E-modul Training at SMA N 1 Palembang 2018

One weeks ago, I had opportunity to delivered training about how to create e-modul at SMA N 1 palembang. Almost all teacher joined this training, they tried to make ebook called e-modul for each subject they teached. I had challenge to deliver this course easily because the last training most of teacher didn't understand to create e-modul rightly.

About one week before the day, I prepared all off material including software, video and ebook for this training and from all of material subject the challenge one was how to create evaluation page because actually it's need knowledge about Web Code that are HTML, CSS even Javascript but I couldn't teach to teacher about it because they would be confused, so I decided to make video tutorial with easy step, I prepared all the code that needed and teach them how to follow the step but unfortunately it was not easy because although just little but it was still edited by Web Code.

On the day, I came early with my friend who one of teacher at SMA N 1 Palembang his name is ruffer, he came to my house and take me to school. when I arrived no ones there because we came too early so I need to wait until all audiences came to the room training.

There were two sections in this training, first section was about library that presented by mr. majelis who the lecturer of unsri, mr. majelis told us about digital library from around the world and share about free content for children. mr majelis was very excited when he delivered lecture but unfortunately it taken my portion time so I started lecture lately.

at 10.30 a clock that should be started 9.30, I started my lecture about e-modul and most of teacher excited about this lecture,  I demonstrated step by step slowly and easily but unfortunately most of teacher couldn't follow the instruction. because of that I couldn't deliver all my lecture and time was running out, so I decided to stop at around 15.30. for next time I will try making my lecture more easily and simple, from this situation I learned a lot to make it better.

ok this is my story, may be sounded bored for you but thank you for reading, stay tune for the next trip :D. bye bye

Three weeks ago, I was asked from my ex-school to support olimpic science program as a trainer, it was bit surprise for me because it have been a long time since I've joined olimpic science but it was a challenge for me and decided to accept it. I want to share my experience join olimpic science, it's about 16 years ago when I was in first grade student on that moment I was not elected as member that represent school to join math olimpic I disappointed with that but my heart say "this is a delay success". on the second year teacher decided me to join math olimpic I didn't known why I've been chosen may be they thought I was 'grazy' man and when I started exam I felt unconfident because nothing I could do and I din't understand how to answer and believe it or not I was slept may be around 30 minutes :D after I wake, suddenly I could answer almost all question but in doubt. when deciding day came, I was surprise because fortunately almost all my answer was correct and I was in third place. I hope my story can inspire you guys.

 Ok let's back again to my story, First day I started my job, it was out from my expectation there wasn't any room for us I mean room that have chairs and tables with white board and projector, we just sit on the floor with circle table :D, no much I could do when that moment so I decided to practice them with pascal program. amazing they have good brain and can understand fast. second day we have better room but now it's the biggest room in school, yes it's an auditorium may be they thought I need more space to teach :D.  I was success pass that day with answering all pre test question. and for the next day we just focus answering question with discuss together all possible answer and it was very excited. the last two days I test them with simulation, I collected old question to be answer by them and the result it was quite good to pass real test, I hope they can success with the real test even 3 of them or more may be eliminated because palembang only choose 3 candidates.

How To Earn Money From Android

Hello my friends today I would like to share my experiences about how to earn money from android, the first thing to do is drill your self with programming skill specially in android application development.

I. Why we should choose android?
Ok, based on newspaper there are around 81% smartphone users are using android, it's means that there are 8 people from 10 are using android, so we have huge market here. So do you know how many android device right now? since 2016 there are more than 1 billion devices around the world, based on that I suggest you to focus in android application development than other platform.

2. How to study?
android application development is using java and kotlin as their programming language, as beginner it's better for you to start java programming language and after you feel confident with that, you can continue study about android programming. for you Indonesian I suggest you to access http://dicoding.com because in this website not only give you study materials but also give you challenge that you can handle and if you are success you will get reward so it will make your study more fun.

3. Android Pay API
I'm sure most of you have already try using android game, and almost all game always offer you to buy some items so you can get good experience on that game, how it can be? google have Android pay API that allow developer to accept payment from their user, all of payment will be shared by google around 70% (CMIIW). So if you have game or application and want to sell premium features you can use this API.

4. Admob
at least there are 4 types of ad that are provided by admob that is

1. Insterstitial ads, is a kind of ad that cover all space of screen, that used to show after splash screen.
2. Banner ads, is a kind of ad that cover small space of screen.
3. Native ads, is a kind of ad that show as a part of our apps UI. almost no different between ad and contents.
4. Rewards Ads, is a kind of ad that give user reward for watching some videos.
