When I first started researching digital natives and digital visitors I already had my own opinion on the subject – that you are either one or the other for a particular platform. However I’ve come to understand that this can be seen as more of a spectrum. Many argue that the two labels aren’t mutually exclusive and can be seen as a continuum where you float back and forth between the two which is something I discovered on Phoebe’s article.

Intro Topic – Reflection

Created by Joanna Fairey using Canva Before starting this module, I was guilty of assuming that it would be ‘easier’ than my conventional degree-specific modules. I quickly realised, however, that just setting up my own blog on WordPress challenged my technical abilities (despite having concluded that I was a digital ‘native’!).
