We’re Going To Explore Two Topics Today
Digital Identity
or Reputation
Digitized
Development
@paulgordonbrown
Digital Identity
@paulgordonbrown
Or more accurately, digital identities,
are the personas, data, and actions
we take online as well as the
reputation of those identities and
how they are viewed by others.

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
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.
