The title taken from the Pedagogy 2.0 - Gathering Speed is a quote from this section and it has again made me reflect upon my own pedagogical approach to my college sessions. Do I use technology appropriately? I feel that I try to exploit the technologies at my disposal such as SMART boards to model effective classroom practice. Possibly an aspect which I need to develop is the use of more Web2.0 tools such as Padlet, Mentimeter and Socrative into my practice so that the next generation of classroom practitioners are confident and have a range of (Web2.0) tools at their disposal. After all these technologies are not going away.
Perhaps one of the best ways to support teacher change is by providing
opportunities for them to witness how the change benefits their students. Hopefully the students I teach will see the benefits of these tools and become the key drivers for change in the schools they work at. Only then might other teachers' fixed mindset be shifted and classroom pedagogy changed.
