#DigPINS 2019
My #DigPINS Journey When I joined the summer 2019 DigPINS cohort I had a morsel of an idea to create a hybrid online/in person course to offer during May term. As a result of careful contemplation of the readings and fellow DigPIN-er blog posts, I …
Week 4! What does our institution owe us?

Growing Up in the Digital World
The readings for this week brought back a lot of fond memories from my childhood. After reading through Seaman’s article, and reading all about how she was able to join these sub-communities and build strong connections with people she never intended on meeting, I was …
Confronting the Dragon
I have found the week 2 materials both enlightening and frustrating. Enlightening as I recognize that in many ways I have been developing a PLN without knowing it (joining forums dedicated to my work and interests, collaborating with others met through like-minded groups, etc.). A …
