The term digital pedagogy is being thrown around and its is clear that it is highly misunderstood. By putting a lesson online, it does not qualify as pedagogy. A teacher that understands and embraces pedagogy, knows that it is where philosophy and practice finds ways to interact. It is the exchange of information so that learning can happen, not limit to a classroom or even a certain number of people.
According to the article, LMS are limited and they control how online teaching takes place. It created learning that took place behind a screen and learners' knowledge are tested through online quizzes. LMS settled for less innovative way of teaching and gave the illusion that online teaching was better and simpler.
My solution between LMS and pedagogy is to create proper digital education. It should motivate teachers to find creative ways to use pedadagy without eliminating the personal interaction in classrooms.

my more professional opinion on Fyfe (2011)
I recently lost my phone and was introduced to a world where i felt like I was stranded on a island and didnt even know how to make a fire. That was my first thought on the word unplugged. What does it actually mean?? What does digital pedagogy unplugged mean?? How are we as teachers suppose to balance a technology wired world while still being "present" in classroom?
Topics like this always have my head in a spin as it can go from 0-100 real quick if its not done the right way....so here is my piece on the issue....
Teaching is a hands on profession. Its really not that difficult to understand that. Therefore relying toooo much on electronic tools you might miss out on the personal interaction, the telling of stories, the engaging with your student and most importantly...the learning from each other.
Fyfe (2011) spoke about how important "teaching naked" is, where you spend most of the time engaging in class, but use podcast/youtube videos to assist after class.... Personally I think "teaching naked" is somewhat to dramatic. Times are moving at a rapid pace and you have to adapt or be left behind. Whether we like it or not, if we continue teaching like they did 60 years ago, the students will continue staring at a screen and we will lose them. We have to emplement clear guidelines in order to further technology in teaching. The use of social media and technology can be use to our advantage. We kinda still think like teenager (or i do) so why not brain storm on what will work for us and just use it in your own classroom???
