Building a Digital Learning Culture by Rethinking Pedagogies for the 21st Century

The new digital learning culture requires teachers to evolve with a learner-centred mindset and to become digital teaching designers, mentors, facilitators, and evaluators who effectively integrate technology into the educational context. Moreover, the digital learning culture has also led to a change in the roles of teachers as digital classroom managers as well as computational-thinking designers. This chapter discusses the effective integration of technology in building a new digital learning culture by considering existing and emerging pedagogies, teaching methods, and learning activities. The discussion centres on how to effectively integrate technology and create a new digital learning culture framed according to the 2017 ISTE Standards for Educators, where teachers are expected to model learner, leader, citizen, collaborator, designer, facilitator, and analyst roles throughout their profession.
