Pinterest, Twitter, Google+, My E-portfolio, a blog post I submitted for Special Olympics, Facebook, and a newspaper article about a scholarship I received.
Overall I would say that I have a pretty good Digital Identity. I would also say that it reflects who I am "in real life" as well.
We had a presentation this week which talked about technology in the classroom. I liked what he was doing in the classroom with Twitter and teaching his students to connect with professionals. I especially liked that he was teaching them to be selective about what questions they ask and to follow through with conversations and be polite and professional. He also talked about how he uses Twitter Chats to teach students to defend their opinions with facts. Basically, all skills that they will use in their everyday life but a safe and fun way to practice it. It also helps them to create a positive digital identity even before they leave high school.
I would like to do something like this in my own classroom someday.
