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.
