Dron and Anderson (2014) have categorized the social forms of learning from online connections into groups, sets, networks and collectives. While I see opportunity to be part of any of theses social forms of learning, I see my involvement in networks to be most applicable to my current goals associated with cultivating my digital identity and presence.<\/p>\n<p>In participating in networks as a learning opportunity, I relate to the importance of digital capability as outlines in Beetham\u2019s (2015) blog post, specifically the learner example.\u00a0 In working on building digital capability, there is a large list of skills that are important (Beetham, 2015).\u00a0 The main skill I need to work on is digital communication such as \u201ccommunicate with other people in a range of digital media\u201d\u00a0(Beetham, 2015).\u00a0 A tangible first step in developing this skill is using Twitter to share this blog post!<\/p>\n<p>Learning opportunities arise from connections online. By increasing my digital communication, primarily through Twitter, I can work on cultivating my digital presence specifically in networks.<\/p>\n<h1>References<\/h1>\n<p>Beetham, H.
