The Student-Centered Classroom

About the Presenter

Mark Barnes is a 20-year classroom teacher and creator of the Results Only Learning Environment (ROLE), a progressive, student-centered classroom that eliminates all traditional teaching methods, including grades. While transforming his classroom into a ROLE, Barnes has also revolutionized K–12 web-based instruction by bringing private student websites into his classroom—an extension of school into cyberspace.

    Getting learners to grade themselves - excellent idea. I use Google Docs already for feedback but I hadn't thought of using links within the errors to guide learners further: genius. Using something like http://grmr.me/ alongside would reduce the need to create more learning materials. Definitely worth exploring. Thanks.
