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 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 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoI do agree that walls shouldnt physically be broken down but insteady creating learning spaces which allow learing take place any where anytime. On this web site there is many ways of how this can be done

Thanks Julius. This is a rich site. It gives detailed information on how to go about incorporating technologies, what e-learning entails and its advantages and constraints. It shows how technology brings down walls.
-
Good work Julius. In this cite i have got insights on the virtual teaching and learning environments.
-
VITLE allows one to teach in a virtual classroom and makes teaching easy for non-technical teachers.
-
Good site. Thanks.

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

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.
