Hi Dana,

I enjoyed reading your blog. You explained pedagogy so well and how different interactive teaching methods have influenced you positively. I really agree that when the teachers provide some sort of engagement to the students, like asking questions and creating discussions, it really helps students retain the information more. Your thoughts about networked pedagogy are spot on; technology definitely fits, enabling us to connect with a wider range of people and collaborate in ways not possible before.

I liked your analysis of the Social Learning Theory, since you use YouTube videos included in watching as a part of your learning process. This is a very good example of how we can utilize online tools as a means of trying to imitate certain behaviors so that our comprehension is enhanced. Your experiences with online instructors at UVic also emphasized the problem of teachers knowing online tools, which always supports students in their performance.

Overall, I find your post to be very considerate and well-rounded, and you have touched on all the key points nicely.

Well done!

Jerry
