Assalamu'alaikum Warohmatullahi Wabarokatuh

I'm Sofian bima Prabowo, I want to review the one of media for learning that is Rubistar.

        If we talk about application/web especially for learning, we can find the many application/webs and now I want to ask for a little of your time to understand about Rubistar. This media really made for learning and very relevant to the learning objectives and very connected if learning is made, in rubistar we can see various features for learning, like a game, act. Talking about feedback, very much, especially to students, the various features in it make students creative and also for teachers the way teachers teach will also vary from boring to fun. This media is also very supportive in terms of the creativity of students and teachers, and also to find out the ability of students is also very good.

        This Media needs the practice of teacher, because this a little bit difficult for use especially for the teacher and student minim knowledge about technology. and this media not too many know unless there is a teacher who tells his students how to use the assignments and materials provided through the media. even so this media is very useful for learning, regarding assessment and also providing material to students, features have been provided for it, so it is safe to store grades and learning materials. how to access so easy and we can use all tools like computer, PC and cellphone android, this media This media also does not charge a fee from the user but just use when online.

1. Rubistar is verry support if we use in ELT, how to use it is by using the many features the provide in rubistar, for the example in this media there is have a feature called make a game we can use this feature for send the Materi to student and we can use also for evaluated the student like give the assignment.

2. Of course, the everything have the impact to something, like this media to user, that is student and teacher. for the teacher, no need opens the book for explains to student about some material, they have prepared the material in rubistar ana, and for student not more but this can make student creative when they are doing the assignment.

3. for advantage of rubistar that is, as mentioned above that this media makes it easy for teachers to be more creative in feeding the material and also makes it easy for students to better understand the material given to the teacher which also includes benefits for ELT. 

4. the drawback is that it is a little difficult to access and also has the same features, as in this media it is there for video collection and also writing collection, the form of collection is the same if used.

5. I think this media so verry support the language skill writing, listening, speaking, and reading and for component of language that is grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary, because we can enter the many materials like video, article, act.
