Mapping My Digital Engagement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating this map using the resident\u2013visitor typology (White & Le Cornu, 2011) pushed me to reflect on how I actually engage with digital tools, not just which ones I use.

On the visitor side, I use tools like Google and YouTube to go in, find what I need, and leave. In contrast, platforms where I maintain an identity and engage over time feel more like resident spaces, such as Gmail, LinkedIn, ChatGPT, and my WebSpace blog.

I was surprised at how much of a digital footprint I have in the institutional\/resident quadrant. This reflects my role as both an instructor and a student. Tools like Teams, Zoom, Moodle, Azure DevOps, and Outlook are part of my daily workflow and involve ongoing interaction, so they sit more on the resident side.

I also noticed that some tools, like Google Drive and YouTube, shift depending on how I use them. This showed me that my digital engagement isn\u2019t fixed, but changes with context.

Considering Dave Cormier\u2019s (2018) alternative tension pair of analogue\u2013digital and individual\u2013collaborative adds a new perspective to my map. While the resident\u2013visitor framework helped me understand how I engage with tools, this looks at how I interact and work within those spaces. For example, tools like Teams, Discord, and Zoom fall into the digital and collaborative quadrant, reinforcing how much of my work and learning is shaped by interaction with others. In contrast, activities like searching for information or drafting ideas tend to be more individual, even when they occur in digital environments. This perspective helped me see that my digital practices are not just about presence, but also about the balance between independent work and collaboration.
