Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies reflection My most memorable interaction with technology was in primary school. We learnt how to switch on a computer, wiggle the mouse and right click. I was not particularly enthused as lessons were a prerequisite until a friend of mine started showing off her fast typing skills. My […]
In today’s interconnected world, the digital landscape has become an indispensable arena for learning, collaboration, and growth. As I embarked on the journey of joining an Open Networked Learning (ONL) community, I found myself immersed in an environment where participation and digital literacies reign supreme.

Upon learning that I would be part of this iteration I was really very excited. I get to learn new “things”, new technologies, new people (albeit being a bit of an introvert). There was a bit of uncertainty in the beginning – almost chaotic – but not really. If you get what I mean? Organised […]
Part I: Call me a Luddite, if you must, but don’t say I’m a digital native I think my journey in this “digital age” – whatever that is supposed to mean – is quite typical for a Western, middle-class young millennial. It went something like this: There were a couple of computers around me when […]
SCHOOLING OR SHOALING? My initial motivation for applying to an open networked learning (ONL) course and becoming a more active participant in online learning, was to experience it as a learner but also to be able to transfer what I have learned to my students and my work in general in the future.

Even though I may be the most experienced at my workplace when it comes to working with online courses and digital tools, I have still embarked on ONL 241. I signed up for the course because I felt I needed inspiration and started to feel a bit stuck in my thinking and in my approach […]
I’m attending the ONL 241 course which is very challenging as I don’t have much available time (as many other people). But I’m finding it very interesting and useful! Last week I watched the recording of the webinar with David White which was very inspiring. David challenged the participants to draw a map of their […]
