Keywords:
blog, facebook, virtual interaction, physics teacher, ADDIE ModelAbstract
This study was conducted to develop a blog for the physics’s teacher based on KBSM Physics Curriculum Specification. The blog was developed as an alternative medium to facilitate the virtual interaction and information sharing among teachers. The blog was developed based on the ADDIE Model using multimedia software. Blog evaluation was conducted on a total of 146 physics teachers from Kedah. The instrument used was a set of questionnaires, which consist of 18 items. The value of the Realibility Index obtained was 0.973. Results showed that the physics teachers possessed a positive evaluation toward the blog on content aspect (Mean=3.39, S.D=0.380) and the design aspect (Mean=3.25, S.D=0.465). The implication is that the developed blog is suitable as an alternative medium to facilitate the virtual interaction and information sharing among teachers.
