An excellent article by Sean Michael Morris (@slamteacher)! Great description of Pedagogy - the place where philosophy and practice meet (aka 'praxis') - that moment of truth for learning ..that "vital exchange that takes place for learning to occur". He argues that the digital pedagogue considers the options, refuses the limitations of the LMS and explores new and emerging learning spaces. The digital pedagogue invites students to participate in networked learning and indeed create it. "Her practice is mindful of the landscape."
Sean's closing paragraphs resonate so well with my own inquiry, I simply must quote him.
"Questions that the digital pedagogue asks regularly include: What tools are available for me and my students to play with?How can improvisation occur online to reinforce learning?Does digital learning end when the course ends, or is it sustained perpetually by the online learning environment (aka, the Internet)?Who are my students, and where can they be found? What are my students’ URLs? What is mine?Do disciplines matter online? Do canons exist? What is the point of rote memorization when everything is available online all the time?Where is my authority now that all authority is a Google search away?And most importantly: What happens when learning is removed from the classroom and exposed to the entirety of the digital landscape?For some, teaching begins with authority and expertise. For the digital pedagogue, teaching begins with inquiry. And that’s why digital pedagogy is so important. It reminds us that the new landscape of learning is mysterious and worth exploring. The techniques of on-ground learning do not translate well. The LMS fails. Only an attitude of pioneering exploration will make heads or tails of the potential for online learning; and it is the digital pedagogue who will lead that charge." |
Jesse Stommel argues that "Digital pedagogy is less about knowing and more a rampant process of unlearning, play, and rediscovery." with students and learners central to mapping the terrain of this partcipatory and collaborative pedagogy. A thought provoking read that follows on well from part 1.
