    1. Pedagogy is not ideologically neutral.

      I think this is so important. According to Malaguzzi, schools that embrace the political nature of all decisions related to schooling reinforce “the value of a continuity between the world of children and the world of adults; and values that start the children on a first assimilation of sentiments of justice” (Malaguzzi, 2016a, p. 182). I think this holds particular gravity and complexity when considering the responsibility we hold as teacher educators to understand the political nature of the decisions we are making surrounding technology. What positions are we holding and reinforcing when we don't understand the technological landscape we expect in which we expect our students to engage? This is a big part of why I'm so excited for this digital pedagogy workshop! Malaguzzi, L.
