I choose to do the Hybrid Pedagogy podcast with guest speaker Amy Collier. The program I decided to use for my digital expression of the podcast was padlet. The podcast was very interesting and Amy Collier made many good points about the way educators think about their pedagogy in today’s education system. During the podcast we learn about critical thinking and how it can change the formulaic expression of pedagogy by teachers. It is very important that a instructivist model is changed and modified to a more constructivist model through the process of learnification. The education system needs to be as personalized as possible. The constructivist approach changes the way students think and instead of mass producing students that are all the same we can have students that want to ask the inherent questions about things they are interested in.
Lastly, learning outcomes are not always a bad thing but they are usually generalized to the whole class being at some specific point in the curriculum. These types of learning outcomes are forced upon the students and brings them to a point where they all know the same knowledge usually learned the same way. These types of pedagogy and learning values need to be re-evaluated. Evaluation by the use of critical thinking when done correctly can create a more individualistic learning experience that will spark inherent questions leading to new ideas maybe never seen before.
