7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoTechnology is changing the way in which we view learning spaces and the personal learning environment of our students because students surf the Internet, Tweet, use Facebook and come up with lots of learning material that a teacher may fail to find single handed for his learners. We as teachers at school need to allow our learners to explore the…[Read more]

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoI overly agree technology can break through classroom walls. Learners can do a lot beyond the classroom. They can join virtual classrooms, Universities etc.
-
Lukia, this is an enriching resource and supports the argument on technology breaking the classroom walls.
Very Well done-
I have liked the group work ideas

For one device in the classroom the best way is to use a projector, that is if there is one. If none then grouping learners can be handy.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoWhereas construction of suitable classroom space provides for benefits such as flexibility and collaboration, it may also have few challenges.

Well Stephen…….. Do you find any advantages in creating a learning space that is flexible and at the same time allows flexibility? Leave for the anticipated challenges……
-
Meant space enough to accommodate multiple activities.
-
-
Yes Mr. Otikori, given adequate commitment to integrating ICT, dont you think that forexample audio chats arouse interest in learning, and build up cognitive skills, emotionally goodlearners?
-
Right,
My stand point here is the aspect of attitudinal change in our traditional teachers being a challenge.
-
-
Well, such anticipated challenges should fiercely be remedified to open acess to new ways of getting things done in the class room, the modern way.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoConstruction is still largely dictated by “teacher in classroom” scenario. With devices like tablets, all that may be necessary is a rooftop to guard against rain!
-
Emma,
This ok with me as well. Yes teacher based on whatever approaches teacher intended. My feel is that we insist on a kind architecture that will prevent not only the rain but dust, wind noise etc.-
I would consider that for the existing hardware but would advocate for virtue learning spaces the way to go. more so this wiuld involve parents more in learning. Simply because some parents dont want their childrento access Internetbecause of fear to adopt bad cultures. But if Principal informs all parents about the Virtual school learning…[Read more]

Yes! what ever happens inside there, an environment that is free from noise, wind, rain is highly recommended.

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.
-
That comes with a lot of sensitization and it begins with us the converted.
-
Sure Emma, but it may not come easily just like Patrick notes, a lot of sensitization to many stakeholders.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoMobile and personal technology is transforming the way learning spaces are used and configured. Traditionally learning spaces were aligned with student desks and chairs (or benches) in rows facing the front of the classroom, often secured to the floor. Obviously this arrangement supported passive learning and methods of direct instruction but…[Read more]
-
Charles in addition to the collaboration and the possibility of the environment being flexible ,i have also taken note of the idea of he
variation of furniture you are arguing for. This in a similar way also
allows for the flexibility suitability to the different forms of spaces we are advocating for. -
I agree with the need to redisign and change the setting of the learning spaces as technology more technologies come in place to support the teaching – learning process.
The flexibility allows room for adapting and adopting new pedagogies within the same working space for example the use of group work, cooperative learning, research work and i…[Read more]

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.
