In what ways are you establishing your digital identity as you document various elements of your life? In the #WalkMyWorld project, how are you making your private history public online? How does the use of digital texts and tools modify the history or identity that you share?
When I began the IT&DML program at UNH I thought I knew so many things about technology and about my digital identity. I had my Twitter account private, my Facebook account private, and I thought I was doing everything right. Now I have a public Twitter account and my Facebook is still private but I'm still learning how to do everything right!
My digital identity is out there for the world to see. I have my blog, my learning hub, my YouTube Channel, my Google+ information, and of course my trusty public Twitter. I'm choosing to use these various tools to establish my digital identity for my teacher/student life. I want my Facebook,etc. to continue to be "private" that is part of my life that I want for my family and "friends".
By being apart of the #WalkMyWorld project I have made bits and pieces of my private history public online. The first part of the project was showing the front door of my house. I have continue to allow the public into various private parts of my life. The use of digital texts and tools has modified the history and the identity I share. Without them I wouldn't be able to share half of the things that I have posted. Actually all of them, thank you Twitter!
#WalkMyWorld has been an interesting project to be apart of. I will continue to grow my digital identity one day at a time. I'm not that interesting most of the time. I doubt that the public will want the paparazzi outside my door. But as with most things you never know!
