After reading 'digital pedagogy unplugged' I am sitting here thinking to myself... Where will we find ourselves as educators 10 years from now.  I mean, technology has taken the world by storm and it does not seem as if it is intending to slow down in the near future.  There is no doubt that we as 'digital educators' need to equip ourselves and stay vigilant about technology and how it affects our profession.  What will its impact be and how will it affect our workflow?  Will we be making use of blackboards or will the classroom consist of tablets and smartphones?


An interesting reference made by the article is that of 'hybrid pedagogy' and the reference made to combining traditional teaching with digital teaching.  I do believe that one should try and maintain what the author refers to as 'teaching naked'.  The reason for this is because I believe that the classroom provides a space where people can interact physically which inevitably contributes to social skills and interactive learning.  I also agree that one can connect this with digital pedagogy in which students can interact on a digital level after class.  We all know that information is available at the touch of a button and what better way to encourage further learning than by getting learners to interact continuously after they had the physical classroom experience.


One can not ignore the importance of digital pedagogy and hybrid pedagogy.  Technology is part of everyday life and need to be incorporated into the teaching discipline.  We as educators need to be able to utilise this hybrid pedagogy in order to enhance the teaching experience.
