This document discusses the concept of "digi-grasping", which refers to actively making sense of and existing in a world that consists of both the digital and physical. Digi-grasping is not necessarily a conscious process, but involves the bodily experience of interfacing between the digital and physical. Understanding digi-grasping can help empower people to actively participate in an increasingly digitalized world in a way that shapes positive futures. The document provides examples of different ways of existing in the space between the digital and physical, from being just a passive user to an ethical and creative being, and discusses how digi-grasping can inform how we teach digital technologies.
