Welcome back for potentially the last time!
To start off we were asked to Google and ourselves and I'm not going to lie I've done this before, but this time I didn't really see anything about myself which I was kind of surprised at because when I did it before I at least found one or two thing about myself. There was a lot that I thought was mine, but when I clicked on the link it was 100% not me! After inquiring about myself on Google it would seem that my digital footprint has not grown, but I would have to disagree and say that I think that my digital footprint has grown because of all the different tools that we have explored and entered our information into and how I have visited multiple different webpages throughout the course. I would say that there has been some changes because before this class I generally stayed to the tools that I was familiar with and tended not to stray from those tools, but now that I have explored and gained some new knowledge on different tools I feel more comfortable and inclined to use those tools and share them with others.
From this course I have learned that creating a positive digital footprint is something very important to my future, I know for a fact that some companies will look you up online before they hire you to see the types of things that you are posting to social media and I want everything to be appropriate if that were ever the case for me. I also am hoping to be attending another school in the fall which is going to help me get the career of my dreams and if in any case they look up my profile on any social media or other websites I want to make sure that the things they are seeing are not inappropriate. So I think that creating this positive digital footprint is going to help in many different aspects on our lives. Between my digital foot print and living and learning in a digital world it has shown me that we are able to use the different tools we have explored for many different reasons and that I know I will most likely continue to use some of them to help me create a new way of presenting or keeping myself organized.
What I have learned about digital citizenship is that it is always important to make sure that we are posting appropriate information and information that we would want others to see. I would just encourage to make sure that they know their rights and responsibilities as a digital citizen and what it means to be learning and living in a digital world. Another lesson that I learned from this course is that through the multiple different tools that we have explored we are able to promote the quality of interactions because with the different aspects and features of all the tools we are able to comment, or work together on presentations, assignments more easily. Which all of these play into make it easier to interaction online as well.
As a digital citizen I would always promote and stand by anything or anything that is trying to stop bullying and cyber bullying because that is a major thing about being a positive digital citizen. I would try to encourage people to use many of the tools that we have to work together with others and that with the use of these tools we are able to stay in contact with other individuals more easily through text messaging, or emailing. There is one webpage that I referred to quite frequently that helped me understand the nine elements. To access this webpage click HERE. I would help others learn and work in a digital world by showing them the different tools that we have learned about and encourage them to even Google what it means to be a digital citizen and how they can work towards being a positive one. I would also encourage people to ask questions if they had any because that's what I did and after I asked the questions I gained a better understanding of what it meant to be living and working in a digital world.
Well that's it everyone, I would like to thank you all for coming back every week and reading about my experiences about all the different tools and things I have learned!
Until next time,
Amanda :)
