Student Centered Learning Strategies by Jackie Herring https://padlet.com/jackiesshootingstar/4kypsnaqbbkrzzpc Group 1 - Jihyoung Kang, Katherine Lee, Dana MacLean, Jackie Herring en-us 2021-04-16 05:01:21 UTC 2021-04-24 23:35:21 UTC hello@padlet.com How could you design the physical environment of the classroom, including technology, to be conducive to student-centered learning? Alternately, how would you design the learning tool kit of your students’ online learning environment? jackiesshootingstar https://padlet.com/jackiesshootingstar/4kypsnaqbbkrzzpc/wish/1424182994 - Instead of sitting at desks in rows, students could sit in a circle to facilitate discussion.
- Technology could be used individually (i.e. each student uses their phone or specialized apps to submit assignments)
- Teachers film their lessons so that students can re-watch at their own pace, pause, take notes and absorb it before moving on.
- Start a collaborative class blog where students can post their thoughts and opinions on topics in their own time.
- Move desks to create groups of desks (2-4) to promote collaboration
- Computers can used by students on a rotational basis, to allow for individual work
- Provide a good Learning Management System for online learning (Google Classroom)

- Fishbowl (inner and outer circles for class discussion)
- Project-based learning (facilities thinking skills)
- Group assignments to problem solve or complete a task
- Assigning Roles for Group Work
- Big Paper: Building a Silent Conversation

- Formal testing assessment results can drive teaching lesson plans to focus more on where students need additional assistance
- Personal assessments give teachers insight on how a student learns and can use that information to better engage students
- Student Process Portfolios
