Hands-on activities

Inclusion of some hands-on activities using locally available materials as an important aspect of Learner-Centred Education will help to improve the course content.

I quite agree with you. That will facilitate group discussion and learners learn better when they do and when they talk.

I agree, Bashiru. Monitoring is a crucial role of the teacher in any classroom and for that reason, in the learner-centred classroom. For a range of reasons, and you provide us with the first one:

To prevent learners from going the wrong way, so to check that instructions have been understood and everybody is on track

I will add two of my favourite reasons:

To support learners who have difficulties for any reason
To challenge learners so that they can all achieve their potential.

Please, everybody, feel free to add other reasons to the list of why monitoring is important

Integrating technology into hand-on activities

Can we have examples of the locally available materials.

I think we should be talking about how we can integrate technology into any hand-on activity to make the digital.

Integrating technology into hands-on activities

I agree with you. What would be the best way to use technology as a hands on resource in the classroom keeping in mind devices like cell phones are not allowed in schools and they are the most available devices with multiple function?
