One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. It's more likely that there will be interruptions at home that will not occur in a classroom. It's a psychological inevitability that learning from home will not be as intense as learning in a classroom with one's peers.

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. Flipped classrooms generally take advantage of technology for off campus learning while maximising the presence of the teacher for discursive and iterative activities.

Many teachers welcome the idea of bringing new technology into the classroom. There is nothing wrong with any of these approaches, provided they don''t get in the way of good pedagogy.

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.
