The wiki on classroom management 7.2.4

Building knowledge together is a very fulfilling experience. As you embark on this hilarious task you get to know that the proverbial two heads are actually better than one! What your eyes could have missed can be captured by one of those many eyes that are working with you to bring the wiki (that is if you are using a wiki) to its final glorious state.

Technology has proven to be literally limitless when it comes to facilitating the teaching learning process both in and out of the classroom setting and is the only alternative to this long enduring model – traditional four walled classrooms. The traditional four walled classroom model portrays itself in a number of ‘glorified’ ways but still maintains a somewhat common paradigm that learning – despite the use of technology – should take place within four walls of the classroom. Use of technology is more of a separate activity with little or no relevance to the usual ‘very important’ lessons within the allocated and fixed lesson periods. All learning that takes place outside our traditional classroom walls (in this paradigm) is considered to be accidental and not d
