Delivered via email to students within the "Preparing for Class 2" email that would set out 4 readings (each student reading only one in preparation for a jigsaw activity) and 3 videos to review for the coming week. A final slide would be added for the particular class to link to the week's Active Reading Assignment (sometimes reflective responding, sometimes application responding, sometimes both).

Image from http://www.soul-cycle.com/blog.cfm?id=158Pedagogy (/ˈpɛdəɡɒdʒi/ or /ˈpɛdəɡoʊdʒi/)[1] is the science and art of education. Its aims range from the full development of the human being to skills acquisition. For example, Paulo Freire referred to his method of teaching people as "critical pedagogy". In correlation with those instructive strategies the instructor's own philosophical beliefs of instruction are harbored and governed by the pupil's background knowledge and experience, situation, and environment, as well as learninggoals set by the student and teacher. One example would be the Socratic schools of thought. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy).21st century mash-up pedagogyis not in this definition: Activity of instructing or educating, and the methods used to instruct. (youtube – six figure vocabulary)Mash Up – two or more things combined/remixed and overlaid with new material with to create something new – transformation of original content
Graphic distinguishing between Students and Learner that sparked this slide lives at http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/?p=2762, blog entry originally posted 8 October 2010.Relationship with other Students - Students are competitors / Learners are collaboratorsRelationship with Educators - Students are employees, required to obediently follow instructions. / Learners are citizens with a vested interest in the learning society.Why – Compelled / Curious Coffield, Frank. Just Suppose Learning & Teaching Became the First Priority.London, England: Learning and Skills Network, 2008: 7.Learning refers only to significant changes in capability, understanding, knowledge, practices, attitudes or values by individuals, groups, organisations or society. Two qualifications: It excludes the acquisition of factual information when it does not contribute to such changes. It also excludes immoral learning as when prisoners learn from other inmates in custody how to extend their repertoire of criminal activities.

Outcome statement -how we would recognize if or how well students have learned what is intended they should learn, not a prompt list of topics for a teacher to ‘cover’Learning and teaching activities - done in such a way as to increase the likelihood of most students achieving those outcomes. Talking about the topic, as in traditional teaching, is probably not the best way of doing that. We need to engage the students in learning activities that directly link to achieving the intended outcomes. Assessment - how well the outcomes have been achieved. Usually this means using an assessment task that requires the student to perform the intended outcome itself.
http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/42500/42567/pyramid_42567.htmPatti Lather – Why pedagogy? from David Lusted (1986). “Lusted defines pedagogy as addressing ‘the transformation of consciousness that takes place in the intersection of three agencies – the teacher, the learner and the knowledge they together produce….’ According to Lusted’s definition, pedagogy refuses to instrumentalize these relations, diminish their interactivity or value one over another. It, furthermore, denies the teacher as neutral transmitter, the student as passive, and knowledge as immutable material to impart. Instead, the concept of pedagogy focuses attention on the conditions and means through which knowledge is produced” (15).
