Yes, there is a lot of collaboration when learning using technology. The sitting arrangement in the classroom needs to be constructed to support the collaboration which is a key characteristic of learning using technology. There is also need to structure the classrooms with power sources that will supply the technology during use.

I agree with you Stephen. With the emergence of technology in teaching/learning, the learning spaces have to be constructed in such a way to take care of the technology. The use of technology requires collaboration, active engagement with the technology, movement with the classroom space, etc, all of which will require a carefully constructed…[Read more]

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 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]

I agree with you Julius that the old pedagogy can not work with the new technologies. Over 2000 years ago Jesus Christ said “new wine can not be put in old wine skin; but new wine is for new wine skin” The mobile revolution in schools poses a potential for learning only if we can use the devices not to mechanize and standardize learning, but to…[Read more]

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoI teach in a Teachers’ College that trains Secondary school teachers in Uganda. The rate at which the possession of mobile devices has proliferated in the recent past poses a great opportunity for the use of the mobile devices for learning purposes. At least 80% of the students possess smart phones, a good number has tablets, MP3 potable media p…[Read more]

You have Saïd it Charles, teachers in fact must use new technologies and Harness it in thé way it is meant to ne used ie interactively , this will d’or sûre engage them and cause
authentic learning. -
Accurate analysis Charles, what we need to do as teachers and curriculum developers is to re-align our pedagogical approaches to match with the current technological advances so that we can make use of mobile devices to enhance learning. in this way we shall avoid substitution but rather move on to augmentation and even re-definition.

how I wish that possession of those technology gadgets would be true with primary and secondary. it would do the same to those teachers too.
-
Charles,
Am of the same belief that the new can work with the old ways. Just wanted you to reflect over the following questions:
-What are the old ways in teaching?
-What are the old ways in learning?
Despite the proliferation of devices think what is vital for new vs old to work is much more emphasis on how the two should be streamlined/…[Read more]

I wish to agree with Mr. Bulamba that the current way mobile technologies are integrated in teaching is like doing new things in old ways. The very old pedagogies are still being used to teach using the mobile devices. However, I see good potential for learning using the mobile devices if pedagogy can be changed to suit the new wave of mobile…[Read more]

2.6.1 Killing Creativity
It is indeed true that creativity is stigmatized in schools. My schools taught me to do everything in a uniform manner with the rest of the students in the school. No deviation was encouraged whether for the good or the bad. We were taught handwriting to write in a similar fashion. If you deviated and wrote differently,…[Read more] -

How far? Kaliro is now done. Since you have very close association with us, you sh’d also be winding up. Wish you luck dear. -

Yes, sure in addition to the research programmatic requirements of the space, such as:
Group work or individual study?
Noisy or quiet?
Can the space be reserved?
Will staff require frequent access and/or views into the space?
Is the technology fixed or mobile?
How long will the average user be in the space?
Room size and shape.
Desirability of…[Read more]
