So what of our habitual use of digital media? Do these constitute a digital habitus? When we observe our digital representations, our lives portrayed on screen, and our ideas played out in a virtual simulacrum of reality, what do we see? Does the digital trail we leave online represent any part of our real lives?

Students no longer passively absorb content, because they own personal digital devices, and they can use these to produce, organise, repurpose and share their own content. Co-production of knowledge is emerging as a new model for learning in the digital age. Students become teachers and teachers become students. Unported License.

I pointed out recently that many of the older theories of pedagogy were formulated in a pre-digital age. I blogged about some of the new theories that seem appropriate as explanatory frameworks for learning in a digital age. I questioned whether the old models are anachronistic. I will be interested in your views. Unported License.

To me it resembles a global digital tribe. Whether or not we realise it, if we regularly use social media, we are members of the world wide digital tribe. The global digital tribe has many smaller sub-sets we can call clans. Facebook is currently the largest of the digital totems in the social media universe.

If rapid elearning software makes everyone an instructional designer, then surely a digital camera makes us all photographers. Obviously, this approach doesn’t work for everyone and taking good photos is an art in itself. However, when you get into the office to edit the photo you see that the image is a little out of focus.

Learners with digital technology can discover for themselves, and drive their own learning, but it will be less structured than formal educational processes. It is exploratory, rule-less and rhizomatic , where the learner discovers for herself any number of divergent nodes of knowledge, and random corridors of travel. Unported License.
