How can I facilitate a student-centered classroom?
I try to do things to get my students to take the lead, whether it's having them explain how to do problems, or having them work together to figure out why a formular works or doesn't work. Part of that is having a good repoire with students so that my classroom is a safe environment for everyone to risk and fail.
How can I use technology to support my instructional practice?
There are a plethora of instructional videos and internet resources that can help with instruction. I often use Ideal and/or Discovery Streaming. These also make the information more interesting to the students. There are interactive activities that are a fun way for students to practice their skills. I use Study Island all of the time. This is even available to students at home. There are lessons, tests, and a game mode for students to use. I am also fortunate enought to have a Smartboard in my room. Students love to do interactive activities and games.
