  6. The question for this session: Given the amazing advances in technology and the dramatic change in the first-year experience, Can we afford to continue teaching the way we were taught?

  7. First, an exercise: Individually, write down five words or short phrases that come to mind when you think of: Student-Centered Learning In pairs or small groups, select three “most important”. Finally, report out just one.

  8. What I know best I have taught… …the individuals learning the most in [the teacher-centered classrooms] are the professors. They have reserved for themselves the very conditions that promote learning: actively seeking new information, integrating it with what is known, organizing it in a meaningful way, and having a chance to explain it to others.
