The internet is an unbounded resource with multiple ways to interact. People can simply visit the internet, perform a task and leave without a trace. Or people can become residents where their presence is left in the digital world even when they are not at the moment using the internet. In the video Visitors and Residents by Dave White, the spectra of digital technology uses are presented. My current status to the digital world is a resident. I not only use the internet to gather information and to use digital resources; I use it to interact with the world. I find myself posting, tweeting, adding to the digital collective of interactions. As a teacher, digital technology enables a richer and more extensive learning. A lab that is used to help teach the concept of populations and ecosystems has students out in the fields counting grasses and looking specifically for invasive species. This lab can be transformed with digital technology. Using digital technologies, students can observe more than just grasses. Students can observe animals at the park and use Project Noah to report sightings of invasive species. Students can use Project Noah to interact with students in other schools who are also learning about populations. Students can use twitter to engage in a global conversation about populations invading and taking over resources. Students can use the information gathered in the lab to inquiry about their community and the health of their community. With this information, students can create informational artwork or even write a letter to a local politician to enable change. With the use of digital technology, I am able to go beyond the classroom walls and facilitate meaningful learning experiences with my students. My educational philosophy is centered around using digital resources in and outside of the classroom.
