Week+3+-+Developing+Student-Centered+Learning+Activities

We will engage in student-centered learning activities with technology. The supports of multimedia tools to web-capable electronic graphic organizers to programs that help translate content from one medium to another. All of these resources not only help enable an educator delve into variety but also help the educator engage the learner. As we see, today’s learner need more variety, so it is crucial to first establish a goal then plan instruction that gives the learner multiple pathways to achieve their goal. This is where utilizing a UDL, which provides each student an individualized method of teaching that is flexible and designed to support his or her needs. Emphasis is placed on three tools that are used for learning. They are; blogs (writing process) which is considered a natural tool for writing instruction/process. Wikis (collaborative writing), which allows teams to write, revise, update and contribute on a regular basis. And finally, podcasting (student feedback) which allows student to record their reflections, memories and wishes. The following web links can be associated with either student-centered learning activities or teacher resources.
