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.
