As a teacher, I think about the visitor and resident spectrum in relation to my students and what I wrote in my previous post about residency being about learning the rules and becoming comfortable within a digital space. I teach a couple of courses that are given online to students with a fairly wide variety […]
Like most of us taking ONL222 I found it easy to relate to the idea of being visitors and residents in the digital world. Depending on what place you are in, like an app or site, you can either be comfortable, know the rules and your way around as a resident, or be uncomfortable, not […]

I was warned. I was warned about how engaging the course would be. I love the different groups reflections, tools they used – how different everyone interpreted the use case. I guess I added some reference to the former blog post. I am not sure this is what is expected. I am simply unsure. But […]
