Blog Post #2 – What Does My Digital Identity Look Like?

Create a blog post on Personal Learning Networks and digital identity based on the readings and videos from last week and this week. Additionally, in the main Mattermost group, complete a digital identity exercise. You are encouraged to reflect on your controlled and uncontrolled social media presence – this requires you to privately source and identify the social media content that you have either created or have shared – this discussion exercise is reflective and designed to help you curate a professional digital identity while controlling private content (*note – if any content is uncomfortable to explore or discuss openly, please consider reaching out to myself or support networks).

Questions for Blog Post:

– What is a digital identity?

– How do personal versus professional approaches to digital identity affect social media use?

– How do digital identities converge in networked publics – what are the impacts and benefits?

– Can a digital wallet provide trust in networked publics?

Discuss the values of privacy, security, the sense of agency, and what is good for communities as laws, civil society, and professional spaces engage the accountability of digital identity.

January 16th, 2023 – January 22nd, 2023

Alright, EDCI 338 – You should have your blog up and be on Mattermost in the EDCI 338 group, and this week you need to introduce yourself to the group, engage in your blog and review blog introductions from other students in the course. 

Our first assignment starts now; I don’t care about word count; I care about referencing your work and drawing from multiple examples; I care about substance in your writing and reflections. I want to reinforce that your personal & professional experiences with social media make this course more engaging. You will perform better if you bring examples from your perspective to the discourse.

WEEK 2 – PLN & Public Communications

Based on the readings below, you will participate in a class discussion using MATTERMOST on Personal Learning Networks and digital identity. As well you will work within your network groups and complete a digital identity exercise exploring the following:

• What does it mean to network using social media?
• How are we motivated to participate in networked publics?
• What are the risks & rewards of public communications?
