Student-Centered Learning Environments: How and Why | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    It takes a giant leap of faith for a teacher to think that their students can learn the material on their own. Teachers become teachers to teach. It is natural for the teacher to want to force the student to learn. But, this is similar to trying to force the proverbial horse to drink. Think about how many video games people have learned and won, on their own! No one had to "teach" them how; no one had to force them to play.

The 21st-century classroom can be a daunting place - 0 views

  •  
    I nod in agreement with many of these ideas. Yes, we are living in an intensely stimulating world. Yes, students must own their own learning. Yes, learning is more than recall. Yes, we must make real-world links. Yes, yes, yes! But how, how, how in class sizes that are upward of 27 students? How can I stay current and interesting and relevant? How do I engage this new breed of techno-savvy, overstimulated youngsters who are bored to distraction in school? This is what I think about in August.

    "I spend a lot of time visiting innovative classrooms in New York City. As I do, there is something that I've noticed in many classes I've visited - there are still some educators that don't seem to know the no nos for teaching with a projector or interactive whiteboard (IWB).
