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. The caveat here, is that if you invite your students to use the SMARTboard, you should first decide on what particular pedagogy you are applying.

New technologies emerge, outmoded devices are discarded; old buildings are knocked down to make way for new ones, and children grow up fast. In short, many teachers saw a need to change pedagogy.

Pedagogy in the best sense of the word is where knowledgeable others such as teachers and experts provide the guidance and support for good learning to be optimised. Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. This is what schools in the idealistic sense should be modelled upon.

In this presentation I will explore the use of MOOCs, AI, social media, smart mobiles, virtual worlds, augmented and virtual reality, as well as some of the emerging associated theories, to evaluate their effectiveness on pedagogy.

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 wrote about this some time ago, when there were discussions about whether there were any differences between andragogy and pedagogy.

I have contributed to the dialogue on this blog and there is much to discuss in relation to pedagogy, teacher roles, assessment and curriculum issues. Recently a book was published with the title iPads in Schools , and several conference papers and articles are emerging which debate the place of touch tablets in formal education.

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?

Today we discussed praxis. The Brazilian educator and theorist Paulo Freire for example, defined the gaining of praxis as a means to emerge from oppression and ignorance: "One of the gravest obstacles to the achievement of liberation is that oppressive reality absorbs those within it and thereby acts to submerge human beings'' consciousness.

The ability to anticipate and prepare for change is the mark of innovative educators, as is the skill of harnessing new and emerging tools to promote good learning. There will be particular emphasis this year on simulations and games, personal learning tools, new pedagogies and practices, learner and teacher voice, and digital literacies.

One of the key discussion points was around the nature of these approaches and their effectiveness as learning environments. The final question asked whether new learning environments such as MOOCs, flipped classes and blended learning represented a new or emerging pedagogy. Opinion was divided on this, but what do you think?

New trends have emerged including blended learning , personalised learning environments ( PLEs ) Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), mobile learning and the flipped classroom. What do new learning environments promise in terms of new learning, new pedagogy and new opportunities? And what new skills and knowledge do educators need?

Is there an emerging 3D pedagogy ? In Twitter conversations yesterday, we discussed the speed of 3D printing. Slow learning has some merits and is growing into a significant aspect of pedagogy.

I plan to discuss our possible responses to this. I plan to explore several of the older social science theories, and compare and contrast these with some of the newer, emerging theories to determine what they offer. What should we make it all, and do we consider these new trends threats or opportunities? We have the technology.

Firstly, all learning has the characteristics of an incomplete jigsaw.

However, one post-modernist theory, proposed by Deleuze and Guattari , has become the basis for an emerging and comprehensible theory of learning for the digital age - rhizomatic learning. Tonight's #EDENchat discusses these and related issues around the theory of rhizomatic learning. How can this approach be implemented?

When I was invited to speak at a Human Resources and Corporate Learning conference in Cologne, Germany I did an interview about how organisations are remodelling their learning strategies around new and emerging technology. Many of them are free and easy to use, and there is a definite pedagogy underpinning the use of these technologies.

This approach to pedagogy has its roots in Vygotskiian Zone of Proximal Development theory , where a more knowledgeable other, whether teacher, adult or simply a better informed peer, can extend someone's learning experience beyond what they might achieve alone (Vygotsky, 1978). This is not something ZPD theory explicitly takes into account.
