Clearly, many schools and many educators struggle with this, and end up teaching using technology as an afterthought. Technology is not a substitute for good teaching. No amount of technology can replace a great lesson that has been delivered in a passionate, inspirational and focused manner. It should not be glamourised.

A recent tweet by Jason Elsom made me sit up and take notice: 'We need to stop designing schools for teaching and start designing schools for learning.' We can either place an emphasis on teaching or we can privilege learning as the most important facet of education. Photo from Wikimedia Commons Learning by design?

One of the first things I ever learnt, right at the start of my teaching career, was that enthusiasm and passion often carry the day. Without some enthusiasm to study, the lesson is dull and dead. Although I don't often teach it directly, I find it infuses much of my teaching. My main subject is psychology.

Now that many of us are teaching and parenting and stuck in close quarters 24/7, teaching has become more multilayered, and sometimes even more frightening. One likes to act, one likes to dance.

But what about the teaching profession? Is there an emerging 3D pedagogy ? Some teachers have pointed out that in a lesson of less than an hour, not much can be achieved when the machine is sat there chugging away, laboriously printing an artefact layer by layer, one or two microns every few seconds.

One of the first things to understand about teaching large groups is that they are made up of many individuals who are all just as anxious as each other to do well in their studies.

Situating learning in rectangular spaces naturally promotes some forms of pedagogy at the expense of others. Such organisation of tools and resources is fairly permanent and inflexible, and it is easy for teachers to lapse into ''teaching in the same way they themselves were taught''. Unported License.

I was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to keynote a conference on technology enhanced learning, and yet for the interview I ended up talking about reflective practice and pedagogy. This might mean changing your method, introducing a different activity or resources, or actually scrapping your lesson plan and doing something completely different.

Photo by Vladimer Shioshvili on Flickr Educators have been using video for decades. We recorded micro-teaches - usually a 10 minute lesson - and then played back the footage to the students so they could see and hear themselves and learn from the experience. The first time I saw video being used in a classroom was in 1973.

One of the key factors underpinning their practice is their belief in what constitutes good teaching. Most teachers would claim that their particular brand of pedagogy places the student at the centre of the learning experience. Most teachers would also disagree somewhere as to what exactly is the best possible pedagogy.
