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 agoThanks colleagues. I have joined late but let me add my voice to the argument that it is not necessary to create new spaces just for the sake of integrating technology in teaching and learning. Through virtual learning we can be able to break classroom walls. For example through virtual field trips students have the chance to learn, interact and…[Read more]

some brief information about them?
-
In this article it shows that for a start learners might not be able to learn independent of a teacher. It advocates for blended learning.
A virtual classroom session once in a while would suffice.-
great

-
That first resourse is so nice. Virtual classes can be conducted anywhere and in so doing allowing us to break down the walls.
-
-
Yes the issue is not so much about creating new physical spaces than it is about creating virtual spaces.

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 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.

Elianna Liscombe shares about how to break down the walls.She echoes the concerns of the teachers about using technology to extend the classroom and suggests possible solutions to some of the challenges.

Connecting classrooms is a very good case of breaking down the walls. Nice article.

Is a good example to learn from.

It’s a short article about breaking down the walls. Check out the discussion below it highlighting some of the challenges!

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.

this site was given earlier by Margaret, however it was a great site

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.

Thank Willex. In one resource (https://www.edutopia.org/blog/visualizing-21st-century-classroom-design-mary-wade ) Mary Wade encourages us teachers to utilise the existing classrooms and turning them into 21st Century classrooms. She outlines elements of 21 Century classrooms and shows how teachers can visualize and implement them.
