Digital Literacy

The image below is a succinct summary of Digital Literacy.It does make me wonder if our students are getting all that this model offers.

DigiGogy

This term and all that it encompasses seems to be where I am at with my teaching  If you're wondering what digigogy is here's a good definition:

What is DIGIGOGY?

Digigogy is a paradigm shift.

Where pedagogy is about methods to instruct, Digigogy is about those methods, but with a technological frame. From hardware to software, from tech ed theory to application, Digigogy is about reframing our methods in the future of instruction. The new way of learning is a complete tear down and rebuild of traditional teaching, where learning is a joint effort and roles are reborn. Beyond the desks...beyond the walls...beyond the school. The new classroom is orbital, and scenic, and here.

This, I find, really interesting.

Reflect...NOW!!

I reflect quite a bit on my teaching but usually it's on my way to school, waiting at the lights or when I can grab a moment of quiet in my life of juggling work, partner and children. 
My self-imposed challenge this year, is to formalise my reflection and the links I've found that influence my pedogogy...taling the time to "Pause for Pedogogy"!
