So Freire didn't actually live to see the power and potential of social media, or the impact blogging would have on education.

As you might expect, I encourage my students to blog regularly to support their learning. I have written extensively on the benefits of academic blogging , but perhaps the two most important positive outcomes are personal reflection and public dialogue. Some of my current group of education students are particularly active in blogging.

One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. I doubt if anyone will post any relevant comments on this post (blogging seems to be a dying art for most teachers these days) but if you choose to do so, I will respond. How are you engaging your learners?

These posts were prompted by a blog written by Daniel Christian on emerging trends of new pedagogy. Assessment and learning are inseparable in any good pedagogy. If the first does not fit the second, then we see a failure of that pedagogy. They can also submit videos, blogs or wikis if they so choose.

As ever, I like to promote argument, so here on this blog, I offer you my own views on what is quite an old debate. Pedagogy , another term used widely in education, derives from the time of the Roman slaves, known as pedagogs, who were tasked to either train their masters' children, or in many cases, to 'lead them to education'.
