RADICAL THINKERS UNITE.

Traditional education is a good way of assimilating aliens into a society, but what I hear Frier saying is that these learner should be allowed to know the reasoning behind what is being taught, and the manner in which it correlates with their own culture capital, so that these learners may capitalise on education the same way the learners whom the curriculum was initially designed benefit from education. Moreover, Frier seems to aspire for a society whom is both educated and sensibly radical. I felt that the mention of ICT was an analogy/example of the reasoning behind the uprise of the critical pedagogy theory, an analogy which educators may understand.

I feel that this is a perfect to time to confess that the words DIGITAL and PEDAGOGY have a direct effect on my habitués. Looking at these words I switch into a zone where I can only see myself getting a headache and feeling sad because I do not entirely understand this concept. Moreover, this leads me to decide that People like me should help each other understand new terminology and concepts.

Concepts discussed will be: Critical pedagogy, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Critical pedagogy is a theory designed by Freire which speaks about the oppression in education. Critical pedagogy is a philosophy of education and social movement that combines education with critical theories, "educational movement, guided by passion and principle, to help students develop consciousness of freedom, recognize authoritarian tendencies, and connect knowledge to power and the ability to take constructive action."

A Critical Digital Pedagogy demands that open and networked educational environments must not be merely repositories of content. They must be platforms for engaging students and teachers as full agents of their own learning.

Rouse explains ICT saying that, ICT (information and communications technology - or technologies) is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning.

Learner come from different backgrounds, education should function to expose the learner to as much of the relevant world around them as possible, then gear the student with tool to further their interests.

Social Media is your FRED Friends

Listen the sooner learners  get the “hang” of the real world, the better right? Yeah. So I choosing the ‘Hey let’s make our lessons public’ team, because essentially you will be doing the teaching community a favour, the less creative teacher could become inspired by your work... and I would expect that the more competitive teachers will show you something new once in a while.

Children on the other hand need to learn responsibility. Once young adults, people need to start focusing on learning career-goal oriented behavior, and one of the most vital skills people should learn is the manner in which to conduct themselves in society, or in a more inner social circle. 

With exposure to the science field, the learner will definitely understand more about the subject content they learn about in class. The learner will in time learn critical thinking skills and discernment. Much deceptive information related to science is in the internet, although ‘Google don’t tell lies’, some scientific material is very faulty. So the more learners are exposed to the flaws of some documents available on the online they will be able to develop discernment through exposure. The ability to ‘spot out’ or find reputable literature is a critical skill that Researchers need to possess.

Having said this, I also have a strong opinion about the promoting anti-social ‘tendencies’. School should be a place where learners develop interpersonal skill, team work and stress management skills. For instance rather than promoting tweeter as an individual task, make it a chance to make group discussions in class, or on the particular social media site.
