In previous posts I articulated some thoughts on how technology can (and should) be integrated into education. In an initial post I argued that technology use is not the same as technology integration. Ultimately, technology should be integrated into education so that learning can be transformed.

It seems strange that the education community is willing to adopt new technologies and develop new theories and methods of education, but it can't arrive at a way to get rid of grading. Assessment drives pedagogy, so if assessment doesn't change, it's difficult to teach in new ways. It's bad pedagogy, and needs to be challenged.

In my last post I discussed Daniel S Christian''s three trends of an emerging pedagogy. I speculated on whether a new social divide might also emerge as a result of the new pedagogy he outlines. Christian argues that much of the change we are currently witnessing in teaching methods is driven by new technologies.

Thirdly, teachers need time to tinker, experiment and test out new ideas and new pedagogies.

I'm in Australia this week to give the opening keynote for the Inaugural Technology for Learning and Teaching Forum , which will be held over two days at the Rendezvous Hotel in Melbourne, just across from Flinders Street Railway Station (pictured). Melbourne, this part anyway, is quite Bohemian, bustling, vibrant and very colourful.

What changes has technology made in schools? By mass pedagogy, he referred to the factory production model of education that schools have been caught in for over a century. The answer to the question for many schools, is that technology brings very little change to the way teachers educate.

It will be of great interest then, for anyone who subscribes to the notion of personal learning, that the latest Higher Education version of the Horizon Report lists ''The quantified self'' as a trend we can expect to see adopted in the next 4-5 years. The use of life-logging technologies is one emerging aspect of the quantified self.

The extent to which they see technology skills as relevant and valuable directly relates to the extent to which these skills are practised and applied in their work. and Azjen I. Unported License.

Teachers in many schools will tell you they are running hard just to stand still as they attempt to adopt new technologies for learning. And yet, with a clear framework or roadmap for adoption, many of the challenges of adopting new technology can be met, and many of the fears teachers have can be assuaged.

In the light of all the new technologies that are now available to universities, the article asks, why has the lecture refused to go away? One astute observation is that even when universities do adopt online modes of teaching such as MOOCs , all that seems to occur is the lecture is transferred to digital format. Unported License.

Apart from the surge in technology use, and the new skills teachers need to adopt, implement and harness new digital media and tools (a subject for another blogpost), I would argue that little has changed in our expectations of good educators. This is the basis of good pedagogy, and was referred to by Jean Piaget as 'decentering'.

It is increasingly apparent that learning technology and digital communication will play a key role in the shaping of future higher education.

While we are going through transitions in pedagogical practices, or technology driven innovation, there will always be casualties. Or, in most cases, teachers adopt the new ideas, but not wholeheartedly, and only casually apply them. Many teachers welcome change, but don't want to change themselves. We need to look after each other.

Most teachers would also disagree somewhere as to what exactly is the best possible pedagogy. Arguments about pedagogy tend to stem from varying professional identities. Unported License.

Clearly, the temptation is to perpetuate this kind of didactic pedagogy approach when one is expected to teach. Many however, are breaking out of this mould, and are launching into new kinds of pedagogy which enable learners to take control, and where teachers are another resource to be called upon when needed.
