The old classroom model simply

does not fit our changing

needs. Its a fundamentally
passive way of learning, while the
world requires more active
processing of information.

THE LEARNERCENTERED CLASSROOM

Learner-Centered Classroom
Focuses on the needs, preferences, and
interests of the learners.
Teachers act as facilitators of the learning
process, providing direction and feedback
rather than just instruction

LEARNER
Demonstrates knowledge in unique ways
Engages actively and participates in
individual and group learning activities

Features of LearnerCentered Classroom

TEACHER

participation and decision making
Encourages learners to think for
themselves

Features of LearnerCentered Classroom

INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

Include learning activities that are personally

relevant to learners

Provide questions and tasks that stimulate

learners thinking beyond rote memorization

Features of LearnerCentered Classroom

CURRICULUM

Organizes content and activities around themes

that are meaningful to learners
Allows learning activities that are global,
interdisciplinary and integrated
Has opportunities for all learners to engage
their higher-order thinking skills

Features of LearnerCentered Classroom

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

Assesses different learners differently

Promotes learners reflection on their growth

as learners through opportunities for selfassessment

Teacher-Centered

Learner-Centered

Focus is on the teacher

Teacher talks, students
listen
Students work alone
Teacher decides on the
lesson
Teacher evaluates
student learning
Classroom is quiet

Focus is on both
students and teachers
Students work in pairs, in
groups, or alone
depending on the
purpose of the activity
Students have some
choice of topics
Students evaluates their
own learning
Classroom is often noisy
and busy

For many years, teachers taught and

students were responsible for
learning the material.
It was the students responsibility
to acquire the knowledge for success.
The primary concern of the teacher
was to impart the knowledge.

Passive Learning
Slabs of Text
Multiple Choice Questions
Few opportunities to apply
knowledge
Cant learn from others
Poor demonstration of skills
Inadequate follow up with face
to face assessment/further
training
High drop out rate/low
engagement

Student learning is the primary

goal of the teacher as opposed to
teaching.
The teacher must motivate the
students to learn, participate,
critically think and successfully
perform in tests.

TEACHER-CENTERED LEARNING
ICT
LEARNER-CENTERED LEARNING

Technology will not have a significant impact on student learning until teachers
change the way they teach.
- Larry Cuban, 1986

ICT in education is a much needed

vehicle of achieving the modern
philosophy of education whereby a
student can decide on:
WHAT he learns
WHEN he learns
WHERE he learns, and
HOW he learns

Enabling new forms of learning

All shapes & sizes

Learners exhibit a
variety of learning styles,
Computer literacy &
attitudes to learning
preferences
Have a Goers
Reflectors
Watchers
Listeners

Cater for them

Reduce reliance on text thru
multimedia
(Audio, Visuals, Video)
Engage learner to think
through online material
(learning activities)
Assess the sharing of
perspectives
Put back industry knowledge

 Technology helps change the

student/teacher roles and
relationships.
Technology cannot teach; only
teachers can teach.
Technology can enhance the
teaching- learning process.

What is Technology integration?

Technology integration is the

use of technology resources -computers, Internet, e-mail,
digital cameras, CD-ROMs,
software applications,
electronic publications, etc. -in daily classroom practices,
and in the management of a
Classroom and school.

 ICTs provide an array of

powerful tools that may help in
transforming the present
isolated teacher-centered and
text - bound classrooms into
rich, student focused,
interactive LEARNERCENTERED CLASSROOM.

Food for thought

Any technology which

increase the rate of
learning would enable the
teacher to teach less and
the learner to learn more

Blogs
A blog is a website for which an individual or a group
frequently generates text, photographs, video or audio
files, and/or links, typically (but not always) on a daily
basis.
The term is a shortened form of weblog.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an
existing blog is called "blogging".
Individual articles on a blog are called "blog posts," "posts," or
"entries".
The person who posts these entries is called a "blogger".

Podcasts
iPod + Broadcast = Podcast
Amateur radio
Podcasting is the method of distributing
multimedia files, such as audio programs or music
videos, over the Internet using either the RSS or
Atom syndication formats, for playback on mobile
devices and personal computers.

Why use podcasts?

Podcasts enable students to share their
knowledge and expertise with others through a
creative outlet.
Podcasts tap into a mode of media input that is
commonplace for digital natives.
Podcasts empower students to form
relationships with the content and each other in
relevant ways.

Why use podcasts?

Podcasting is yet another way for them
[students] to be creating and contributing ideas
to a larger conversation, and its a way of
archiving that contribution for future audiences
to use.
Will Richardson, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other
Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms

How can podcasts be used?

In the classroom, educators and students
can use podcasts to inform others about
class news, current events, and areas of
interest.
Students can use a podcast forum to
persuade their peers to help others, make
a difference, or try something new.
Podcasts can also be used to edutain
others through creative narratives.

How can podcasts be used?

Podcasts engage students in thinking
critically about their speaking fluency and
communication skills.
The opportunity to create a podcast about
what students would like to discuss and
share with others is extremely motivating.

Searching for Podcasts - iTunes

Subscribing to Podcasts

What is a Wiki?
A wiki is a type of website that allows users
easily to add, remove, or otherwise edit
and change most available content.

How is a Wiki Constructed?

A single page in a wiki is referred to as a
"wiki page", while the entire body of
pages, which are usually highly
interconnected via hyperlinks, is "the
wiki
in effect, a wiki is actually a very simple,
easy-to-use user-maintained database for
searching and creating information.

Are Wikis Safe?

Wikis are generally designed
with the philosophy of making
it easy to correct mistakes,
rather than making it difficult
to make them.

Are Wikis Safe?

Thus while wikis are very open, they
provide a means to verify the
validity of recent additions to the
body of pages.

The most prominent, on almost every

wiki, is the "Recent Changes" pagea
specific list numbering recent edits, or a
list of all the edits made within a given
timeframe.

Tracking Changes

Teacher Presence
The best teachers - according to
students - are those who show their
presence multiple times a week, and
at best, daily.

Other Enduring Benefits

Along with the use of technology there are
certain responsibilities that educators and
students need to follow.
Educators need to instruct students on safe and
acceptable use of technology in and outside of the
classroom.
Not only do students need to learn how to
appropriately research, but also how to safely and
properly share information online.
Allow students to learn first hand about copyright
laws and fair use issues.

CLASS DISPLAY/ WORD WALL

WORD WALL
Why WORD WALL?
Creating a print rich environment that may help students to master
spelling, be familiar with sight words, be reminded of pronunciation
rules (vowels, consonants, diagraphs, blends etc.), review terms and
enrich their vocabulary.

WORD WALL
You can use the entire wall inside your classroom, not
just the bulletin board. You can post sight words
that are currently in use by the class. Change the
words as class goes along in their reading journey.

WORD WALL
Other subject area teachers can put MATH WORDS,
SCIENCE WORDS, HISTORY and other TECHNICAL
TERMS.

WORD WALL
You can simply post the words that student share
every time they have READING session.
Ask them the meanings of those words and use in
their own sentences.

WORD WALL

TEACHERS, REMEMBER:
BASIC SIGHT WORDS SHOULD BE ON THE
WORD WALL RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF
EACH SCHOOL YEAR. JUST SLOWLY TAKE
DOWN THE WORDS THAT HAVE BEEN
MASTERED BY THE STUDENTS AS INDICATED
IN YOUR REGULAR SPELLING TESTS AND
REGULAR WRITING ACTIVITIES.
