 What did you learn from the blog and how did your comment contribute to the community of learners?
I learned the difference between Curriculum and Pedagogy. Curriculum is what we teach while pedagogy is how we teach it. In my comment I highlighted what he said about how it is important to understand what they are doing, not just preform it. I think that many teachers check for understanding by watching the student do it correctly and understand the process. But, many times the student can fake the understanding part and just preform a task without actually understanding the purpose and learning from it. Most comments were made by older teaching and technology people. So my comment, although simple, added a look from a current college student who has just experienced many teacher's. I know there were many times that I just faked the understanding but still did what I was supposed to do correctly. So, I got my points, but I had no idea what doing that just helped me understand.
