Student-centered or teacher-centered learning:
*The instructional video is teacher-centered. The practice is completed student-centered.*
Student-centered learning:
-
Once they can navigate the software, it is student-centered.
-
Software will analyze “correctness” of the performance.
-
Through teacher settings, students can retake tests until they reach their desired grade.
Opportunity to refine:
-
Student shared performances (I’d use Flip Grid)
