- 37. Learners need to practice and experiment with different ways of enacting their identities, and adopt subject positions through different social technologies and media. These opportunities can only be supported by academic staff who are themselves engaged in digital practices and questioning their own relationship with knowledge. - Keri Facer & Neil Selwyn (2010) Rethinking Learning for a Digital Age

- 44. How much of your digital identity do you share with your students? How does using social & participatory media change power relations between students and teachers/lecturers, if at all? What are the biggest challenges in using social media in formal education, for students, for educators, for institutions?

- DI = online personaThis photos captures some of the ambivalence that many of us feel about our digital identities. Many of us are open, networked educatorsso it might not be easy to remember what it was like when you first ventured into open social spaces online. What was it like engaging with authors of work you had studied? What was it like when they responded to you? How confident did you feel? It’s a process! And THIS is the process that I think is so useful for us to invite our students to engage in, to mentor and model and lead.... Many students already have a confident social digital identity, but developing an identitiy as a learner, a writer, a scholar, a citizen…. these are the essential tasks of us as educators. In the classroom and online, together.
- Unfortunately, I’m not *quite* a local ;)I was born & raised in the Bronx, though I now live in beautiful Kinvara with my family. I’m absolutely delighted to be claimed as a local though…. THANKS!I work at NUIG…
- Not connected/limited by geography, space, time... but connected by our own ideas, passion, commitment via social media.
- Elements of our DI include information that we create ourselves -- as well as information about us which is posted by others.

- This is not a MOOC.This is not an open programme.This is a typical BSc programme, UG, mostly school leavers
- Knowledge NOT= CurriculumKnowledge = “a living landscape of communities of practice that contribute in various ways” to our learning and to our identitiesSo… HOW do we do this?!
- Huge literature review... (social awareness)Social engagement – enable learners to challenge, change & shape their worlds.Each person needs to find their own digital voice & Personal Digital EnvironmentEach person needs to navigate across digital landscapes
- Google+ was useful for more in-depth reflections, e.g....
- And... a reflection on Khan Academy.
- We agreed to use Twitter as a tool throughout the course… have used G+ in the past, but there were some issues with that.Use a class Twitter account and hashtag. Invokes digital identity immediately!Must discuss and explore first... privacy, identity in online spaces, etc. Who am I on Google? Who am I here? In this class? Who is the audience?
- Privacy is a HUGE issue for students. When I introduce DI… groan… we were beat over the head with protect / be careful / privacy!In some senses effective, in others, students have shut down.
- It’s not the audience! It’s your context within the audience. American internet entrepreneur from NYC, noted for founding the websites 4chan and Canvas. He originally started 4chan anonymously, under the pseudonym moot.
- If there is a way for people to influence or even control the power structures, cognitive effects, social impacts of digital media and networked publics it is through know-how. how to use social media intelligently, humanely, and mindfully. What we know matters, and how we know matters. 5 essential literacies for a world of mobile, social, and always-on media: attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network know-how. The effects of these literacies can both empower the individuals who master them and improve the quality of the digital culture commons.
- PERFORMATIVE – constituted through practicesQUANTIFIED – clicks, follows, @s, likes, Klout, etc…. Like it or not!PARTICIPATORY – merging of production and consumptionASYNCHRONOUS – beautiful thing of creating your own moment, your own space to respond to othersENMESHED – atoms and bits, Nathan JurgensonNEOLIBERAL – ME, Inc. to what extent are we a BRAND?
