Given the affordances of social technologies and the fuzzy borders between networked and group ways of thinking of a CoP (Dron &amp; Andreson, 2014), I would seize every opportunity to actively cultivate\u00a0my digital presence (LinkedIn or others) that would, in turn, help me become\u00a0an intentional, networked individual within a\u00a0<em>Network of Practice<\/em> (Rainie &amp; Wellman, 2012). As Dron and Anderson support, communicating an idea or skill to others is often reinforcing or even transformative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Moreover, throughout my studies in the MALAT program, I would be able to reflect on the relevant weekly readings and gain experience in using a variety of social learning technologies such as my blog, Padlet and other social learning tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">White, D.
