Yeah.. I'm going two for two here! Top question: possibilities such as frequent variation of instruction, checklists and inventories of interest, allowing students to select from a menu of required skills and then collaborating on a way to achieve those skills, and allowing and encouraging a variety of assessments, with the student present and contributing at each step, with support and guidance.
I do a lot of centers with my class. I need to incorporate more centers of an investigative nature. I tend to have centers with more of an intended product and less inquiry based learning. Again, first grade is a work in progress for me!
I can facilitate a student centered classroom by doing more project based activities where students become more responsible for their learning. Rubrics and checklists that are previewed before projects begin will keep students on task and goal oriented.
I can facilitate student centered classrooms by doing project based activities, and use assessments and checklist, so students can guide their progress, and encourage use of the computer lab and internet tools
I can facilitate a student centered classroom with use of small group activities, graphic organizers, and projects, use of rubrics and checklists to help students keep track of things, and ask open ended questions so that students will gain experience using higher order thinking skills.
Technology can be used for research, in the projects for students to complete (brochures, newsletters, etc.), in blogs and Wikis to name a few.
I can facilitate a student centered classroom by having more projects withing the classroom. I have been very steered away for this because of my own hang-up with grading. I need to use rubrics and get over it.
Projects, group or individual, work best for me. Research leading to oral presentations, PowerPoint, brochure work, word, graphing...it's all relevant to the real world.
Facilitation of student-centered classrooms can be achieved through integration of technology and on-line tools into project based learning activities.
The class will be be more student-centered by using more projects and students really like using technology in the classroom. This makes learning more fun for the students.
I can facilitate a studnet centered classroom by havig hands on projects and centers in the classroom that are open to the students. Students should feel free to explore the classroom and use their knowledge to complete class activities.Have many class projects and hands on activities and use rubrics to grade
I can have a more student centered classroom by providing more opportunities for the students to discover & investigate on their own, in partners, & in small groups. I need to ask more open-ended, higher-level questions that will motiviate my students to search out the answers. It will be more meaningful that way. I think projects are an excellent way to do this.
Most students love to use technology & there are endless websites with tools to aid teachers in using technology in their teaching. I'm excited about using a lot more technology in my classroom this year!
Project based activities with a multitude of experiences helps keep students at the center of a student centered classroom. Providing self-management tools, as well as keeping an investigative nature keeps the environment fresh.
I hope to have a posted schedule/agenda for the day including pull-out programs (i.e., speech) so students know what is going on. This will help students know what's next or what they might 'miss'. I plan to have pictorial/written instructions at my stations and have peer helpers so students can 'ask three' and help each other. I hope to have classroom access to the internet for websites/blogs/Wikis so the children feel connected and can see things at home. Although I always have a plan, I hope to use brainstorming to be sure that I have/will incorporate the interests and strengths of my students.
I can use technology to support my instructional practices to help keep the environment student centered. Having the students learn and creat various project utilizing technology will help create an energized learning environment. Also, utilizing time management tools, and other technological resources available helps me as a teacher to grow in my facilitation of my subject areas.
I will use lots of hands on activities that will help the students to actively get involved in the learning. We will also use graphic organizers, checklists, and rubrics to help students track their progress and understanding.
We can use technology in music class by finding online interactive worksheets for kids to do using rhythms, recorder fingerings, and music reading. If there is a white board available to use, we can do this either in our classroom, or in the room where the white board is. The students would not be able to to this on their own, but we could do it as a group project.
