How will I cultivate my digital presence and digital identity? Where do I start? How do I want to present myself? What is my purpose?<\/p>\n
As I reflected on these questions to figure out where to begin, I decided to Google the subject in order to help generate some ideas. The first few articles that came up were focused on digital branding and digital marketing of one\u2019s company. This is not what I was really looking for; however, I did read a couple of articles to give my brain a kickstart. I then decided to refine my search to \u201ccultivating a digital presence\u201d and found an Open Access article which was perfect, \u201cCultivating Your Academic Online Presence\u201d. The authors, Shannon Lucky and Joseph E. Rubin, state that \u201cthere are a few things you can do to take control of your online identity with the goal of making sure you show up where it matters, and that the information is curated and relevant to your professional identity\u201d. They also continue to say that the key thing to remember when creating your digital presence and digital identity is to look at it \u201cthrough the eyes of a future colleague, collaborator, student or manager.\u201d These are points that I definitely want to keep in mind when cultivating my digital identity. I would like to keep it professional and relevant. My future directions for my online presence would be to open up new opportunities in research and education. My current goals for my program would be the following:<\/p>\n
I feel that as I develop my online presence and identity, my goals will eventually evolve. I will ensure that I maintain my blog (i.e. posting and commenting) continuously, share information by posting on Twitter or on my blog and engage others.<\/p>\n
Knowledge gap\u2026when thinking about this aspect of my plan, I will need to do my research on a lot of topics for me to grow professionally and personally. So, I feel that this will keep developing through my posts, reading posts and comments from my cohort, etc.<\/p>\n
The measure of success for me would be to have people engaged. Another method to measure success would be to possibly use Google Analytics (Lucky and Rubin, 2017) to track views of my blog. This is something that I will need to do more research about.<\/p>\n
A plan in progress…<\/p>\n
