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.

This is another great resource that gives 5 innovative ways in ways how technology is breaking down the walls of the classroom
-
Thanks Geoffrey. Site is rich with information on classroom learning and technology and it also has links. Most importantly it tells of how technology supports learning beyond the four walls.
-
Thanks for your contribution.The cite gives insight on extending learning beyond the classroom.
-
I am amused by the contrast of going to school on the first day then and now. Time will come when you can attend school on the first day from your bedroom using a mobile tech tool and say hi Tutor!!!!!
-
Wonderful resource. It does not only talk about breaking down the walls, it goes on to tell us other wonderful practices like classes becoming collaborative.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoWith technology, classrooms are becoming more collaborative. With classroom technology students can collaborate with other students and their teachers in and outside of the classroom quickly and easily.
-
True Geoffrey. The collaboration goes past the walls and makes them nonexistent
-
I agree with you Geoffrey. They are not limited by time too. Any time any where they can study.
They enables students to remain engaged. -
True Geoffrey and Marg. Include the following: Technology promotes self-directed learning,provides far more access to many students bringing about a universal connectivity.

This explains that learning can occur anywhere and that properly designed learning spaces can develop the learners’ creativity. -
Twaha Semwogerere posted an update in the group
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

Margaret Sserabidde posted an update in the group
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.
-
so long as it is flexible.
it will even encourage creativity amongst the learners -
True Margaret. It also opens them to wider audience and enables them to share their experiences with others.

I also agree. There is a wider audience than just a classroom one.

-
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.

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.
