    1. Some students don’t have the maturity to understand their responsibility in active learning strategies (Aycock, Garnham, & Kaleta, 2002). You need to specify their responsibilities and the consequences of failure.

      This is something I am worried I will have to learn through trial and error. For instance, when I first started teaching I assumed that most students would read--at least most of the material. I don't assume that anymore. I am going to have to remind myself not assume anything as I go into this work.

    2. Keep It Simple Starting (KISS)

      I really like the idea of starting out simple with a few new tools since I have been feeling a little overwhelmed this semester. It reminds me that I don't have to be an expert at this right away, and really it isn't possible.

    1. The worst digital tools attempt to dictate our pedagogies, determining what we can do with them and for whom

      Right--we have to be conscious of how the affordances of technology determine our actions--cf. Design of Everyday Things for more on affordances

    2. It looks like careful planning without attachment to or fetishizing of outcomes

      Is this a reaction to a perceived over-focus on assessment?

    3. authority

      Depends on what you think authority means . . .

    4. What is the point of rote memorization when everything is available online all the time?

      Good question--what do you think, BLCC-AH? (I think there is a role, but I am curious about your thoughts.)

    5. that their interface and functionalities control how teachers teach online

      For the BLCC-AH class--what are ways that Canvas or other tools have constrained the way you teach?

    6. mindfully aware teaching

      I think this is his definition of pedagogy

    7. The etymology of pedagogy reveals that leadership is at its core;

      from the Greek: paidos + ago or the noun "child" + the verb "I lead"

    8. instantaneous, momentary, vital exchange

      This phrase implies that pedagogy is synchronous (and therefore can't apply to asynchronous online), but I don't think that is necessarily what Sean is getting at.

    9. Pedagogy has at its core timeliness, mindfulness, and improvisation.

      I think this is more like teaching as vocation--pedagogy is the craft practiced by teachers.

    10. What’s the difference between digital pedagogy and teaching online?
