"Greetings, welcome to this blog space. You may ask what is the purpose of this space?

The purpose of this space, is to conceptualise ideas and ideologies on pedagogy of the past, in aims to develop on the technological tools of the present.

Prior to commencing, I would like to articulate my pedagogical principles, which will serve as a “compass” for this blog, as these values significantly influence my ideas on "successful practice."

To put it succinctly and precisely: Pestalozzi’s conviction that educators ought to establish a reciprocal connection with pupils, whilst Freire regarded both parties as learners.

In some criticism to my standpoint, Freire’s work and ideas were most fruitful in the realm of adult education, and his exclusive focus was on instructing adults in "oppression"

To the contrary, I contend that the efficacy of his values can be attributed to the fact that secondary school students mature into adults.

However, how exactly does one define successful teaching practice? Should success be measured by the quantity of knowledge imparted to students, the quantity of abilities imparted to students, or both? What are the qualities and values that our students have internalised with our assistance?

There are numerous possible definitions of "successful practice"; therefore, for the sake of simplicity, throughout this blog we will focus on three areas that are highly linked to my own values of successful practice; Attainment, Perseverance and Cognitive development.

The following definition will be thoroughly examined in part 3. We will analyse many philosophical perspectives and elaborate on this definition.

During this blog we will examine the effects of technology on pedagogy, its prevalence and dominance in our daily lives, and its use in and out of the classroom.

To sum up, as author and as reader, we will both explore the past, the work of a handful of great philosophers whilst attempting to address and solve a few pedagogical problems of today."
