After watching\u00a0Just the Mapping<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Dave White (White, 2013), I began to consider how and why I use digital technology, at work and in life.\u00a0 Using White\u2019s outline, I developed my map with the aim of describing three criteria that detail my current digital technology use:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The continuum of Visitor to Resident:<\/strong> tools further to the right along the horizontal continuum indicate tools where I actively participate in the conversation by adding my own content. Those closest to the left describe those where I access content, but don\u2019t often or ever contribute.<\/li>\n
  2. How I use the tool to participate<\/strong>: tools closer to the top of the vertical continuum indicate those that I use in my personal life (Personal), whereas those closer to the bottom I typically use for work (Institutional).<\/li>\n
  3. My confidence and comfort level<\/strong>: larger icons indicate a greater degree of self-perceived mastery and higher levels of comfort using the tool. Smaller icons describe tools that I have used but do not feel like I\u2019m leveraging with any purpose other than exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As I began to plug in icons that represent various tools, I found it easiest to populate the Resident- Institutional quadrant. Likely because I often use these tools to communicate with and train team members, I have intentionally become comfortable and confident with their use. As I began to weigh my confidence and comfort level in other quadrants, I was reminded by an analogy proposed by White and Le Cornu, the Visitor zone is an \u201cuntidy garden shed\u201d (White and Le Cornu, 2011).\u00a0 The tools I represent with the smallest icons, all of which sit in the Visitor zone, are the tools that I do not leverage, because I lack confidence around their use. What stood out for me is that I am a creature of habit and tend to leverage tools that I am comfortable using.<\/p>\n

    Having the opportunity to develop a space that is mine is harrowing. As is clearly indicated on this map, I use the tools I know. I only venture towards the Resident side when using tools with which I am familiar and confident. Equally important is the lesson that I need to mindfully shift and reposition some of tools into different contexts. I won\u2019t ever have the time to be an expert in all of the tools available, so I should consider leveraging some of the tools that I enjoy using in new contexts. What an interesting self-reflection!<\/p>\n
