7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoThe contradiction of learners engaging and learning with technology away from school, only to be told to put away their technologies at school in order to “learn” should be seriously addressed and resolved.

I agree with you Stephen. With the emergence of technology in teaching/learning, the learning spaces have to be constructed in such a way to take care of the technology. The use of technology requires collaboration, active engagement with the technology, movement with the classroom space, etc, all of which will require a carefully constructed…[Read more]

Yes, sure in addition to the research programmatic requirements of the space, such as:
Group work or individual study?
Noisy or quiet?
Can the space be reserved?
Will staff require frequent access and/or views into the space?
Is the technology fixed or mobile?
How long will the average user be in the space?
Room size and shape.
Desirability of…[Read more]

I agree with you Stephen about the the need to actually set standards within institutions. It implies there is a plan to fit future expectations within certain bounds and interests of both the teachers and students.

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?

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.

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