The act of creating a Visitor\/Resident typology<\/em>, presented as an alternative to Prensky’s (2001) Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants typology<\/em>, was thought-provoking. White and Le Cornu, (2011) in the Visitor\/Resident typology present us with useful distinctions about how we behave and interact with the Internet\/Web based on our interests, needs, and the context of our usage. The act of using White and Le Cornu’s Visitor\/Resident continuum, and then following White’s demonstration of adding another axis to address the distinctions between Personal and Business\/Institutional uses, further illuminated interesting personal patterns. It has been just over the last year of my personal and professional journeys that I have ventured more along White and Le Cornu’s continuum to the Resident quadrants of this typology; previously, I was more content to use the sources and services on the Internet (as a visitor) versus creatively or collaboratively adding content (as a resident) that would stay there, even after I had signed out of the app. Education, both personally and professionally have motivated me to engage more as a resident; I have seen myself grow both personally and professionally as a result. As we discussed in class, it is not necessarily better <\/em>to be more active on the resident or<\/em> visitor areas of the continuum, just different, due to different motivating factors and contexts, both personal and professional (or institutional).<\/p>\n White, D., & Le Cornu, A.
