Blogging: What can be demanded of teachers and students?

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Elisabeth Rolf

When it comes to digital technology, we are in many ways ‘swimming in water’. We cannot see the components that constitute the water (chemistry), how it is related to environmental issues (biology), who has access to it and who has not (economy) et cetera. Instead, we tend to focus on different ways to survive in […]

Digital distraction in class

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Patrik Holm

When investigating Topic 1 in the ONL-course I stumbled upon a problem I’ve been thinking about in the classroom. The problem of students being tempted to use their electronic devices for off-topic activities and thus draw attention from the learning activity at hand. I found an article by Neiterman and Zaza (2019) where they investigate […]

Hi there! Yesterday, we had the first Tweetchat of #ONL192 with David White on the topic of digital literacies and online participation. The event was a great success with plenty of participants and more than 200 tweets fired away in just one hour! There were many great, small conversations going on, just as you please […]

My digital identity

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Karin Bergman

The topic for the last two weeks has been online participation and digital literacies. I really like the idea that we should talk about digital literacies in plural because there are so many tools and you can be fluent in one and not in another. We have talked a lot about David White’s (see e.g. […]

Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies

Posted on October 10, 2019 by M Kamala Devi

This is my first online course. In the beginning, it was rather daunting, learning how to navigate through the course materials and learning new tools, having to deal with internet connection dropping, and so forth. Nonetheless, I gained insight to a new learning experience as well as an opportunity to connect with fellow participants from […]

Thriving by pruning: Living online in retrospect

Posted on October 9, 2019 by Karin Bolldén

In this blog post, I will discuss who I am in the digital era and what have characterized my journey this far. I will do this by comparing my current state with how it looked like for five years ago, utilising the visitor-resident model. I have been living online for many years, having a presence … Continue reading Thriving by pruning: Living online in retrospect

Digital literacy? No, digital literacies!

Posted on October 9, 2019 by Christiane Schnabel

I could immediately relate to the idea that digital literacies must be plural or that digital literacy has many dimensions. And, again, I was very impressed by the webinar with so many participants. Wow. Applying David White’s concept of a continuum between visitor/resident mode and personal/institutional use I yield a trend of a diagonal from […]

Boundaries & engagement

Posted on October 9, 2019 by Heli Dahlin

Dear reader, It is almost a norm today to be digitally literate, or, at least, to aspire to be such. This is my view of the matter, at least, and I cannot seem to decide whether for me it is a dystopian view and a destructive norm to be resisted, or simply a natural consequence […]

Digital literacy and power

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Lina Rahm

In the classic text: Power, technology and the phenomenology of conventions: on being allergic to onions. Susan Lee Star shows how it is more difficult for MacDonald’s NOT to put onions on a burger than to do so. Standardization is to give preference to certain actions at the expense of others. For those who are … Continue reading Digital literacy and power →

Signal and noise

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Lina Rahm

Knowledge is to sort, select, and discard. Therefore, what is included and excluded is always a matter of power. How does it affect what we see as digital literacy (and not)?
