6. NEW PEDAGOGIES
FOR DEEP LEARNING
“Everyone becomes a teacher in the new
pedagogies, and everyone becomes a learner...
Ultimately, these pedagogies foster a new kind
of learning that is more engaging and more
connected to real life.”
- Michael Fullan & Maria Langworthy from A Rich Seam: How
New Pedagogies Find Deep Learning

8. WHAT IS A LEARNING TOOL?
A learning tool is defined as any software or online
tool or service that you use either for your own
personal or professional learning, for teaching or
training, or for creating e-learning
9. VOTING GUIDANCE
• Please name three specific tools rather than generic
technologies (e.g. “Blogger” or “WordPress”, rather than
“blogs” or “blogging”).
• A vote for Google will be a vote for Google Search, so if you
want to vote for other Google tools, you will need to name
them individually, e.g. Google Docs/Drive, Google Scholar,
Google Maps, etc.
• A vote for Google Apps will be for the badged collection of
Google Apps for Business or Education, not a generic term for
all Google applications.
• A vote for Microsoft Office will be split over Word and
PowerPoint, so please vote individually for these tools, i.e.
Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook etc.
