Reflective Questions to Ponder

• What do you see as the needs of the learners in the learning community for the development of proactive digital citizenship policies and procedures?

• Where do you see the balance between accessibility to digital technologies, effective pedagogy, creating an arena of safety and a manageable learning environment? (Hollandsworth, Dowdy & Donovan, 2011, p.39)

• How can we bridge the gap between the many dualities students experience in their daily lives between the digital world and the materiality of the physical world?(CC0) Gerd Altmann, (2013). “Question Mark,

Silhouettes, Pair, Man”
