Kemendiknas Akan Ganti Buku Cetak dengan Komputer Tablet

Jakarta - Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional (Kemendiknas) akan mengembangkan komputer tablet yang berisi materi pelajaran. Komputer tablet ini nantinya akan menggantikan buku cetak pelajaran yang selama ini digunakan oleh siswa sekolah.

?Komputer tablet ini akan digunakan sebagai bagian utama dalam sistem pelajaran,? ujar Mendiknas M Nuh di kantor Kemendiknas, Jl Jenderal Sudirman, Jakarta, Senin (2/5/2011).

Nuh mengatakan buku yang berbentuk cetak hanya akan menjadi penunjang komputer tablet tersebut. Sehingga para siswa tidak perlu lagi membawa buku yang banyak dan berat ke sekolah. ?Itu yang membuat mereka kecapekan,? ungkapnya.

Kemendiknas dalam hal ini bekerjasama dengan Microsoft Indonesia dan Intel Indonesia. Sayangnya Nuh tidak menjelaskan kapan komputer tablet ini mulai diluncurkan. Nuh juga tidak sempat menjelaskan mengenai komputer tablet ini apakah akan dibagikan kepada setiap siswa atau mereka harus membeli.

Sementara itu Direktur Utama Microsoft Indonesia Sutanto Hartono mengatakan kerjasama tersebut bertujuan untuk meningkatkan metode pengajaran para guru. Dengan program ini diharapkan guru dan tenaga pengajar akan siap menggunakan metode belajar mengajar abad ke 21.

?Selain itu juga dapat meningkatkan performa dalam hal e-learning,? jelas Sutanto. Sutanto menjelaskan Microsoft berkomitmen untuk memberikan dukungan piranti lunak yang dapat diunduh secara gratis dalam rangka proses akademik yang akhirnya akan mendukung karir para siswa di masa mendatang. Microsoft mendukung terus dunia pendidikan Indonesia dalam menyongsong era pendidikan era abad 21. ?Soal harga akan dibicarakan lebih lanjut,? ujarnya.

Manager Humas Intel Indonesia Corporation Dhyoti R. Basuki mengungkapkan hal serupa. Kerjasama ini merupakan pemanfaatan program dengan tujuan mendukung pilar-pilar kebijakan pendidikan di Kemendiknas.

?Dalam pelaksanaan kerjasama ini, Intel akan memperkuat inisiatif pendidikan di Indonesia. Bertujuan untuk memperluas konektivitas pendidikan berbasis TIK (Teknologi Informasi Komunikasi) dan pengembangan konten. Kerjasama ini diharapkan membantu para guru dalam proses pengajaran sehingga menghasilkan metode belajar yang efektif sehingga akan mendorong kreativitas dan inovasi para siswa,? jelasnya.

Buku BSE (Buku Sekolah Elektronik) / Untung Besar Pebisnis Buku Sekolah
« on: January 13, 2014, 06:26:15 PM »
Untung Besar Pebisnis Buku Sekolah

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Bisnis buku pelajaran sekolah memang amat menggiurkan. Keuntungan besar yang didapat penerbit membuat pengadaan buku pelajaran di sekolah selalu ingin dikuasai pebisnis buku.

"Pengadaan buku sekolah ini memang sudah berpuluh-puluh tahun dikuasai pebisnis buku. Mereka sudah merasakan comfort zone yang luar biasa karena dapat keuntungan yang besar," kata Kepala Pusat Kurikulum dan Perbukuan (Puskurbuk) Depdiknas Ramon Mohandas pada Tempo, Senin, 22 Juli 2013, di ruang kerjanya, Gedung Puskurbuk, Jalan Gunung Sahari, Jakarta Pusat.

Ramon mencontohkan, ongkos cetak dan ongkos kirim yang dikeluarkan penerbit untuk buku dengan tebal 112 halaman adalah Rp 7 ribu. Di pasaran, buku yang sama, tebal yang sama, dan warna yang sama, dijual penerbit Rp 35 ribu. "Jadi sebenarnya, buat mereka, memberi komisi 30-50 persen ke guru itu enggak ada apa-apanya karena harganya bukunya dijual sangat mahal," ujar Ramon.

Bisnis buku makin renyah karena penerbit kerap kali memecah buku pelajaran per semester, bukan untuk satu tahun ajaran. Ramon menceritakan, satu buku pelajaran bisa mencapai harga Rp 70 ribu. Itu untuk satu semester. Walhasil, untuk satu tahun, sebuah buku dijual Rp 140 ribu. "Makanya wajar kalau ada yang bilang sekarang tidak bisa dikatakan pendidikan sudah  gratis. Soalnya harga bukunya luar biasa mahal."

Pemerintah sebenarnya tidak tinggal diam. Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Muhammad Nuh sempat mencoba menembus keadaan ini dengan membuat program Buku Sekolah Elektronik (BSE).

Dalam program BSE, Puskurbuk Kemendikbud meminta penulis atau penerbit membuat buku pelajaran untuk pemerintah. Hak cipta buku-buku ini lalu dibeli Puskurbuk dan dimasukan ke website, sehingga bisa bebas di-download siapa saja, termasuk oleh penerbit. Kalau penerbit ingin mendistribusikan buku-buku itu secara komersial, mereka hanya boleh menjualnya dengan Harga Eceran Tertinggi (HET) yang sudah ditentukan pemerintah.

Kenyataannya, kata Ramon, BSE gagal di lapangan. Program ini dianggap tidak seksi oleh para pelaku bisnis perbukuan di sekolah. Para penerbit yang bukunya sudah lolos seleksi Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (BNSP) kebanyakan tidak mau menjual hak ciptanya kepada pemerintah.

"Karena harga jual buku di program ini dipatok paling mahal sesuai HET. Jadi, yang mau jual hak cipta paling-paling yang penulis individu. Sementara penerbit enggak mau menjual hak cipta buku mereka," kata Ramon prihatin.

Tidak lakunya penggunaan buku BSE juga disebabkan perilaku para guru di sekolah-sekolah. Guru sering kali lebih suka memilih buku yang ditawarkan oleh penerbit. Apalagi jika penerbit-penerbit datang ke sekolah dengan membawa iming-iming hadiah, bahkan diajak jalan-jalan ke luar negeri.

"Artinya, BSE itu pilihan kedua bagi sekolah. Pilihan pertama mereka adalah memakai buku dari penerbit yang membawa iming-iming," ujar Ramon.

Are Tablets Taking Over The PC Market?

From :

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online

If you?ve had your eye on one of those new MacBook Pros with a Retina Display or some other PC laptop, you may want to go ahead and pull the trigger. According to a new forecast report from NPD DisplaySearch, laptops may be well on their way to extinction in just 4 years, being rapidly replaced by none other than the sleek and svelte tablet.

According to DisplaySearch, laptop shipments will reach 393 million units by 2017. Not a bad number, mind you, but tablets will surpass this number by 23 million, shipping 416 million units by 2017. While not an overwhelming lead, DisplaySearch forecasts a much smaller 121 million units shipped this year, meaning tablet shipments will grow by more than 3 fold in just 4 years.

Pushing these tablet sales is a popularity in what the DisplaySearch report calls ?mature markets,? including North America, Western Europe and Japan. Of all the tablets shipped this year, 66% of them will arrive in one of these 3 countries. Come 2016, these countries will still be demanding around 60% of the world?s tablet shipments.

Richard Shim, senior analysts with NPD?s DisplaySearch recognizes that laptops and tablets share some major similarities in functionality, though consumer preference seems to be leaning towards mobility and sexier tablets.

?Tablet PCs are expected to evolve in form factor and performance,? the report said, ?making them a compelling alternative to notebook PCs.?

Technological advancements in tablet-based computing are also expected to drive the popularity of these mobile devices. For instance, the tablet?s ?instant-on? capabilities, as well as an improved battery life and shrinking case are all factors which will drive the popularity of these devices, not to mention multi-core processors, increasingly sophisticated operating systems, and growing application libraries.

NPD?s DisplaySearch isn?t the first to make such predictions, however. Tim Cook announced in February that it was his belief that the tablet market would one day surpass the laptop market, admitting that the best-selling iPad has already begun to cannibalize Mac sales.

?The Mac is still growing, and I think it could still grow, but I strongly believe that the tablet market will surpass the unit sales of the PC market,? said Cook. ?It?s just a matter of the rate and speed and time that that happens.?

Though the iPad has taken some Mac sales away from Apple, Cook doesn?t think the PC industry will be dying anytime soon. ?That doesn?t mean that the PC is going to die,? said Cook. ?I don?t predict the demise of the PC industry.?

So far, this year has been a huge one for tablets. Normally a market reserved for the iPad alone, Microsoft has announced their intention to enter the tablet market with a device all their own, though they have yet to officially announce pricing or release dates. Google also announced a new tablet option in the Nexus 7, which starts at $199. A 7-inch tablet with no profit built in, the Nexus 7 is expected to compete more with Amazon?s negative-profit 7-inch Kindle Fire.

'1984' Apple Macintosh Commercial (Full advert, Hi-Quality)


This is the full video of '1984', the commercial released by Apple on 22nd January 1984, during the Third Quarter of Super Bowl XVIII.

This was it's only day time release; Other screenings were in the cinema's.

For those confused, it is based on George Orwells book 1984, in which society is controlled by Big Brother and is being watched/heard night and day. On top of this, they are fuelled with hatred for the past and other societies other than their own.

'1984' the commercial is based around one of the Two Minute Hate scenes, in which Apples case, the young woman in red shorts is suggesting Apple Macintosh will give people freedom in computing like never before (IBM was the main competitor at the time). The crowd of emotionless people are the members of the Big Brother society, taking in all the propaganda. The old chap in the large screen is Big Brother.

"1984" is an American television commercial which introduced the Apple Macintosh personal computer for the first time. It was conceived by Steve Hayden, Brent Thomas and Lee Clow at Chiat/Day, Venice, produced by New York production company Fairbanks Films, and directed by Ridley Scott. Anya Major performed as the unnamed heroine and David Graham as Big Brother. Its only U.S. daytime televised broadcast was on January 22, 1984 during and as part of the telecast of the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. Chiat/Day also ran the ad one other time on television, in December 1983 right before the 1:00 am sign-off on KMVT in Twin Falls, Idaho, so that the advertisement could be submitted to award ceremonies for that year.[4][5] In addition, starting on January 17, 1984 it was screened prior to previews in movie theaters for a few weeks. It has since been seen on television commercial compilation specials, as well as in "Retro-mercials" on TV Land. The estate of George Orwell and the television rightsholder to the novel 1984 considered the commercial to be a flagrant copyright infringement, and sent a cease-and-desist letter to Apple and Chiat/Day in April 1984. The commercial was never televised as a commercial after that.

Thanks for looking!
