Back in 1988, Tom Snyder (of Tom Snyder Productions, one of the most famous early software publishing companies) and Jane Palmer wrote a prophetic book called In Search of the Most Amazing Thing: Children, Education, and Computers. Their thesis was twofold: First, they pointed out that technology, which was just beginning to be introduced in grade schools, was so compelling that educators were “… more interested in so-called computer literacy than the real thing, literacy” (p. 2). Snyder and Palmer called for stakeholders to determine what their educational priorities were, and then to figure out what technology could do to support them. Second, they emphasized the view that teachers are indispensible components in the teaching and learning process, and that no computer will ever take their place. After 20 years, we believe that Snyder and Palmer would be gratified to read Heid and Blume's newly published two-volume set that contains a thorough anthology of how educators have defined priorities for the teaching and learning of mathematics and the pivotal roles that both the teacher and the technology play within that process. In our view, the editors have attained their goal of assembling a comprehensive digest that “… will enable the creation and implementation of curricula that capitalize on technology and will help teachers orchestrate the use of technological tools in school mathematics classrooms” (vol. 2, p. viii).

The more students invest in their own learning process, the more they will learn. This widely documented view is supported by publications from the mathematics-reform community. For example, the National Research Council's (NRC) Moving beyond Myths (1991) and Everybody Counts (1989) and NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) have called for changes in the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Clear Vision

In the NCTM's curriculum standards, teachers find a clear vision of mathematics classrooms as rich environments where students can explore, conjecture, reason logically, and connect mathematics with the real world. The Standards’ vision assumes that teachers will use strategies that promote students’ active participation in the learning process. For geometry, especially, those strategies should include activities that foster the interplay of deductive and inductive reasoning (NCTM 1989).

Ideal curriculum is the curriculum that consists of something good as the dream of book of curriculum. Real curriculum is real actions that apply in learning and teaching process as the real of the planing curriculum. Curriculum content is what we have to do to the learners and the learning and teaching is a manner of what we will give or teach to the learners. The development of 2013 curriculum is stresset to compeletness of learners thinking, the impressing of curriculum management, the domination and development of material, stressing process of teaching and learning process, and lining appropriate of learning responsibility in order to get the guaranty of appropriate between what we want and what we get. Effected aspect to the implementation of 2013 curriculum raleted directly to the process of learning, namely: teachers’ creativities, learners’ activities, facilities and recourses.Will the 2013 curriculum can be realized by teachers practically in the field? Today, the changing of curriculum reap many responses, some people are pessimistic even declining the curriculum, but at the same time some are appreciative to the curriculum. The changing of curriculum does not affect the changing of the teacher’s method and style to teach. It needs revolutionary change in the practice of 2013 curriculum.

Pedagogical Function

The theater consists of one of the languages of the Art that implies the interpretation of stories for an audience and can be used in the school with a pedagogical function, serving as a subsidy for the corporal and cultural development of the children. The subject who has the chance to participate in theatrical activities can develop the critical ability to evaluate impressions of the outer and inner world, related to the real and the imaginary. The Physical Education and other curriculum disciplines can use theater as a facilitator of the teaching and learning process, a factor not yet found in the country's curriculum. Given these assumptions, the purpose of this study is to present theater as a didactic resource and facilitator of the teaching and learning process. It was adopted as a method a qualitative approach, with a bibliographic character, and it was concluded that the theater can contribute in a significant way with the overall development of the child.

Nowadays, innovation for teaching aids is an important requirement to ensure the teaching and learning process can run smoothly. Coinciding with the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 (Ministry of Education) through the ninth surge of Global Online Learning, the development of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was built. The ADDIE model has been adapted for this development. The study aims to develop an appropriate interactive learning for Food and Beverage Presentation subjects based on the Vocational College (VC) syllabus. In research development, researchers use Richey and Klein research recommendations, using Alpha and Beta tests in the evaluation phase of the study. The population of the study involved 155 Catering students at Muar Vocational College and the sample of the study were 60 of third and fourth-year Diploma students. The sampling method used is the purposive sampling and the instrument used in the form of the questionnaire. Data collected were collected and analyzed descriptively using Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0. Based on the analysis, the reliability value of the instrument is 0.997 and shows that the reliability of the instrument is at a high level. The findings show that the use of MOOC can increase computer literacy (3.75), interest (3.78) and student learning styles (3.75) and make the learning process more interesting. In addition, the findings show that the use of the MOOC application can help students in improving the performance and achievement of students in learning and thus can be an alternative to diversifying the teaching and learning process in VC.

ICT is tools or medias that facilitate teaching and learning process in the classroom. ICT includes software application, computers, radio, television, telephony, CD ROM, audio or video clips, computer, and internet. Utilizing this technology is not improve students’ achievement but also their character, especially language ethic. Students’ language ethic has relationship to linguistics aspects. In semantics, the study tells about how polite language used to communicate with other people in the real context. In pragmatics, the study tells about how polite language used to communicate with older and younger people based on the situation. There were some words and expressions can be used and can be not used to communicate with other people. One way to teach semantics and pragmatics was used ICT in the calssroom. Using ICT that input islamic value can develop the students’ character indirectly. Hopefully, all of the English Lecturer using ICT as English Teaching Media at Islamic University.

Titration was one of the chemistry concepts that require practicum in the learning process. But, many obstacles in the real laboratory such as lack of material, tools, and times made the real laboratory less optimal. These lacks could be solved by used Virtual Reality (VR) technology. VR made a big contribution to the education sector. One of them was implementing it in the development virtual laboratory. Virtual laboratory plays an important role in the learning process. It was possible to manipulate 2D (virtual world) objects similar to 3D (real world) objects. This study developed Virtual Reality Laboratory (VRL) to analyze its characteristics, quality, and impact on students' cognitive achievement. A research and development (R&D) method with a post-test design was used in this study. The subjects of this study were 102 high school students in class XI. The samples were divided into 3 classes, namely CC (real laboratory); EC-1 (VRL); and EC-2 (real laboratory and VRL). The results of students' cognitive achievement were analyzed using ANOVA and it was found that there were significant differences in students' cognitive achievement in the three classes. Students who used VRL had higher cognitive achievement than students who used real laboratory. VRL also received excellent grades from chemistry educators. Thus VRL is very useful as a supplement in the teaching and learning process.
