a new
dimension. Related to the integration of technology in the learning process. This also affects how
teachers provide feedback with technology mediation (e-feedback). Unfortunately, so far, e-
feedback has not been explored much.
There are several technologies that can be used to support the process of providing audio
feedback to students:
1. Vocaroo (https://vocaroo.com/)
2. Mote (https://www.justmote.me/)
3. Screencast-O-Matic (https://screencast-omatic.com/)
4. ,Explain Everything (https://drive.explaineverything.com/)
