In Unit 2 – Activity 2, I created a map of my technology use by applying White and Le Cornu\u2019s visitor-resident typology (2011). The map demonstrates a resourceful insight to my digital presence which emerges in more digital spaces than I expected. I predict that my digital presence in the resident spectrum will further develop with the increase of knowledge and awareness of new technologies, media platforms and digital tools over the next two years. Schryver\u2019s (2013) question in her blog, \u201cAre you the \u2018Real You\u2019 online?\u201d causes me to have some deep thoughts about my digital identity. I believe I have been representing my authentic self; however, I also edit my photos because I want to be reasonably presentable in public.  How much editing is acceptable to still show the real you? I think I will continue to define my digital identity throughout this course.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the following sections, I will discuss my overall goal and purpose by cultivating digital identity and digital presence, my approach for achieving this goal, strengths and weaknesses, strategies to address the identified knowledge gaps, and KPI (Key Performance Indicator) metric for measures of success.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Overall goal and purpose by cultivating my DIDP <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying connected with my family, friends, colleagues, travelers and bloggers that I follow around the globe is a modest statement for my overall goal. By cultivating my digital identity and digital presence via numerous digital tools and applications such as Facebook, Instagram, Skype and LinkedIn which are classified as social learning technologies (Dron and Anderson, 2014, p. 11) that \u201cextend the possibilities for us to help one another to learn in ways that were difficult or impossible in the past\u201d (Dron and Anderson, 2014, p. 9), I desire to learn together and establish life-long learning relationships with other stakeholders in the community. To further develop my goals and objectives, I concentrate on Beetham\u2019s (2015) six elements of building digital capability. See Figure 1 below for more details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengths and Weaknesses<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am self-motivated, and a solid team player who has experience working in an intricate environment. Through discussions and synergies created amongst our cohort who are mostly working in different sectors than me, I gained valuable experience in identifying solutions and implementing practices that my present role might not have otherwise encountered. With an open mindset and positive attitude, it sets the integral to the success of the digital learning community. This week marks the first month of my enrollment with the MALAT program. So far, the four main areas that I would like to advance and develop are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
