This week for 790 EDU we are taking another look at digital tattoos. In case you are wondering, your digital tattoo is the culmination of permanent data about yourself found online. In October 2017, I blogged about this for my first Tech ED course 776 EDU Integrating Technology into Programing, Services & Instruction. See https://turning-on-the lights.blogspot.com/2017/10/. I didn't have much of a digital tattoo then and, I am sorry to say, that it is about the same now.
This weeks assignment was fairly simple but boy did I find it personally difficult. Social media and a digital presence is my greatest weakness when it comes to my pursuing an endorsement in becoming a Technology Specialist. I have never been big into posting on social media. I am not necessarily a private person but I am an introvert. I created a Canva image that represents my digital presences. Check it out below.....
I would say that it is quite representative of how I am online. I have my blog, Twitter & Facebook accounts, and a professional website. I wouldn't have my blog, Twitter account, and website if it wasn't for the Technology Specialist courses I have taken. I will keep pushing myself to become more comfortable with having a consistent active digital presence online.
Your Canva image is adorable! Well done! Even though I use social media frequently, it would seem I don't use them "enough" or use the "cool ones", as my students would say. I use Facebook the most frequently. My students have told me that, "Only parents are on Facebook." :P
ReplyDeleteThese are all positive places to maintain a professional digital presence. It's ok to not have a large footprint, as long as the one you do have shows you are open to growing and sharing professionally. I love that you are open to exploring new options, though!
