How the digital would be used in my classroom


I believe the classroom digital pedagogy is probably the clearest example of how to use digital pedagogy in the classroom. Our lecturer uses twitter to give us interesting tit bits of news or to inform us of new assignments we have to do. The assignments we have to do are basically blogs about our insights based on the assignment he gave us, it is then peer reviewed and this enhances socialising and interaction amongst students regarding the subject area. Also the Reminder app students can download onto their phones could be of great help, I imagine in my classroom. This way I can remind my students of homework they need to do or as the one teacher shared, sending them inspiring messages. Sometimes you just need to hear a positive voice that lifts you up.

I believe another thing I would do is use online technologies and open online tests to keep my students up to date with their homework. I believe weekly reviews on their homework would do wonders for them consolidating their new found knowledge. Also I would have a digital notice board where my students can put up posters advertising what is going on in their life’s, party invitations or just leave inspirational quotes in this way allow them to have a voice outside the classroom.

So where to next, that would be up to my students. I will have to investigate how effective my digital strategies are in my students and in my particular career path. As far as I can envision and based on the many articles that I have read, it all points towards the digital landscape as the next best thing to break the new frontiers in the digital classroom. Time, practice and application is the only thing that would prove if this would indeed prove successful. The future looks bright with possibility, say hooray to the digital age!
