7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 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]

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 8 months agoWhereas construction of suitable classroom space provides for benefits such as flexibility and collaboration, it may also have few challenges.

Well Stephen…….. Do you find any advantages in creating a learning space that is flexible and at the same time allows flexibility? Leave for the anticipated challenges……
-
Meant space enough to accommodate multiple activities.

Yes Mr. Otikori, given adequate commitment to integrating ICT, dont you think that forexample audio chats arouse interest in learning, and build up cognitive skills, emotionally goodlearners?
-
Right,
My stand point here is the aspect of attitudinal change in our traditional teachers being a challenge.
-
-
Well, such anticipated challenges should fiercely be remedified to open acess to new ways of getting things done in the class room, the modern way.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 8 months agoConstruction is still largely dictated by “teacher in classroom” scenario. With devices like tablets, all that may be necessary is a rooftop to guard against rain!

Emma,
This ok with me as well. Yes teacher based on whatever approaches teacher intended. My feel is that we insist on a kind architecture that will prevent not only the rain but dust, wind noise etc.-
I would consider that for the existing hardware but would advocate for virtue learning spaces the way to go. more so this wiuld involve parents more in learning. Simply because some parents dont want their childrento access Internetbecause of fear to adopt bad cultures. But if Principal informs all parents about the Virtual school learning…[Read more]

Yes! what ever happens inside there, an environment that is free from noise, wind, rain is highly recommended.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoThe contradiction of learners engaging and learning with technology away from school, only to be told to put away their technologies at school in order to “learn” should be seriously addressed and resolved.
-
That comes with a lot of sensitization and it begins with us the converted.
-
Sure Emma, but it may not come easily just like Patrick notes, a lot of sensitization to many stakeholders.

I agree with you Stephen. With the emergence of technology in teaching/learning, the learning spaces have to be constructed in such a way to take care of the technology. The use of technology requires collaboration, active engagement with the technology, movement with the classroom space, etc, all of which will require a carefully constructed…[Read more]

Yes, sure in addition to the research programmatic requirements of the space, such as:
Group work or individual study?
Noisy or quiet?
Can the space be reserved?
Will staff require frequent access and/or views into the space?
Is the technology fixed or mobile?
How long will the average user be in the space?
Room size and shape.
Desirability of…[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!
