The document discusses the impact of social media and technology on teaching, learning, and literacy. It argues that technological environments actively reshape both people and technologies. While students may be proficient users of technology, there is little evidence they understand how to transfer skills across platforms. The document advocates for nurturing a "digital habitus," which refers to a new set of values and practices developed through participation and agency with digital tools and social media.

6. Any technology tends to
create a new human
environment...
Technological environments
are not merely passive
containers of people but are
active processes that
reshape people and other
technologies alike.
M. Mcluhan, 1962

13. “Learners do not appear ‘to see beyond’
the immediately obvious functionality of
the technology and there is little evidence
of transfer”
Clark et al, 2008, p.68

14. “To possess the machines,
[they] only need economic
capital; to appropriate them
and use them in accordance
with their specific purpose
[they] must have access to
embodied cultural capital,
either in person or by proxy”
Pierre Bourdieu
1986

15. The beginning of a new habitus
(that needs to be nurtured; not ignored)
How we do things around
here
historical continuum
Dispositions

16. Technology…
How we do
things
around here
How they do
things
around here
change
disrupts the historical continuum

17. Digital Habitus  specific set of
values/practices
Participation
Agency

18. Social Media is a Mindset!
