In looking at my own digital presence and mapping how all of my uses, uploads and platforms collide in this digital world has been an interesting task. Somewhere about halfway through creating my digital presence\/footprint, I decided to make two maps. One that represents where I am now, and one that represents where I was at the beginning of the MALAT program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the assignment isn’t technically designed for the few folks like me in this course who are at the end of our journey… but hey, curve balls deserve creative solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a look at how my map would have<\/em> looked two years ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let’s have a look at today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find interesting is the void area in the ‘Personal\/Resident’ quadrant. It seems that I do not have any digital space that is truly just personal and comfortable. The platforms that I see as personal, also tend to bleed into my professional. What does that mean to me? About me? I will let y’all know when I figure that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, and more obvious is the additive presence in my professional comfort zones in digital spaces. The MALAT program has built up my confidence for trying new and unknown digital arenas. These maps for example, are a product of an unknown-to-me tool called Whimsical<\/a>. I felt like trying something new, and so I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is my take-away from this assignment; don’t be afraid of digital spaces, instead try something new. You just might like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
