We've needed a strong pedagogical framework for digital tools since the introduction of technology into education. Hopefully this helps.
The monological form of teaching – Learning is the student's acquisition of this knowledge.Tools – distributing and intermediary tools.
The dialogical form of teaching – Learning is seen as the student's development of this inherent basis of knowledge. Tools that support students' problem oriented; simulations and more advanced learning games.
The polyphonic form of teaching – Learning is the student's participation in exchange of many different individuals' perception of the world.
Tools that support equal collaboration

Is the internet and social media influencing your brain? Documentary filmmaker Tiffany Shlain investigates our changing behaviors in the connected world.
Filmmakers like Shlain and researchers like Dr. Gary Small are pioneers in their discussions and research linking the Internet with brain activity. In a recent study, Dr. Small observed brain activity in two groups of subjects interacting with a search engine –one that was “net-savvy” and one that was “net naïve”. The results showed increased brain activity in the experienced netizens, reflecting Shlain’s hypothesis that our online behaviors stimulate more brain systems. But whether these changes are beneficial or detrimental to humans in the long run, is an ongoing debate.
Researchers have discovered that we can become addicted to the Internet just like we can become addicted to nicotine. Recent studies have validated the condition known as Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD). Those with IAD can suffer tremors, shivers, nausea and anxiety. Try breaking a gamer from their screen mid-level and you’ll immediately get a sense of the hold that this medium has on its addicts. Other negative effects include lack of sleep and shortened attention spans. Studies have shown that the average number of sleep hours per night is inversely proportionate to the average number of hours per day spent online.
However living in this connected, media-filled world isn’t all bad. According to Shlain, we’re in the process of building a global brain, one that will allow for increased ingenuity and learning. Shlain compares the development of an infant’s brain with this idea of the global brain. The more parts of the brain you connect in a child’s mind, the more creativity and insights that child will experience. According to Shlain, the same holds true for our collective conscious. The online space allows for millions of unique and imaginative minds to share their interests and skills in various communities and niches. These creative clusters hold the potential to harness creativity and mobilize an army of creative minds into action. Via Beth Dichter, Alistair Parker, Rui Guimarães Lima Delete the scoop?

The framework is based on a distinction between a monological, a dialogical, and a polyphonic form of teaching. The three forms of teaching can be distinguished by their different perceptions of how learning takes place, and by their different perceptions of the relations between subject matter, teacher and student. By considering which form of teaching one wants to practice, one may, on the basis of the pedagogical framework, assess whether it would be appropriate to use a specific tool in teaching.
changing among 4 different frameworks - interesting and short reading
"The framework is based on a distinction between a monological, a dialogical, and a polyphonic form of teaching." Very interesting.
