How to create something as a – so called – “Resident”, what you find not attractive as a – so called – “Visitor”?

Writing a Blog here produces a lot of resistance inside the author, since blogs usually do not keep my attention, are not attractive due to ineffective way of presenting knowledge. That as a starting point, it will be a journey of discovery, if there is anything useful for learning and teaching through a blog.

Let`s look at the idea of “Resident” and “Visitor” – as I got introduced in topic 1 of the course. Moving around so often in the physical world and be just a resident in my home town Berlin again, made for me clear, that this metaphors do not work for the digital world.

“Participation” seems to be for me the better metaphor to describe the level of “interacting” with all the stuff in the digital world. Motivation to participate, access to participate, security to participate, not at least knowledge and experience, how to participate, influence the intensity of participation.

My identity in the digital world is not divided in “Resident” and “Visitor”, but participating or not with good reasons.

I try new ways of digital communication and tools, which are new to me. The following Padlet shows my short reflection of my first Tweetchat.https://padlet.com/onlinelehre0/34rpww694ajby67b

Participant – not „Visitor“ or „Resident“
