Hello
Everyone,
We
are now in our last week of ADED 1P32, which means, this will be my final blog
post for the course! In this post, I will talk about my overall learning’s from
the course, and how I will continue to expand my knowledge of the digital
world. More specifically, I will look at what I have learned about building a
positive digital footprint, digital citizenship, and overall appropriateness in
the digital world.
Before
I started this course, my digital footprint was minimal. Even though I have
contributed to many online resources in the past, because my name is so
popular, it was difficult to find actual information on myself, Chris Thompson.
To my surprise, when I now Google my name, information about me is brought up
on the top page! To me personally, I like this new digital footprint as it adds
value to my own personal image. I feel like the experiences I have indulged in
through out this course have left a positive digital footprint for myself, so I
am happy others can now share that experience with me!
Digital
citizenship has been a topic discussed many times throughout this course. If
there is one thing that this course has taught me, it is that digital
citizenship refers to the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior with
regard to technology use. With that being said, digital citizenship and the
resources we looked at regarding this matter, have really taught me how to
appropriately interact with others online.
Most importantly, it has made me conscious of everything I post to the
digital world. No matter what the context, everything you post on the web can
be traced back to you. Therefore, you should always consider yourself, as well
as other online users when interacting on the web.
As
an educated digital citizen, I will continue to promote the positive behaviors
I have learned throughout this course to others. I feel like I have gathered a
deal of knowledge after completing this course, so it will be very easy for me
to pass that along to others. Additionally, I will promote this course to my
friends and students at University, as I feel it is important for everyone to
understand what it means to be a digital citizen.
As
stated above, through promoting this course, ADED 1P32, as well as passing my
knowledge of digital citizenship along to others, I feel like I will be helping
people develop the knowledge needed to work and live in our digital
society. With the way our world is
changing, becoming more and more digitized, now is as good of a time as ever to
become educated on this subject!

Lastly,
I would like to say that I have really enjoyed my time here in the ADED 1P32
blog atmosphere. I hope those of you who have had a chance to read through a
few of my blog postings think the same way. I look forward to continuing my
learning journey!
I
hope you enjoyed this week’s final post!
Take
care,
