2. WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA…..??????
The terms social media and social software have
been used synonymously. Social media is an online
environment opened for the purposes of mass
collaboration; all invited participants can create, post,
rate, enhance, discover, consume, and share content
without a direct intermediary.
Websites and applications dedicated to forums,
microblogging, social networking, social
bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the
different types of social media.

4. “Pedagogy is leading people to a place where
they can learn for themselves. It is about creating
environments and situations where people can
draw out from within themselves, and hone the
abilities they already have, to create their own
knowledge, interpret the world in their own unique
ways, and ultimately realise their full potential as
human beings.”
Steve Wheeler

5. “Pedagogical innovation is
significant positive change to the way that we
lead people to a place where they can learn for
themselves.”
These tools may include educational goals
set by the student and teacher, strategies or styles
of instruction, the educator’s own philosophical
beliefs, the student’s background knowledge and
experience, the curriculum, modern technological
devices, monitoring and test system and others.

6. In this context Innovative
Pedagogy is the study of being an
innovative educator or the processes of
innovative education/teaching. And the key
question of Innovative Pedagogy is - What
are the educational, psychological,
organizational factors/conditions that have a
formative utmost effect on the mind,
character, or physical ability of an
individual….

7. Here are main steps of thinking on innovative
process construction –
1. What is desirable for users (both students and
future employers)?
2. What is possible with curriculum and technology?
3. What is viable at educational market?
4. What is beneficial for the community?
5. What is sustainable for our environment

8. SIGNIFICANCE
 The role of teachers has shifted from being
a subject matter expert who transmits
information to acting as a facilitator of
student learning in the knowledge society.
Current reforms emphasize teachers
develop students' capabilities in problem
solving, teamwork, and learning to learn,
reflective thinking.

9. DIFFERENT WAYS OF TEACHING, DIFFERENT
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES
 Every teacher develops his/her own way of
teaching, he/she uses a personal pedagogy. This is
often defined as the way teachers teach their
pupils. According to the literature, there are different
kinds of pedagogies. The pedagogies I find
interesting, are:
 - Learning by listening
 - Discovery learning
 - Learning by doing
 - Learning through discussion and debate
 - Blended learning
