In response to the question, ‘What comes to mind when you think about the role of social media in personalized learning?’, I captured the following word cloud of responses. This visual highlights the key concepts and ideas that were most frequently mentioned.
This week you will learn more about Digital Identity. Please consider the following questions while reviewing the readings.

Readings for Next Week
Identity-Making and Social Media
Digital professional identity: Dear Internet! Who am I?
For this week, please add at least three annotations to the texts. You might annotate something that you would like to discuss more thoroughly, have questions about, or something you strongly agree or disagree with. You can also reply to the annotations your peers make, engaging in discussion as needed.
Each week, I appreciate you completing the annotations by the Tuesday before our next class.
If you are having trouble or have questions about annotating with Hypothes.is, please reach out to me directly, I am here to help!
Following the discussion of the week, there are two videos that deepen our understanding of the subject.
Our digital identities matter and we are lifelong learners with digital channels. In this video, Eric Stoller discussed how social media create pathways for learning, teaching, and engagement and how this can affect our digital identity.
Digital identity can increase political and social inclusion, facilitate protection of rights, and promote transparency. It can also drive inclusive economic growth and create substantial value for individuals, governments, and businesses around the world.
