Learning Outcomes are based upon the objectives and desired achievements for the workshop participants. It is the goal that these outcomes will be achievable as work place outcomes as transferrable into the classroom.
What is the Difference? Teacher Centered vs. Student Centered Learning Environments. Trainer Notes: There are two visuals that give a clear picture of teacher centered vs. student centered learning. Teacher Centered learning focus on the “teacher” relaying information to the students. Teacher centered learning does not expand into various learning styles or engage student’s active participation. Student centered learning focuses on the student in the center of active participation utilizing a variety of learning styles and activities.
Definition of teacher centered versus student centered learning environment notated from Teaching in Higher Education.Trainer Notes: Guide participants to contrast the difference between a teacher centered versus a student centered learning environment. Focus on the contrast of teaching method/delivery: lecture vs. independent “authentic problem solving” approach.
Trainer notes:Pose the open ended question “How do you incorporate technology in your classroom” – facilitate brief dialog and link to real-life classroom examples or pose a hypothetical question for self assessment.
Trainer Notes: Provide examples of the listed student centered approaches that infuse technology into the classroom. (Virtual Peer Interaction)Guide participants to visualize their individual classrooms with the learner as the main focus/center. Technology can be integrated into daily activities and learning opportunities, naturally and with meaningful context. (peer assessment, wikis, chat, Facebook, blog, discussion boards.) (Quarterly Review of Distance Education)
Trainer Notes:Utilize this visual to facilitate brief discussionand/or provide examples of technology integration with a student centered approach.
Incorporated from: NETS – Journal of Adolescent and Adult LiteracyTrainer Notes: The National Educational Technology Standards set a foundation for teachers. Guide participants in focusing on the “Student Centered Learning” approaches provided throughout NETS. (Creativity, Equitable Technology Access) Encourage making connections to one’s individual classroom setting and content. Present an open ended question: “How can I apply these standards in a realistic manner with my students?”
Trainer Notes: Listed are key elements that may be effecting the teacher’s within our setting: funding, troubleshooting, and accessibility for students andfamilies. The key is to encourage the workshop participants to believe in the concept of technology integration and student centered learning, not to beDiscouraged by challenges. As the trainer/facilitator: be open to other questions, concerns, and solutions.
Information gathered from: Tech Trends Trainer Notes: Because of recent reports with deficiency of copyright application in the classroom setting and content; focus on importance of rememberingto recognize and incorporate copyright and fair use guidelines.
Trainer Notes: Encourage workshop participants to realize they are the key to the integration of technology and student centered learning!
