After reading David White and Alison Le Cornu\u2019s article Visitors and Residents: A new typology for online engagement<\/a><\/span> and watching White\u2019s video Just Mapping<\/a><\/span>, I began to map out my own use of technology, and was surprised by what I discovered.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuum of discovery<\/b><\/p>\n

The self<\/i> is a treasure trove of never-ending discoveries and epiphanies. This activity challenged me to examine my use of technology and the modes in which I engage with them. In this short exercise, I became more conscious of the fact that I do a lot of compartmentalization between my personal and professional online spheres of activity. After many years of trying to balance these two worlds under the same roof, it appears there has been some spillage between compartments. But, as White explains, \u201ctechnology is causing content collapse<\/i>\u201d which is to be expected given the omnipresence nature of the web and certain services (White, 2013).<\/p>\n

On my map of Resident-Visitor typology using technology (see\u00a0Figure 1<\/span>), you will notice a few tools repeat themselves on the continuum. This is because I use the same technology (e.g. email) for different modes of engagement. We all use technology in different ways depending on the context. We\u00a0<\/span>move around, sometimes functioning more as Visitors, sometimes more as Residents, according to our motivation.\u00a0<\/span>This was a conscious effort on my part, to provide a barrier between my personal and professional life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My most active digital identity is Facebook (FB). I spent so much of my life living abroad, so this was an online space I could easily take up residency in. FB was more than a fancy address book, it was a place where I interacted with others by sharing my content: links, pictures, ideas and messages\/to keep in touch with family and friends. It felt quite satisfying to see likes and comments showing up on my posts. It was convenient to be able to see exactly what my friends were up to without having to be there face-to-face. However, since signing up for Facebook back in 2006, my engagement with the platform has dramatically decreased over the past 5 years, and I no longer feel like a true \u201cresident\u201d there. As I improve with age, broadcasting my information on Facebook appears inconsequential, therefore decreasing my motivation to engage with the platform the way I used to.<\/p>\n

Until recently, I had no active presence on Twitter. Originally, I created a Twitter profile for personal use, but never felt motivated to use it.\u00a0 Since joining the MALAT program at Royal Roads University, I decided to change this and make it increasingly institutional-residential. I am happy to report that last week, I sent out my very first tweet!<\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at different ways to integrate the use of digital technologies (e.g. social media, online games, multimedia, etc.,) into your practice makes learning more accessible, and above all else, more fun!\u00a0 As educators, it becomes important for us to remember that just by asking a student what technology they use, tells us absolutely\u00a0nothing<\/em>\u00a0about their mode of engagement. Thus, how a student engages with technology becomes the most important factor to consider, if we are looking at more ways to connect with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
