7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 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 Construction group 9 years, 5 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, 5 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.

This is another great resource that gives 5 innovative ways in ways how technology is breaking down the walls of the classroom
-
Thanks Geoffrey. Site is rich with information on classroom learning and technology and it also has links. Most importantly it tells of how technology supports learning beyond the four walls.
-
Thanks for your contribution.The cite gives insight on extending learning beyond the classroom.
-
I am amused by the contrast of going to school on the first day then and now. Time will come when you can attend school on the first day from your bedroom using a mobile tech tool and say hi Tutor!!!!!
-
Wonderful resource. It does not only talk about breaking down the walls, it goes on to tell us other wonderful practices like classes becoming collaborative.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoWith technology, classrooms are becoming more collaborative. With classroom technology students can collaborate with other students and their teachers in and outside of the classroom quickly and easily.
-
True Geoffrey. The collaboration goes past the walls and makes them nonexistent
-
I agree with you Geoffrey. They are not limited by time too. Any time any where they can study.
They enables students to remain engaged. -
True Geoffrey and Marg. Include the following: Technology promotes self-directed learning,provides far more access to many students bringing about a universal connectivity.

This explains that learning can occur anywhere and that properly designed learning spaces can develop the learners’ creativity. -
Twaha Semwogerere posted an update in the group
7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoI also take the view that classroom walls do not have to be physically broken down. Learning can take place anywhere with technology using internet connected devices. Any space can be turned into a learning space e.g. homes, museums, playgrounds, field excursion, green spaces, auditoriums, computer labs, public spaces, learning centers, courtyards, etc.
-
It is true TWaha, one way of breaking the walls by flipping the classes. Gone are the days when could only be accessed only in the classroom. Thanks to technology.
-
I also agree.Technology has opened up space making it possible for learning to occur anywhere.

This site of an institution (MIT) has different sections that deal with learning spaces, learning methods and classroom designs. Things that would be good for one to look at and borrow the methods and designs where possible.-
once we copy a leaf from all these sites, we shall have beautiful learning spaces which will automatically motivate our learners
