[Devany, Melinda. August, 2005, Why I organized learning centers in my classroom, Teaching Music, pp.44-47]


     In this article, Devany talks about the process she did in her classrooms of organizing things called learning centers. Learning centers can give students different ways and methods to learn about things. Devany used learning centers in music when she mentioned the different "stations" the kids were doing like composing on the composer, rolling composer dice etc. This was an interesting method to learn about.
     I don't have any personal connections to learning centers throughout my schooling with learning centers. The closest I have to anything close to learning centers was doing the stations/free time in kindergarden. 
     I personally agree with the idea of learning centers. I think it is a very new/interesting way to allow students the opportunity to learn. Some students understand lessons teachers try to teach and using learning centers could help the kids understand things through different teaching methods.
