7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoUsing technology, the learners can reach out to more information, get in touch with social communities, and social platforms that exist in the global network. That way, they do not feel caged in the classroom even if they are carrying out their activities within those walls. They get to sit as they think would best offer them comfortable learning.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoBreaking the walls does not necessarily mean breaking the physical walls. It means being able to learn in groups, and pairs without necessarily being in traditional sitting formation or havingnthe teacher as the center of knowledge and learning. It means being able to use whatever available space there is within the four walls and without. It is…[Read more]
-
in groups and by use of technology, learners learn how to research and design new technologies and media that deliver powerful teaching and promote engaged learning
-
Breaking the walls simply means that classrooms should support the activities of effective learning: that is, situated, collaborative, and active learning.
-
You are right Maggaret. breakind down the walls also encompasses accessing technonolgy by using internet connected devices so that learning can take place anywhere. Students can get everything they need to assist them in their learning journey.
-
You rightly put Margaret. However, we must ensure they we help break down the walls, it is not merely substitution but move towards the high ladder of augmentation and redefinition.
-
I agree Willex, if it’s just mere substitution without functional change we shall just be in “old things, old ways”
-
-
Maggie, I like that idea of being able to use available space within (more creatively) and without as long as there is connectivity.

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoAfter reading the article about the use of mobile phones in learning and how it is spreading like bush fire among our 21st century learners, I have been convinced that our teaching must be tailored to the way our learners can understand. Even though it is still a gimmick in our secondary schools for any learner to carry and use a mobile phone in…[Read more]

Sulaiman,
This is the greatest of problems we faced in the teaching and learning process. To me any thing that distracts attention among learners is what i may refer to as problem behavior. These are issues as referred to in our task 3. The question is managing these issues.

Thank you Stephen

It should not worry a teacher that the student has read ahead! That should be encouraged.

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoThe learners can explore the internet information on their own and gather more information about a topic.
Even in their groups, they could still be encouraged to start up their own libraries of information on topics or tasks assigned to them by their teachers. -

7.3 2 – old things and new ways – one technology device in the classroom 9 years, 5 months agoWith only one technology device in class, the teacher can still go ahead and put the learners in smaller groups and allocate each group enough time to use the device. The device would therefore have to be shared and a schedule has to be put in place that all groups should adhere to.
