The elements that learner-centered instruction should contain what the students are interested in, their backgrounds and any experiences they may have about what is being discussed. A learner-centered activity for a class could be: the teacher would play a sound of a letter and a child would have to hunt for an item in the room that begins with that sound. The elements that knowledge-centered instructions should contain would be information to help the student learn. They should understand what they are learning. Two types of assessments that should be included in assessment-centered instructions are Summative and Formative Assessments. Community centeredness is important to student learning because it allows us to create a safe environment for everyone. When you are in a safe environment you are more comfortable, which can allow you to learn with ease. I worked with young children and when their environment is friendly and safe they open up to you. If they have an open mind then you can fill it with knowledge. I think you can do evaulate your instruction at anytime and it would be beneficial to do it on a regular basis. You can ask your students or peers for their suggestions.

Goals For EDU271
My main goal would be to learn all about technology skills survey. I'm not sure what this is all about, but I hope that I figure it out soon!!! I am looking to learn more about technology. There is so much that I have yet to learn and I look forward to any challenges that lye ahead. Creating the blog was a little confusing for me because I have never done it, but I expect that it will be something that I will continue to use even after this course is finished. I am a little overwhelmed at the moment with this course. It feels like a lot of information all at once.
