great
-
its now time to define and find out the exact role of technology in teaching, many schools are not using it the way its supposed to be.
-
Great insight provided.

-
This is a very good article about breaking down the walls

How then in our context do we break down the walls with the attendant school constructions going on, archaic curricula, etc.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoTechnology opens up space for both teachers and learners. It’s possible for students to learn outside the walls of a physical classroom as long as they have a tech tool and connectivity. It’s also true that a teacher can also teach a larger class beyond the boundaries of classroom walls with ease!! Think about CCTI.
-
CCTI is a very good example of breaking classroom walls
-
True when technology is used properly, most places can turn into learning spaces.
-
And… I have a virtual friend… Hi Prossy! I can reach you on phone , using whatssap or email or through this platform. You are nearer than you and I think . No barriers . No walls.
-
True Prossy now we have the potential to manage our large number of learners in classes
-
-
Connectivity is really one key issues for breaking down the walls. Once a connection is set, expect to explore provided the needed resoureces are fully available.

This explains that learning can occur anywhere and that properly designed learning spaces can develop the learners’ creativity. -

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.

Walter, I think the 1st one is not necessarily about learning outside the classroom walls, but rather the relationships between home, school and the community.

i thought so long us are using it outside the classroom walls, you have already broken the walls Prossy
