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.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoTraditional classrooms are restrictive and sometimes limits the learner greatly.This cite looks at linking spaces without walls and provides great insight to the topic of discussion thereof.

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.

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.

Geoffrey Kateregga posted an update in the group
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.

It’s a short article about breaking down the walls. Check out the discussion below it highlighting some of the challenges!
http://www.deltapublishing.co.uk/development/breaking-down-the-walls-of-the-classroom
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
