What is my is my Digital Identity\/Digital Presence? I have a Facebook account, a LinkedIn account, and I had a web site for a business I ran. How much of my life is searchable? I did a Google search on my name and found some interesting information. The top hit was my LinkedIn account, a few hits down was a link to Zoominfo, an AI platform for go-to-market teams. A page or two later was a link to the post I put on LinkedIn about the Virtual Symposium at RRU. The most interesting thing was the writeup that the AI platform did on me, nothing incorrect, but very polished with a few items left out. My current DIDP is the recounting of my work and education thus far, facts, no opinions, no plans or ideas or speculations, very basic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it wasn\u2019t for this course requiring me to keep a blog, I probably would never consider creating more of an online presence than I already have. As I read more on the subject and gain a greater understanding of the impact that a digital identity and presence can have, my view is changing. I do not see myself living my life online, but using the internet to connect with others and share ideas related to work and school could have some benefits. Using my blog to share ideas and solicit feedback at school and sharing innovations and successes at work and school on LinkedIn are the two goals I will strive towards to cultivate my Digital Presence and Identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me to achieve my goals, I will have to overcome my posting paralysis and become more comfortable with sharing my ideas and writing. The MALAT program at RRU uses open education practices to help develop a digital mindset, part of that is posting material into blogs, this practice will help me create a digital presence and shape my identity. As I move through the next two years of study I will add to my LinkedIn presence by posting content and commenting on others posts, trying to add value and share ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 I have made approximately four posts to the public digital world, this is one of them. My preferred form of communication is face to face, talking to someone makes it easier to adjust to the ebb and flow of the shared information. I am good at expressing myself and gaining understanding of someone\u2019s perspective when we are in direct dialog, it is harder for me to achieve this when the communication is written. Add to this my lack of understanding of the software being used and it gets harder to feel comfortable sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To overcome my knowledge gaps will require diving deeper into the required readings and asking for support from classmates, instructors and those around me. Practicing written communication by doing assignments, typing and sharing notes with team members will also help to develop skills and bridge the communication gap. The more I post the easier it should become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I start to feel comfortable posting a blog and each sentence takes less than five minutes to write, success is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
