This week we were given the task of looking at ourselves online. As I have completed EDTC 300, I was informed of many new tools and ways to grow my PLN (Personal Learning Network). Growing up I was always taught to be careful of what I posted, although I was told this I never realized the importance till I started University. My digital identity tells others that I am passionate about what I am learning, it tells others that I am on my way to change the way of learning. The accounts I use everyday are more public than private. My Instagram, student Twitter, ePortfolio accounts are public, my Facebook, Youtube, personal Twitter are all on private. I don’t post anything on my personal twitter, along with my Youtube but they do tie into my everyday life. The reason I do this is because I find that some things are better kept private from others. I share the important facts about who I am and what I inspire to be. I would like to work on how I approach digital identity, keeping my life separate from the student's life. All throughout my high school, our teachers would not accept any friend requests or questions about their social media until after we had graduated. I plan to keep my personal life separate from my students, using only public accounts that show my teaching abilities and ideas. This step of separation will create a better balanced digital identity and show a journey I am proud of.
