What’s mine!
Away from the institution

Just
Tools
&
ownership!
A start
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
Learning Tailored to & by me
Identification
“(…) transforming transfers of
information into a ‘real act of
knowing” (Paulo Freire)
What are
real acts of knowing
“…unhampered participation in a meaningful setting.
Most people learn best by being "with it".”
~ Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society
50 years on…
The tools arrive
A new Logic of Practice starts to
emerge…
As new
technologies
are
embedded
in day to day
activities

A new set of values and different
activities
Represent what we Do
and who we Are
The beginning of a new Habitus
(that needs to be nurtured; not ignored)
How we do things
around here
historical continuum
Dispositions
Technology…
disrupts the historical continuum
How we do
things
around here
How they do
things
around here
Digital Habitus specific set of
values
transparency
Distinction
Embodied capital cultural:
values
beliefs
principles
“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
Habitus + embodied Cultural Capital
A tool to reflect on our practices
and those of our students
What digital habitus do
educators bring to the
classroom
How are these
habitus connected
with those of the
students?
How does that affect their sense of
identification with the institution?
What does that mean to education
as a meaningful activity?
Field of participation
(democratic???)
Congregation of eclectic social
capital
Development of new dispositions
Embodiment of new cultural
capital & Habitus
Field of power (highly regulated)
Recruitment of homogeneous
(?) social capital
Maintenance of dispositions that match the field
Preservation of the field’s cultural
capital and habitus
Field of Personalisation of
learning
Congregation of heterogeneous social capital
Cultivating new dispositions
Providing cultural capital and habitus
Teacher preparation should go
beyond the technical preparation of
teachers and be rooted in the ethical
formation both of selves and of
history. ~ Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of
Freedom
HE not a provider of content; but
rather a source of cultural capital.
Learners as creators
Educators and Administrators
as enablers
Personal(isation of)
learning is a Mindset!
Digital Media
the tool that can materialise it
Need to
engage in
critical
debates!
Go beyond the mechanical
understanding of tools…
Technology
is
here to
stay
We
are all
using
it
