Perbedaan PPG dan PPGJ

Saat ini dunia pendidikan sedang diramaikan dengan pendaftaran Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Guru atau yang lebih dikenal dengan PPG, ternyata beberapa pendidik masih bingung dengan istilah PPG dan PPGJ. Pada postingan kali ini forumpendidikan.com akan mencoba menjelaskan tentang perbedaan dari PPG dan PPGJ. Pemerintah telah menyepakati untuk guru yang belum bersertifikasi pada tahun 2017 akan segera melaksanakan PPG dan PPGJ. Pola ini menggantikan PLPG yang rencananya akan berakhir pada akhir tahun 2017 ini. Sebagai penggantinya adalah dengan melaksanakan PPG dan
PPGJ.

 

PPG
PPG atau Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Guru ditujukan bagi Pendidik yang belum mempunyai NIP, atau bisa juga dikategorikan Mahasiswa yang baru saja menyelesaikan Studinya. Untuk Pola PPG ini ada juga yang melalui jalur PPG-SM3T, Pola PPG SM3T ini dilakukan oleh Mahasiswa lulusan Non Kependidikan. Jadi bisa diambil kesimpulan bahwa pola PPG ini hanya ditujukan bagi Pendidik yang belum ber-NIP, serta bagi Mahasiswa Non Kependidikan yang ingin mengabdikan dirinya untuk menjadi Guru. Pola PPG-SM3T ini sebenarnya ditujukan untuk Mahasiswa Non Kependidikan yang ingin mengabdikan dirinya sebagai Guru, serta PPG SM3T ini bisa dikatakan sebagai pengganti Akta 4.
PPGJ
Pendidikan dan Pelatihan Guru dalam Jabatan atau PPGJ ini memang sedikit berbeda dengan Pola PPG untuk mendapatkan Sertifikat Pendidik. Pola PPGJ ini ditujukan bagi pendidik yang sudah mengajar dan mengabdi. Istilah dalam jabatan sendiri masih sangat membingungkan bagi kalangan pendidik. Jabatan yang dimaksud disini mempunyai arti bahwa sang pendidik sudah ber-NIP, dan sudah mengabdikan dirinya di Yayasan. Persayaratan bagi Guru Tetap Yayasan untuk bisa mendaftarkan ke PPGJ sendiri mempunyai kriteria tertentu yaitu mempunyai SK tetap Yayasan pada tahun 2015. Untuk GTT sekolah, informasi sementara yang kami terima adalah Tidak bisa mendaftarkan diri pada pola PPGJ. Hanya GTT yang diangkat oleh Bupati atau Walikota lah yang bisa mendaftarkan melalui Jalur PPGJ. Dengan kata lain hanya Guru Honorer Daerah yang bisa mendaftarkan diri untuk mendapatkan Sertifikasi pada pola PPGJ.

Nikon's new D4 DSLR

D4 is being labeled as a one powerful lightstalker thanks to its numerous specs. It sports a new 16.2-megapixel full-format CMOS sensor that has 7.3-micron pixels and shoots up to ISO 204,800. But it’s also packed with a 91k pixel 3D color matrix meter and 51-point AF tracking system that also keeps its orientation when you change from landscape to portrait. The AF also features -2EV, which is a full stop slower than the D3S.

One of the most important upgrades is the D4’s video powers, as it shoots in 1080p at 30 or 24fps (or 720p at 60fps) BUT now uses B-Frame data compression, allowing users to record h.264 clips for up to 20 minutes continuously. It can also provide uncompressed HD output through its HDMI port, as well as allows silent adjustment while shooting via its remote shutter operation for video recording and power aperture. Ergonomics and usability also improved, making it easier to capture your subjects. Nikon also made its new D4 feel a lot lighter even though it has the magnesium alloy chassis build.

Canon debuts powershoot GX1 point and shoot digital camera

Canon’s new PowerShot GX1 is the company’s most powerful fixed-lens point-and-shoot digital camera yet, touting a gigantic and powerful 14.3-megapixel 1.5-inch CMOS sensor. It’s the largest sensor that’s been placed inside one of Canon’s Powershot models and is the largest of its class (it’s almost as big as an APS-C sized sensor found in Canon 60D and Nikon D7000 DSLRs). The ginormous sensor allows for nine times more light than the previous 1/1.7-inch chip and 1.5-inch CMOS chip increases depth-of-field dramatically and is supposed have a significant boost to lowlight sensitivity.

Complementing the new sensor is Digic 5 processing and HS system technology that increases sensitivity in dark conditions thanks to its backside illumination, as well as aids its full resolution High-Speed Burst HQ capabilities. Other specs include: a top ISO of 12,800; aperture range of f/2.8 – f/16; 4x optical zoom lens with 28mm wide-angle equivalent; 1080p Full HD capability; RAW shooting capability; and a advanced Smart Auto mode that now recognizes up to 58 scenes. It’s pretty pricy for a point-and-shoot since it’s said to have a $799.99 price tag, but the new G1 X will be setting a new standard for the segment.
