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.

Great!

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoThis site is about breaking down the walls of the classroom and offers suggestions on how this can be done.

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.

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.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoI do agree that walls shouldnt physically be broken down but insteady creating learning spaces which allow learing take place any where anytime. On this web site there is many ways of how this can be done
http://www.encyclopedia.com/telecommunications/educational-magazines/virtual-integrated-teaching-and-learning-environment-vitle-
Thanks Julius. This is a rich site. It gives detailed information on how to go about incorporating technologies, what e-learning entails and its advantages and constraints. It shows how technology brings down walls.
-
Good work Julius. In this cite i have got insights on the virtual teaching and learning environments.

VITLE allows one to teach in a virtual classroom and makes teaching easy for non-technical teachers.

Good site. Thanks.
