CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
The development of technology provides a great impact on some sectors of life. The
development of a more advanced technology is making some sectors are required to be more
developed along with the development of technology and one of them is in the education
sector. In the education sector, education is required to be able to take advantage of the
development of technology with both as part of the effort to improve education because with
advanced education will affect the progress of the nation. Therefore, education played a big
part to increase the quality of the nation. Attention to the world of education in the use of
technology for the purpose of education is very important because without special attention
isn't it will not grow as technology development which should be used for maximum.
One of the ways to take advantage of technology development in the world of
education is on the learning that was carried out by educators. Learning is the most important
component in education. The success of learning is determined by the students are able to
understand the learning delivered by educators. And the students are required to be active and
independent in the learning process. Learning requires active interaction between the teachers
and students who will make the learning can be achieved by media. The current learning
requires the students to be active and independent so that will be formed and learning
concentrated on students or student center learning. To support this, so teachers are required
to use the right method of learning and the method can be supported by learning media in the
process of delivering the material to the students. The teaching will be deemed more effective
when teachers and students using this method and learning media that adequate. The Media
used to support the learning must be able to grow the motivation in students. Media used to
clarify the message that will be delivered, invigorate and spirit of the students so that the
students are motivated in the learning process and also makes it easier to students in receiving
the learning delivered.
One of the transfers of information to the students is by using the technology. The use
of this technology allowed for teaching and learning activities as other sources are required to
support the learning activities in the classroom. Teachers are required to be able to follow the
development of technology as one of the supporting learning activities that one can be
implemented on a learning media. Examples of media that can be used by a educators or
teachers including computer-based media, media audio and visual media graphics, media
presentation, media photos, media projector and internet-based media. Each of these media
has the advantages and disadvantages of each one destined. Teachers are expected to be able
3
to use the media in the teaching and learning process that could certainly make enthusiastic
students increased and the students are motivated to follow the teaching and learning process
in the classroom and make the students actively in the learning process. One of the media that
is able to attract students and gives the students motivation to learn is Wordwall.
