Digital WHAT..?
The first reaction on many of our faces.
It took me a while to pronounce it correctly, and after that, some
research followed.
Digital Pedagogy refers to teaching and learning by making use of
technology. As technology develops every
day, I believe there is no certain or definite way of using digital
pedagogy. A teacher therefore must adapt
to his/her lessons in such a way to accomodate the development of technology.
In a prescribed article, Fyfe (2011) stated that for you in order to be a
“digital humanist”, you do not need a computer.
I feel you don’t need technology and digital equipment in order to
engage with the students/learners in front of you. Don’t rely on digital tools to make your task
easier. Teachers should be able to make
use of different teaching styles, because as technology changes, your use of
digital equipment and way of teaching should adapt. The same type of source may become boring to
the learners / students and you may lose their interest.
Teachers should inspire them to become critical thinkers and be creative in
different fields of learning. The
digital side may help them to deliver better work by using better ways of doing
research and expand their knowledge.
Taking out the advantage of digital pedagogy, we as teachers can help
learners to become the better future of tomorrow.
