  4. What is Digital Pedagogy?
    “Digital Pedagogy is precisely not about using digital technologies
    for teaching and, rather, about approaching those tools from a
    critical pedagogical perspective.
    So, it is as much about using digital tools thoughtfully as it is
    about deciding when not to use digital tools, and about paying
    attention to the impact of digital tools on learning.”

  31. “The act of teaching isn’t just imparting
    what’s in your head to a captive audience.
    Teaching is a performance, it’s reading the
    room and working it. This is where
    technology really falls short. Empathy is a
    key area of difficulty for technology and
    automation.”

  38. “What we’re labeling as
    ‘distraction,’ some see as a
    failure of adults to see
    how these kids process
    information, ....…….. that
    the label of ‘distraction’ is
    a judgment of this
    generation.”
