I have liked the view ‘Make every space a leerning space’ in this resource.
-
in fact we have got a lot of unnoticed learning spaces in schools
-
True. This course has opened our eyes

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

https://www.theguardian.com/teacher-network/2012/sep/10/technology-schools-breaking-down-barriers

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.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoUsing technology, the learners can reach out to more information, get in touch with social communities, and social platforms that exist in the global network. That way, they do not feel caged in the classroom even if they are carrying out their activities within those walls. They get to sit as they think would best offer them comfortable learning.
-
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.
-
I also agree. There is a wider audience than just a classroom one.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoBreaking the walls does not necessarily mean breaking the physical walls. It means being able to learn in groups, and pairs without necessarily being in traditional sitting formation or havingnthe teacher as the center of knowledge and learning. It means being able to use whatever available space there is within the four walls and without. It is…[Read more]
-
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.
-
I agree Willex, if it’s just mere substitution without functional change we shall just be in “old things, old ways”
-
-
Maggie, I like that idea of being able to use available space within (more creatively) and without as long as there is connectivity.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 5 months agoMy position is you do not really need to bring down the physical walls to integrate technology into learning. Technology and innovative learning design can break down classroom walls in a virtual sense and that is sufficient for social learning styles of the future. My reasons will follow soon.
-
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.
-
Willex, it may also refer to using the available space within the same walls or institution more creatively or better.

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoAfter reading the article about the use of mobile phones in learning and how it is spreading like bush fire among our 21st century learners, I have been convinced that our teaching must be tailored to the way our learners can understand. Even though it is still a gimmick in our secondary schools for any learner to carry and use a mobile phone in…[Read more]

Sulaiman,
This is the greatest of problems we faced in the teaching and learning process. To me any thing that distracts attention among learners is what i may refer to as problem behavior. These are issues as referred to in our task 3. The question is managing these issues.
-
Thank you Stephen

It should not worry a teacher that the student has read ahead! That should be encouraged.

that’s why I call for this to emphasized from primary level of education. because you can put an old crooked tree upright, but a young one is very easy to be put up right. this will even lessen the work of teachers at higher level of learning.

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.
