Sec. B Ch. 1 Pt. 4 - Podcast

Sec. B. Ch. 2 Pt. 1 - Student Notes


CHAPTER 2
Instruction & Learning
Teacher-Centered
-Deals with planning, delivering, learning and instruction
-Computer as a design tool
-Computer for the design of hard copies
-Computer for projection

Student-Centered
   The computer is an information tool used to create, access, retrieve, manipulate & transmit information.
   Students use the computer on an “as needed” basis
   Students connect with anyone, anywhere, anytime
   Teachers are no longer the only source of information
   Student is the creator, builder, and disseminator of the knowledge. NOT the teacher.

Sec. B. Ch. 1 Pt. 4 - Student Notes


EDIT NOTES- 90% of information at college level is SELF DIRECTED!

Perception-how you view something.
You view: people, your surroundings, the world!
You view with your senses: smell, touch, sight, hearing, taste
Perception is not absolute its relative: changes with every person. Perception about things changes over time with our experiences.
Learning is most concrete when there is a number of connections.
Active learning strategies help kids remember.
Procedural memory a.k.a muscle memory: riding a bike, walking, holding a pencil, tying your shoes, skating, driving a standard vehicle.
