I love that your title was posted in spanish. I think this makes a powerful statement in itself on radical pedagogy—centering what is typically marginalized in western culture.

I meant *student* in the center.

I love how big the word “student” is in y’all’s word puzzle piece. Perhaps one could say the center of education, currently, is the missing piece.

I loved y’all’s “not a word cloud.” I think this is an interesting design and concept—truly interdisciplinary!

I agree. The humanistic approach is key to understanding these dichotomies. Making oneself available for that position is also about being wary of situational learning. hooks is tremendous and I love how you implemented her here. Good stuff about learning what is at hand and active engagement.

Awesome insight in your blog. It is almost like you did all the readings…… haha. bell hooks writing really comes out in this in terms of engagement with learning and teaching. Discussiion is key to being involved in such a process. Great stuff!

I really enjoyed the visual depiction of pedagogy. I think that today communication is key to presenting education in a manner that can be understood. I really think our readings implement an understanding of engagement and self-reflection that is evident in your gifs.

Good afternoon Sarah,

Yes, I’m absolutely obsessed with learning the names and stories behind every student. I know it sounds crazy but my job as a professor is to transform lives and I can’t do that if I’m not even knowledgeable about basic details. I can’t tell you how many students have come up to me here at VT after I’ve given a guest lecture and begged for me to teach the class, all because I connect with them on an emotional level and can talk about the “real” world with “real” examples and relate it to the theory at hand.

Thanks!

Cheers, Lehi

Good afternoon team,

I love how your “word” definition catered to both the perspective of the teacher and the student. It allows accountability for both which I think is super critical when discussing education as it should be a 360 degree process. YES………..”knowledge is living and falters when stagnant”. Absolutely correct! Great job!

Thanks!

Cheers, Lehi

Good afternoon,

I’m absolutely in love with your “word” definition! Captivated by the words vulnerability, pluralism and democracy. What a different learning experience I would have had thus far in my Ph.D. program if this was the mission statement for my college. Great job!

Thanks!
