Is there a difference between reflecting on information and understanding information?\u00a0 Does reflection come before understanding, after or not at all?\u00a0 In my case, I have to reflect and then go back and try to understand and reflect a little more.\u00a0 Writing a blog or modifying your digital identity includes these elements as well. \u00a0I\u2019m committed to making my digital identity journey an active and ongoing activity.<\/p>\n
LinkedIn is a fabulous network tool if<\/em> one uses it to the fullest potential.\u00a0 To grow my knowledge base and my network, I will begin to focus on all that it has to offer. \u00a0We know that \u201cnetworks are among the primary knowledge conduits of the world; throughout our lives we learn from people we know\u201d (Anderson & Dron, 2014). If I increase my networking with others and reach out to discuss ideas I will definitely learn from others and I may even inspire others at the same time.\u00a0 In addition, I will go through my existing and new (to me) contacts and endorse them. \u00a0As Anderson & Dron (2014) stated, \u201cSkills that have been tagged in a user\u2019s profile may be endorsed by those who are in the user\u2019s network, thus providing a collective view of a person\u2019s accomplishments that is both bottom-up, and in aggregate, trustworthy\u201d (p. 222).\u00a0 \u00a0Trust is a key component in any relationship. It has to be built on a day by day basis.<\/p>\n I am also going to extend myself to the uncomfortable zone and begin to participate in Twitter.\u00a0 I recognize the importance of participating in conversations as they begin because it is part of the learning dialogue.\u00a0 In addition, creating and sharing content is an important requirement of the connectivist learning pedagogies (Anderson & Dron, 2014). This can be curated through live tweets from industrial design shows and events around the world\u00a0 (Jenkins, 2018).<\/p>\n References<\/span><\/p>\n Anderson, T., & Dron, J. (2014).
