Reflecting on GenYES program

GenYes program is a pure learner-centered program, where learners are envoloved in writing the content of their learning, specifing tools and prosedures for teaching and many more.. I think giving learners this much of control over their learning is a good idea, but students involved in this program should be choosed carefully according to specific characteristics such as: self-deciplin self-responsibility high motivation high IQ and other.. Another point is that, learners will gain many powerfull skills through this program such as teamworking, planing, time management,.. This program is usefull for teachers as well as students, because it gives them a chance to develop their skills in integrating technology in the classroom. Final word.. GenYes program is realy powerfull, beneficial program that apply learner-centered appeoach very well..
