Hi Hannah,

Great blog posting! Very much enjoyed the theorization of pedagogy as being more than just knowledge transmission, but rather, pedagogy forms a place where the presence of the students is active. On learning, what really amazed me was the following: “I learn better with visual graphics and hands-on activities.” Really widens one’s-sdkl understanding of things. And thank you for flagging your view on Slack and Discord with respect to networked learning. It’s great that technology can make collaboration easier, especially with busy schedules, and provide a sense of support.

I loved how you explained constructivism and then related it to online discussion forums; a very good example of how to translate the theory into practice. Shared learning by sharing and discussing really enhances understanding. Lastly, your thoughts regarding the role of the instructor in the online course were just so to the point; surely, timely feedback and effective communication do make the students feel less lost. Great job in connecting theory with real experiences, and quite relatable!
