Most new technologies, particularly handheld devices, lend themselves more to student led learning than they do to teacher led education. We need a new set of pedagogies (and we also need to know how these can be supported with theory) if we are to maximise the impact of technology on education. Unported License.

Pedagogy is not about directing children. In its absolute form, pedagogy is not just about teaching. It does not simply concern itself with the 'delivery' of education or content. In the truest sense, teaching is just one element of pedagogy and not the entire story. Unported License. Reference Brennan, R.

Education and schooling are not the same thing. Education is where learning is personalised and unique to the individual. 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. Unported License.

It was not until social theories such as Vygotsky''s social constructivist model were introduced that education as a whole began to capitalise on the dialogic power of learning. Indeed, the Zone of Proximal Development and other social pedagogy models were largely unheard of in the West before the 1970s. Unported License.

One of the most radical shifts of pedagogy in recent years has been where learners take control of their own learning leading them to create their own content. Some of the best learning I have seen in my career in education, has been when I have stepped back out of the way, and let my students discover for themselves. Unported License.
