Unconditionally regarding each child with positivity is key to good pedagogy (Rogers, 1983). Effective pedagogy not only has impact, it's contagious. Often, in my own practice, if I witness a good method or technique, I adopt it myself. I develop it and apply it to my own professional context. London: Sage. Rogers, C.

Teacher beliefs about pedagogy are central to the successful integration of new technologies into schools. Teachers will only adopt new technology if they can see the benefits and are convinced something can be improved or enriched.
