Learning Centers

Ahh yes the fabled learning center. I was amazed at how many people showed up the night before they were due to work on them. I thought I was the only one that procrastinated but I was wrong. I do however think I was by far the biggest procrastinator on account I did not start on it until that night. I got to Knapp Hall at around 7:30 pm and did not leave until 4:30 am. In that time period not only did I finish my Learning Center but I finished 2 pots of coffee and a pizza.

Even though I started on mine the night before it was due. I think it turned out rather nice. My Learning Center was titled "Basic Electronics" I chose to do electronics because I figured I could get enough content out of it to make an effective learning center. My color scheme is blue, which is pretty obvious from the picture.

I actually enjoyed doing the learning center. It put me in control of what I was going to teach and forced me to think what the students would see and how they would interpret the directions. I think I did a decent job of giving directions. I really did enjoy this.

I believe the point of doing a learning center was to get us to really think in depth about how we tell directions and how others interpret them.
