7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoPhysical space must be changed because schools are still very much constrained by some of the following issues:
1. Working conditions: such as optimal lighting or ergonomics for sitting, writing, reading or listening, are not sufficiently addressed;
2. Purchasing decisions and location of new technologies: often constrained by district…[Read more]-
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.

From the shared link, I get points that emphasize factors that limit the adjustment and redesigning of learning spaces. True and they are common to many of our school situations.
However we need to share information on what basis or factors do justify the need for the learning spaces to be redesigned at certain points Jackie. What is your take? -
Thanks for the observation! There is need to improve on those areas highlighted which all encompass physical environment if we are make headway in technology integration.

7.4 Construction group 9 years, 5 months agoPhysical spaces need to be constructed for effective technology integration. Students need adequate space if we are to guide them on task and also when sharing with others. Collaboration is not only online but also physical and socially

Thank you Jackie,
I come in to say that actually human dynamics are key to work space design. -
I do agree with you Jackie with this. In reality allowing room for both online and physically interactions by any kind of design is itself flexibility. We have to think through plans and settings that allow more of these adjustments gradually.

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoManaging issues that may arise in a one-device classroom space:
-Embracing the Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) Movement for schools with dwindling budgets. This would be of added advantage since the students would be more familiar with such gadgets and easily enhance their learning.
-Setting up a wireless- capable device with adequate bandwidth…[Read more] -

7.3 3 – new things and old ways – will old tactics work with mobile technologies? 9 years, 5 months agoNew mobile technology will work with old tactics:
-Mobile learning initiatives should lead to changes in the teaching strategies.
-The teachers should be trained to integrate mobile learning in their instructions.
– They must learn how to use mobile technologies to change teaching and learning.
-When mobile learning programs are implemented in s…[Read more] -

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.
