As part of my MALAT program and the 521 course, I have been asked to consider my digital identity and digital presence. How visible am I on the internet? If someone were to search for my name on Google, what would they find? Currently, according to White and Cornu’s (2011) classification, I am more of a visitor than a resident. I am more of a consumer, than a producer of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would like to see this change in a few ways. I would like to see this change so that I am more of a resident. There are a few technologies that I identified in my technology map (Guichon, 2022), that would like to see my digital presence become more known. LinkedIn, GitHub, Youtube, and Twitter are 4 of those technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For LinkedIn, I’d like to connect with more of my students. I would like to encourage them during class time to add me on their account. The reason for this is I would like to connect with recent graduates after they have found their first jobs and reflect back on their education. Did they get the job and skills they were hoping for from their education? What skills did they learn on the job, that they wished they learned from school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For GitHub, I’d like to find some open-source programming projects that interest me that I could contribute to. Also, I’d like to take some of previous projects and add them to the open-source community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Youtube, I’d like to take some of my lessons from my class and publish them publicly. Currently all my videos are unlisted and only shared from closed systems like the classes’s internal LMS. By making them public, people would be able to search my name, see my teaching style, and hopefully learn a few things too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twitter. This one I have been avoiding for a long time. I have found the immediacy and the shortness of the messages on Twitter potentially problematic as I might be inclined to post my inner thoughts before reflecting on whether or not they should be public. However, another student in my MALAT cohort pointed out that if you create content, cultivate a digital identity, but no one knows about it, it will be wasted. I believe for my digital presence to be known, I will need to promote it and perhaps a Twitter account may be a way to do this. I am curious to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I said up until now I have been happy with a limited profile online, but by taking 521, I am starting to see the potential value of having more of a digital identity and I am willing to explore it a bit further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
