This document summarizes key ideas from the provided text about critical pedagogy and organic writing. It discusses how critical pedagogy interrogates power hierarchies and is emergent and not ideologically neutral. It also discusses how organic writing is generative and maximized in the digital environment by rebuilding audience, exposing composition layers, and inviting participation. The summary is in 3 sentences as requested.

1. “Unless the mass of workers are to be blind cogs and pinions in the
apparatus they employ, they must have some understanding of the
physical and social facts behind and ahead of the material and
appliances with which they are dealing.”

The “critical” in critical pedagogy functions in several registers:
•Critical, as in mission-critical, essential;
•Critical, as in literary criticism and critique, providing definitions and
interpretation;
•Critical, as in a reflective and nuanced approach to a thing;
•Critical, as in criticizing institutional or corporate impediments to learning;
•Critical Pedagogy, as a disciplinary approach, which inflects (and is inflected
by) each of these other meanings.

8. “Everybody is an intellectual in that we all have the capacity to think,
produce ideas, be self-critical . . . [This] demands a new kind kind of literacy
and critical understanding with respect to the emergence of the new
media and electronic technologies, and the new and powerful role they
play as instruments of public pedagogy.”

9. Organic Writing

“The act of writing is organic and generative . . . Digital environments
maximize the potential for organic writing in three distinct ways: they rebuild
“audience,” expose the organic layers of a composition, and invite outside
participation in key stages along the way.”

15. all learning is necessarily hybrid
Hybrid Pedagogy is an open-access journal that
: is not ideologically neutral;
: connects discussions of critical pedagogy, digital pedagogy, and online pedagogy;
: brings higher education and K-12 teachers into conversation with the e-learning and
open education communities;
: considers our personal and professional hybridity;
: disrupts distinctions between students, teachers, and learners;
: explores the relationship between pedagogy and scholarship;
: invites its audience to participate in (and be an integral part of) the peer review process;
: and thus interrogates (and makes transparent) academic publishing practices.
