Students in Mrs. Leiker's Intro to Programming course are using 21st Century Skills to complete projects related to real world topics and issues this week that require collaboration, communication & critical thinking.
Mrs. Leiker's courses incorporate Student-Centered Learning in numerous ways. Rather than a traditional approach to teaching, Student-Centered Teaching makes students active rather than passive learners. These methods shift the focus of activity from the teacher to the learners. Projects in this format assure positive interdependence and individual accountability. Students are presented with challenges (problems and projects) and learn the course material in the context of addressing the challenges. This discovery and problem-based learning methodology has repeatedly been shown to be superior to the traditional teacher-centered approach to instruction.
Mrs. Leiker's courses are flexible and naturally designed to incorporate Universal Design for Learning. All students have equal opportunities to learn through various methods. Mrs. Leiker's students are encouraged to communicate their learning style via edmodo registration and are allowed opportunities to turn in work at a pace that works for them. All resources, assignments and projects from Mrs. Leiker's courses are available online from any web enabled device and include many different multimedia forms of presentation and assessment. Review questions, for example, can be turned in via written format or taken via quiz format. Mrs. Leiker also provides retests on every assessment in the course to assure that students have sufficient opportunities to master the material. Use the button link above or the video below for more information about UDL.
Mrs. Leiker is starting to integrate adaptive learning methods into her courses using technology. In adaptive learning, technology can be programmed and used to interactively modify lessons, quizzes, tests and assignments to accommodate the learning level and style of the student. In this way, students can have a truly tailored education in order to best learn the concepts presented. With the availability of technology, this method is surely going to revolutionize education in time.
