http://web.mit.edu/edtech/themes/learningspaces.html
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. -

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.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agotechnology brings a community learning system in nature. its broad, students can learn, interact, collaborate, relate, connect, access information beyond the walls of a classroom. hence breaking classroom walls
-
True Walter. If they can do all this without being pressured to stick to the traditional ways, even those walls they see will cease to cause them any discomfort. Hence breaking the walls.
-
exactly
-
-
So true walter, the students are infact given a challenge to think out of the box!
-
True Walter. It’s not physical breaking down of the walls but rather the flexibilty that comes with technology allowing learning to take place beyond the confines of the classroom.
-
they always advice us always to think outside the box and this is what all this is about
-
-
With all these mobile devises available they can continue working away from class.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoMy position is you do not really need to bring down the physical walls to integrate technology into learning. Technology and innovative learning design can break down classroom walls in a virtual sense and that is sufficient for social learning styles of the future. My reasons will follow soon.
-
good
we shall be waiting -
Ok Edward.
-
Great, Still waiting!
-
Very right Edward. It’s true the classroom walls are not physically broked down.
-
Of course breaking down the walls is figuratively used to refer to the act of extending learning beyond the traditional Classroom by the use of technology.
-
Willex, it may also refer to using the available space within the same walls or institution more creatively or better.
