Digital Pedagogies
Broadly defined as "the use of electronic elements to enhance or to change the experience of education" (BrainCroxall, 2016). It is the use of technology to assist in changing teaching and learning in a range of ways in the classroom. This could mean using blogs, activities online or other websites that act as tools for students to use to assist their learning.
From taking the paper The Teaching-Learning Process: Innovative Approaches, I have learnt more about Digital Pedagogies. This being:
- That the tool used needs to be relevant and purposeful for the students learning
- That it is more complex than I thought, in regards to the extensive process of making sure it is worthwhile and meaningful
- That digital technology should be used to enhance the learning not to restrict the learning
- It is not limited to one curriculum area - it can be used across a range of areas, Eg. Maths, Inquiry, English
- It also gives the students the ability to share their learning with the wider community
The wordle below highlights some of the words I believe are important when thinking about digital pedagogy.
A few things that have surprised me about digital pedagogies is:
- What is available for teachers and people out there to use in the classroom with students - Eg. Sphero (robots) from Noel Lemming
- Everything is still so new for everyone and that it is still a work in progress
Do students need to have one device each in order for a digital pedagogy to be done to its best ability?
Are innovative/modern learning environments the only way teachers can bring in a more digital pedagogy into their classrooms?
Are assessments going to move into being done online if teaching is becoming more digitally based?
