People live their lives and learn across multiple settings, and this holds true not only across the span of our lives but also across and within the institutions and communities they inhabit – even classrooms, for example. I take an approach that urges me to consider the significant overlap across these boundaries as people, tools, and practices travel through different and even contradictory contexts and activities.

JOI ITO
“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.”

THE AIM OF BONSAI
“to produce small trees that mimic the shape and style of mature, full-size trees.” “The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation (for the viewer) and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower)”

Many students already have confident social identities online, but developing identities as learners, writers, scholars, citizens — these are important tasks as part of higher education. - Catherine Cronin

ROLE OF INSTITUTION IN DIGITAL IDENTITY
If institutions of learning are going to help learners with the real challenges they face… [they] will have to shift their focus from imparting curriculum to supporting the negotiation of productive identities through landscapes of practice.” - Etienne Wenger (Digital Habitats, 2010)

ROOTS ARE YOUR INTERESTS
• What topics have yourinterest? • Will your PLN be personal, professional
or both? • Research, teaching, personal learning
or all of the above?
PRUNE ROOTS & BRANCHES REPEATEDLY
• Review: do these topics still have my interest?
• Have new topics or groups come into my PLN?
• Have new tools emerged? Should I stop using some tools?
• Talk with other practitioners…
“Listen to the tree, it tells you where it wants to go.” (Anon.)
