Decoding Digital Pedagogy, pt. 1: Beyond the LMS | Digital Pedagogy | HYBRID PEDAGOGY - 2 views

  • The LMS was not a creative decision, it was not pushing the capabilities of the Internet, it was settling for the least innovative classroom practice and repositioning that digitally. As a result classes taught within its structure generally land with a dull thud. No matter how creative and inspired the teacher or pedagogue behind the wheel, the LMS is no match for the wideness of the Internet. It was born a relic -- at its launch utterly irrelevant to its environment and its user.
  • The LMS largely erased mindfully aware teaching, and made excuses for unconscionable practice.

  •

He displayed a Tekzilla Daily video from which he "learned about the script", and also point out a Digital Inspiration blog post that provides instructions as well.
