7.4 Construction group 9 years, 8 months agoThese spaces should be able to support the learners individually, in small groups, as a whole class and in larger groups. more insight found here, sample in Newzealand http://www.education.govt.nz/school/property/state-schools/design-standards/flexible-learning-spaces/

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoTechnology is changing the way in which we view learning spaces and the personal learning environment of our students because students surf the Internet, Tweet, use Facebook and come up with lots of learning material that a teacher may fail to find single handed for his learners. We as teachers at school need to allow our learners to explore the…[Read more]

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoI overly agree technology can break through classroom walls. Learners can do a lot beyond the classroom. They can join virtual classrooms, Universities etc.

Lukia, this is an enriching resource and supports the argument on technology breaking the classroom walls.
Very Well done-
I have liked the group work ideas

For one device in the classroom the best way is to use a projector, that is if there is one. If none then grouping learners can be handy.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 8 months agoConstruction is still largely dictated by “teacher in classroom” scenario. With devices like tablets, all that may be necessary is a rooftop to guard against rain!
-
Emma,
This ok with me as well. Yes teacher based on whatever approaches teacher intended. My feel is that we insist on a kind architecture that will prevent not only the rain but dust, wind noise etc.-
I would consider that for the existing hardware but would advocate for virtue learning spaces the way to go. more so this wiuld involve parents more in learning. Simply because some parents dont want their childrento access Internetbecause of fear to adopt bad cultures. But if Principal informs all parents about the Virtual school learning…[Read more]

Yes! what ever happens inside there, an environment that is free from noise, wind, rain is highly recommended.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoThe contradiction of learners engaging and learning with technology away from school, only to be told to put away their technologies at school in order to “learn” should be seriously addressed and resolved.
-
That comes with a lot of sensitization and it begins with us the converted.
-
Sure Emma, but it may not come easily just like Patrick notes, a lot of sensitization to many stakeholders.

Whether sooner or later, the issue must be addressed.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 8 months agoMobile and personal technology is transforming the way learning spaces are used and configured. Traditionally learning spaces were aligned with student desks and chairs (or benches) in rows facing the front of the classroom, often secured to the floor. Obviously this arrangement supported passive learning and methods of direct instruction but…[Read more]

Charles in addition to the collaboration and the possibility of the environment being flexible ,i have also taken note of the idea of he
variation of furniture you are arguing for. This in a similar way also
allows for the flexibility suitability to the different forms of spaces we are advocating for. -
I agree with the need to redisign and change the setting of the learning spaces as technology more technologies come in place to support the teaching – learning process.
The flexibility allows room for adapting and adopting new pedagogies within the same working space for example the use of group work, cooperative learning, research work and i…[Read more]

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoThanks colleagues. I have joined late but let me add my voice to the argument that it is not necessary to create new spaces just for the sake of integrating technology in teaching and learning. Through virtual learning we can be able to break classroom walls. For example through virtual field trips students have the chance to learn, interact and…[Read more]

some brief information about them?

In this article it shows that for a start learners might not be able to learn independent of a teacher. It advocates for blended learning.
A virtual classroom session once in a while would suffice.-
great

That first resourse is so nice. Virtual classes can be conducted anywhere and in so doing allowing us to break down the walls.
-
-
Yes the issue is not so much about creating new physical spaces than it is about creating virtual spaces.
