Knowledge, Learning, Community
My answer to the question "Why isn't it about the pedagogy?" is something along the lines of, "because it's about the learning, not the teaching." It's sometimes frustrating that I don't see educators getting that - though on reflection I suppose that educators will necessarily be the last to get that. But I do wish the people who repeat the mantra, "it's all about the teaching," "it's all about the pedagogy," and the like, would take a wider view (here's another one). I won't go so far as to say that the technology makes the pedagogy unnecessary, but I will say, if you're using the same pedagogy with a stick and sand as you are using with a high-speed computer network, you really don't understand teaching and learning.
