This document discusses the concept of a "digital habitus" and how new technologies are reshaping human behaviors and culture. It argues that as technologies become more embedded in everyday life, they influence the formation of new values, dispositions, and cultural capital or ways of engaging in the world. The document suggests educators need to understand students' digital habitus and how this interacts with institutional culture and structures to better support personalized and meaningful learning experiences.

21. “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

22. Habitus + embodied Cultural Capital A tool to reflect on our practices and those of our students

23. What digital habitus do educators bring to the classroom

24. How are these habitus connected with those of the students?
