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 agoWith technology, we break the walls in a virtual sense. Owing to the costly nature of putting up new structures for learning spaces, utilising the old ones and just integrate would be good enough.
Secondly, putting up new structures is a long term achievement there fore time consuming. So retaining old structures and redesigning classroom…[Read more]-
Amiana i agree with you ,its easy to redesign our old classrooms and cost effective than reconstructing our walls , the fact that technology tools are becoming cheap and accessible than raising funds to construct building which is a long time investment
-
I totally agree with you when you say that owing to the costly nature of putting up new structures for learning spaces, utilizing the old ones and just integrate would be good enough. Because technology grows every day and a lot become obsolete once time passes by yet new innovations in technology do not wait.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoHello members, I also agree that technology can break down the walls of a classroom and create virtual learning spaces. Just take an example of this CCTI Course we are doing. There are no classroom wall but we can continue with the course. Let’s have a look at this link m…[Read more]

The CCTI course is indeed a good example.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoHi members I do agree that technology can break down classroom walls and create even much more knowledge than the teacher can give in class as well as ensuring collaboration among learners and their teacher, but we should not forget that it all goes along with a connection to a server which may not be easy for learners in the remote areas of the…[Read more]

Very true about the remote areas. May be they can use solar!
-
What Rehema said is true but Prossy my dear Ugandan schools can not afford solar!

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]

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

Is a good example to learn from.

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.
