Christian claims that a new pedagogy is emerging that is directly driven by the upsurge in online activity. Christian identifies three key changes in pedagogy that I want to discuss over my next three blog posts. The classroom is no longer the unique centre of learning, based on information delivery through a lecture."

Most teachers by now will be aware of the concept of the flipped classroom. Instruction takes place outside the classroom and discussion follows in the classroom. Pedagogy is (or really should be) about creating spaces and opportunities that are conducive to good learning. Unported License.

It's called the eXSpace and will be a showcase for a range of new and emerging technologies, a place to study new pedagogies and a sandpit to try out new ideas and methods. At Plymouth Institute of Education we have been using a number of classroom technologies, but perhaps one of the most misunderstood is the SMART Interactive Whiteboard.

Today, the idea of flipping the classroom is a familiar one. A little history: Aaron Sams and Jonathan Bergmann developed the term ''flipped classroom'' by considering the time spent by teachers with their students in classroom. He was furious. Flipping teachers may not be so familiar. Flipping teachers is about swapping roles.

Quantity was more important than quality, because a rapid population of new digital spaces was deemed to be expedient - the pedagogy could wait. Discussion groups and forums, hyperlinked content, videos, audio in the form of podcasts, and ultimately, user generated content emerged as important forms of online activity.

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

In short, many teachers saw a need to change pedagogy. Iowan High School teacher Tim Scholze raised the ugly spectre of identifying learning styles, still the bane of reason in many school classrooms, while Melissa Techman , a librarian at a school in Virginia bemoaned a lack of differentiation. Very few were about technology.

And the church - the people - are flocking to the discussion pages to participate (see what I did there?) Some even banned technology from their classrooms because it was 'too dangerous' or undermined their approach to pedagogy. Well, now many have no access to their classrooms, and their students are at home.

In essence, each student needs to engage with philosophy, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, ethics and global perspectives alongside their notions of pedagogy. But ultimately, any teacher who loves their job will tell you - it's the teacher in the classroom who ultimately decides what is being taught, and how it is taught.

As politely as I could, I explained to him that making his students sit through a full 90 minutes of video was not particularly good pedagogy. He patiently listened to what I had to say, thanked me for my time, and then took the video cassette, walked into the classroom and played it in its entirety anyway. Unported License.

I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age. Sure, I''m being deliberately provocative here, but it''s needed discussion: Are the old models adequate, or are any of the new theories that are emerging more apposite, or more fit for purpose? I will be interested in your views.

It''s the huge potential and great possibilities to move learning beyond the traditional walls of the classroom. As the movement grows, and more teachers become technologically savvy, so we will begin to witness the emergence of new pedagogies and powerful approaches to learning and teaching. I can see the point in this.

I also published a second post in which I listed 6 ways IWBs could be used to engage learners in the classroom. And yet, as I discussed in my previous posts, some teachers struggle to use them for more than simple projection or display activities. IWBs have been around since 1991, when the first was developed by SMART Technologies.
