  3. What is Digital Pedagogy? “Digital Pedagogy is precisely not about

    using digital technologies for teaching and, rather, about approaching those tools from a critical pedagogical perspective. So, it is as much about using digital tools thoughtfully as it is about deciding when not to use digital tools, and about paying attention to the impact of digital tools on learning.” http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/hybridped/digitalpedagogy/ digisim

    where humans cannot survive.” John Markoff - New York Times digisim
  10. “human interaction, with all of its messiness and complexity, is

    not easily automated.” Paul LeBlanc - Educause
  11. “The act of teaching isn’t just imparting what’s in your

    head to a captive audience. Teaching is a performance, it’s reading the room and working it. This is where technology really falls short. Empathy is a key area of difficulty for technology and automation.” Harpreet Purewal - Guardian digisim
  12. “Technology will never replace great teachers, but technology in the

    hands of a great teacher can be transformational.” George Couros digisim
  13. “the use of technology in the classroom doesn’t lessen the

    need for great teachers…… it is great teachers who make using technology so significant in students’ education” Abigail Bryant digisim
  14. “it’s the educators’ ability to leverage technology to personalize and

    streamline the learning process for students that makes blended learning an effective way to maximize the impact of teacher time through direct instruction”. Brooke, 2015 digisim
  15. 87% teachers believe new technologies are creating an “easily distracted

    generation with short attention spans” and 64% say today’s digital technologies “do more to distract students than to help them academically.” https://www.pewinternet.org/2012/11/01/how-teens-do-research-in-the-digital-world/
  16. “What we’re labeling as ‘distraction,’ some see as a failure

    of adults to see how these kids process information, ....…….. that the label of ‘distraction’ is a judgment of this generation.” Kristen Purcell, the Associate Director for Research at Pew
  17. “So what do Net Geners want from learning technology? Interactivity—whether

    it is with a computer, a professor, or a classmate. They want it; they crave it.” https://www.educause.edu/research-and-publications/books/educating-net-generation/using-technology-learning-tool-not-just-cool-new-thing digisim
  18. “I just want the technology to help me do the

    tasks I need to do quickly and efficiently” What our students are telling us. “I use my (smart) phone for everything but wish I could access more university stuff through it” “I like it when staff use technology to make the teaching engaging” digisim
  19. “Transformation is more about the human and organisational aspects of

    teaching and learning than it is about the use of technology” Laurillard, D. (2007) digisim
  20. “higher education, like health care, is a highly regulated industry

    that remains slow to change” digisim Paul LeBlanc - Educause
