Very good observations Esther

Good observation ESther, technology promotes the creation of PLN and this goes along way in breaking down the wall.

all those points show the power and potential of technology. its time to think virtual

This almost summarizes everything, good points Esther

Once there is connectivity and internet, learning can go out of the classroom.

you have real carried out research. this some great work Margaret

This is a good site Margrate. It gives tips on how to create learning spaces.

I like the emphasis on the importance of informal learning spaces.

The idea of integrating furniture that can be moved around easily and put in various configurations to accommodate different groupings is excellent.

once we copy a leaf from all these sites, we shall have beautiful learning spaces which will automatically motivate our learners

its real, teaching with technology. because its quite rich in technology enhanced pedagogical paradigms

This one almost gives all the possible learnig space.

True, it offers a variety.

I have liked the view ‘Make every space a leerning space’ in this resource.

I like that aspect of networked and collaborative learning spaces bringing the world to the classroom and vice versa.

Yeah. A very good resource I also came across this but I found that you had already posted it.

this is an educative site, however
my prayer is technology to be available to all school going age.
we shall have a wonderful learning space for all.

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.

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.

Maggie, I like that idea of being able to use available space within (more creatively) and without as long as there is connectivity.

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.

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.

With all these mobile devises available they can continue working away from class.

good
we shall be waiting

Ok Edward.

Great, Still waiting!

Very right Edward. It’s true the classroom walls are not physically broked down.

Of course breaking down the walls is figuratively used to refer to the act of extending learning beyond the traditional Classroom by the use of technology.
