http://edtechnology.co.uk/Article/is-a-reboot-of-blended-learning-required
This resource illustrates how blended learning has been given a new face and a new outlook: Digital classrooms are not a supplement to the physical classrooms; instead, digital platforms should be seen as the key to expand the learning environment…[Read more]-
This site has given me more insight about blended learning.

Cheers Nellie, I like it, the classroom loses its walls but, bingo! It is more exciting and more engaging to the learner!

This site explains how two teachers and their students use technology (Chromebooks, GAFE, digital resources) to break down barriers and do things otherwise not possible. According to them learning is not about answers, but about thinking and working with others in…[Read more]-
I think this resource will enrich our understanding on breaking the walls concept.

in fact once this is put into practice. the coaching and cramming of answers so that students pass exams will come to an end.

Students are given opportunity to lead their teachers with their knowledge and interest in reaching beyond the classroom.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoPhysical space must be changed because schools are still very much constrained by some of the following issues:
1. Working conditions: such as optimal lighting or ergonomics for sitting, writing, reading or listening, are not sufficiently addressed;
2. Purchasing decisions and location of new technologies: often constrained by district…[Read more]-
From the link given i have actually learnt that space designed to allow for several activities is reason to give learners chance to carry out more projects compared to the traditional set-up.
-
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.
-
-
From the shared link, I get points that emphasize factors that limit the adjustment and redesigning of learning spaces. True and they are common to many of our school situations.
However we need to share information on what basis or factors do justify the need for the learning spaces to be redesigned at certain points Jackie. What is your take? -
Thanks for the observation! There is need to improve on those areas highlighted which all encompass physical environment if we are make headway in technology integration.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoThe main activity is on line which means that activity takes place with just a device connected to internet; physical reconstruction is not necessary for one to connect a device to the internet and begin to collect, share and build knowledge outside the four walled classrooms.
To exist online we do not have to reconstruct our physical environment…[Read more]-
internet is an important aspect in learning beyond the classroom walls
-
Edward this is a wonderful post. Teaching using online resources does not only break down the walls but it is also another avenue to let learners collaborate.
-
collaborate and access a variety of information, where they can study, analyse and select the most appropriate information
-
-
But in the real sense of it more learning now takes place out side the classroom than inside of it.

Hi Ben,
At what level and in which context?

I have this to consolidate the argument:

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoPhysical spaces need to be constructed for effective technology integration. Students need adequate space if we are to guide them on task and also when sharing with others. Collaboration is not only online but also physical and socially

Thank you Jackie,
I come in to say that actually human dynamics are key to work space design. -
I do agree with you Jackie with this. In reality allowing room for both online and physically interactions by any kind of design is itself flexibility. We have to think through plans and settings that allow more of these adjustments gradually.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoThis is about how a teacher in the UK and his class passed out of the 4 walls of their classroom in a new and exciting way using technology. A real experience! Through Connecting Classrooms Community they were able to connect to a class in Brazil. later on the teacher in Brazil used a classroom ‘card’so that the students in UK were visually…[Read more]

Robert Pennington explains how he is implementing technology to extend learning outside the classroom. it’s in form of a blog post.

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.
