| Student Learning Station (SLS) |  |  | | At Student Learning Stations students work independenty or in small groups |
Any classroom can have a Student Learning Station. All you need is a
computer. The key is to set up and manage the SLS so students can be
working independently or in small groups while the teacher is busy with
other students. With a little planning and a system to manage the
students' time at the SLS, the computer almost becomes a "second
teacher' in the classroom. Students are on task and enganged at the SLS.
Teachers can take advantage of the thousands of free skill building
activities on the internet. With an internet connected computer there
is no need to buy software for students to practice the content area
skills they need to work on.
Productity tools such as AppleWorks or Inspiration can be used to
create projects and lessons that take advantage of the technology to
increase student achievement.
The SLS can be used as a quick resource center for the classroom. Quick
links to an online dictionary or encyclopedia can help students to
quickly find what they are looking for. Teachers can manage what they
want their students to access on the internet by setting up their own
student page using the Urban Planet tool. Look here for an example.
