This document discusses student-centered learning and creating a tech-friendly environment in education. It contrasts teacher-centered learning, which focuses on lectures and memorization, with student-centered learning, where students take more responsibility for their own learning through real-world, collaborative projects using technology. The document advocates for a student-centered approach and providing a technology-friendly environment where students can discover, organize, and present information using digital tools while still respecting copyright and fair use guidelines.

Creating A Tech Friendly Environment
By: Travis Cash

2. Teacher-Centered vs. Student-Centered
 How do you learn?
 Quite Classroom or Noisy Classroom
 Teacher Lecture or Self-Discovery
 Individual or Collaborate
 Memorization or Problem-Solving

3. Teacher-Centered Learning
 Traditional method
 Lecture
 Note Taking
 Memorization
 Recall
 Teacher focused lessons are:
 Chosen by Teacher
 Developed by Teacher
 Implemented by Teacher

4. Student-Centered Learning
 Old but New
 Formulate
 Collect
 Organize
 Manipulate
 Answer
 Students are more responsible for their own learning

5. Student-Centered Learning
 Student focused lessons are:
 Real World and Real Time
 Technology Literate
 Collaborated with Students
 Focused on student understanding and Interpreting

6. Student-Centered Learning
 Environment
 Classes are Active
 Technology Friendly
 Tech. is used to discover, sort, compute, and present information
 Example
 Student Driven and Teacher Facilitated

7. National Educational Technology Standards
(NETS)
 Creativity & Innovation
 Communication & Collaboration
 Research & Information Fluency
 Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, & Decision Making
 Digital Citizenship
 Technology Operations & Concepts

8. NETS Examples
 Students research and develop a spreadsheet to record and calculate the
relationship between advertising dollars and sales of a particular company
for a one year period. (2,3,5,6)
 Students develop a Website explaining the dangers of childhood obesity and
the steps that can be taken to lower the risks. (2,3,4,5)

9. Technology Integration Problems
 Teachers are not Tech Literate
 Professional Development
 Teachers team with other Teachers
 Limited Technology
 Students bring their own Technology
 Borrow Technology from other sources
 Team with Tech schools or businesses
 Online Tech Support

10. Copyright & Fair Use
