Assignment #2 - ==== Based on my own experience I believe technology is a great asset in all teaching. For learner based teaching it really helps students to be more comfortable with the tools they are used to working with every day. Having helped create and currently implementing an online hairstyling program I see firsthand how using technology can dramatically change the way we learn. The moodle website incorporates some discussions, blogging, quizzes, and video presented learning. The program has an extensive learning management system to guide you through the entire program. Students upload their work practice to flickr and I am able to get a detailed view of their work so I can comment and mark them. ====

At my College I am slowing trying to increase learner centered activities. I have found that while I was, and am learning to teach I get better at the task by having to break it down and share it with others.

Assignment #4 - April 14, flipped classroom reflection. The flipped classroom is set up to have students prepare for the following day at home through video or other assignment methods. I spent little time reading about it however I feel I have good experience utilizing the technique already even though it is not quite the same structure I feel it is still the same principal. I offer an online Hairstyling program at my College and it is basically all done the same as a flipped classroom. The students watch the videos and recreate the tasks they are learning. On occasion they will come to class for extra help or if they have accomplished the work they take pictures, upload and send them to me via flickr. I then mark it, comment and they can go back and read the mark. The students get a lot of preliminary work done in the 5 months that they are at home so they have some coordination and knowledge for the month they will then attend classes to learn and master haircutting. Then we can devote our time to hands on client work. My on Campus students also have access to the videos and this also allows more time for me to give them the hands on help they require rather than doing demo after demo after demo. Because new students are able to start the course monthly they are all learning different parts of the course at the same time. **wikipedia - please include a link for your reading source - Thanks! - EB**

 * Wade - Thank you for presenting I like how you looked for ways to solve for the disadvantages!**


 * Assignment #7-**
 * April 20, role playing. We do some role playing in the Hairstyling program mostly when formulating hair color. There is so much information and learning with that segment of the program that it takes a lot of practice to actually understand what to do and why the results are what they are. We have a formulation sheet in which we assess what we have, where we want to go, and how to get there. We use students heads and go through the motions on each other to learn the information and the process. Then I go around and help where needed and critique the learning. We do not use a lot of role playing in other areas of the course because I teach my students to cut hair in their second month. After 3 mannequin cuts they are right onto people so the role of the stylist is on full force. In the first month of the program the students work some on each other as well as start on styling of clients hair so again right into their roles from the beginning.**


 * April 29, Assignment # 8**

media type="custom" key="22908512" May 2, Learner centered approaches. Elaine- I thought Elain was well organized and the information was easy to follow. Creative ways to learn maybe not so interesting material. Michele- I like how you included cultural factors in your learning plan. Marnie - Having an auction for a role play sounds awesome. I think that will go over very well! I think you may still want to have some form of evaluation so the students are more serious. Melodie - I love the idea of how to learn how to be more creative. That would be very useful in my programs. So well prepared and knowledgeable on this presentation. Michael - The nursing program is so great for implementing different learner centered approaches. Comfort between the client and nurse is so important. Well presented and nice way to switch up your teaching Micheal Roxanne - Role playing is great to learn client interaction. I may have to look at digital story telling in my program, I think it would be fun. Barry - Barry has come far in using the theories when it is all new to him. He appears to have a good understanding.
