I will need to expand my knowledge and usage by sharing industry posts and contribute meaningfully to discussions that revolve around the education and learning technology field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Twitter:\n<ul>\n<li>To be honest, I have used Twitter sparingly as I feel it\u2019s just a platform for a lot of noise with little benefit. However, Twitter has enabled me to connect directly with industry professionals and quickly dive into the various insights that these professionals offer.<\/li>\n<li>Going forward, my goal is to contribute meaningfully in the Twittersphere and I will do that by following my cohort, industry professionals, and organizations plus ensure to engage actively in online conversations by sharing of insights that I learn along the way. It will be about building my presence within the Twitter community but doing so to where the contribution I make is a positive one and not just adding to the clutter.<\/li>\n<li>Success can be measured by the increase in the amount of followers I have plus any retweets and conversations that ensue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress:\n<ul>\n<li>I have utilized WordPress in the past for my seasonal southern barbecue business website so I am familiar with the layout and functionality of this application.<\/li>\n<li>My plan is to contribute content to my MALAT blog as required for the program plus start adding my own posts in order to build trust and a knowledge base within the industry.<\/li>\n<li>Having access to our MALAT blogs after completing my degree will also be beneficial as I will continue to build upon the information that I place within it. This will also expand my digital footprint within the field of education and technology.<\/li>\n<li>Success can be measured by the amount of traffic that flows through my blog and the comments that are left by people outside of the MALAT program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have to admit that I\u2019m quite conflicted with the cultivation of an online presence. On one hand I fully understand that having a noticeable presence is the new digital currency yet I\u2019m quite protective of my privacy and do not like to be the centre of attention. So it will be a fine balance moving forward in order to build my network but not lose myself in the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part of our ongoing foray into the realm of Digital Learning Environments, Networks &amp; Communities is to create a plan to support the cultivation of our digital presence and digital identity.
