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]

Charles in addition to the collaboration and the possibility of the environment being flexible ,i have also taken note of the idea of he
variation of furniture you are arguing for. This in a similar way also
allows for the flexibility suitability to the different forms of spaces we are advocating for. -

From the link given i have actually learnt that space designed to allow for several activities is reason to give learners chance to carry out more projects compared to the traditional set-up.

Yes, there is a lot of collaboration when learning using technology. The sitting arrangement in the classroom needs to be constructed to support the collaboration which is a key characteristic of learning using technology. There is also need to structure the classrooms with power sources that will supply the technology during use.

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]

I agree with you Stephen about the the need to actually set standards within institutions. It implies there is a plan to fit future expectations within certain bounds and interests of both the teachers and students.

Charles,
Am of the same belief that the new can work with the old ways. Just wanted you to reflect over the following questions:
-What are the old ways in teaching?
-What are the old ways in learning?
Despite the proliferation of devices think what is vital for new vs old to work is much more emphasis on how the two should be streamlined/…[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

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.
