Digitized Development
@paulgordonbrown@paulgordonbrown

Digitized Development @paulgordonbrown is the
underlying developmental processes that inform how we understand ourselves and our behavior in digital spaces. Digitized development can carry unique properties from offline development. @paulgordonbrown

It’s A Psychological Process!

Digitized Development

MarciaBaxterMagolda’s
TheoryofSelf-Authorship

Student explores and experiments openly
with social media. This is strongly influenced by authorities (parents/guardians) through access and peers through peer culture. Student does not understand how online and offline interactions can impact each other or possess a sophisticated understanding of context. Student makes conscious choices about social media usage and how it fits into life desires, outlook, and goals. Student realizes that one’s online life requires constant renegotiation as one’s goals, needs, contexts, and circumstances change. @paulgordonbrown
