WEEK 4 BLOG

October 3, 2021 / / 0 Comments

During week 4, we did a comparisson between personal and a professional digital identity. We also discussed social media privacy, ethic, and data security and performed a personal privacy mapping. We also discussed various contexts of social media use. The mapping includes personal versus institutional continuum on one side and visitor versus resident on the other side. These activities helped me to determine my engagement with the web and technology. In the visitor mode, digital spectrums are used without leaving social traces behind and once the intended task is completed, the tool is discarded. In the resident mode, the goal is to establish social media presence and connect with people, a relationship that leaves many social traces (Regan & Jesse, 2019). Figure 1 is a mapping of my social media engagement.

Another important part is whether social media is used for personal or institutional context. In the personal context, the language and interactions are mainly non-formal (White, 2017). However, formalities are observed in the institutional context. For example, when I use the work email, LinkedIn, and the blackboard, I have to observe all formalities pertaining to that institution. At times, I am a resident as I leave a few social traces behind. I use google, Mi community, and skillshare as a visitor and in personal context. Research sites such as research gate and ibisworld are used in the institutional and visitor context. However, Facebook, wordpress, and youtube are highly interactive and leave many social traces.

The digital identity also matters in any PLN. As part of learning activities, I undertook a privacy quiz that helped me to navigate my behavior on social media that relate to my privacy, security, and ethical code. This will help me to protect my privacy, data, and observe ethics when using social media for interactive learning and other social media use contexts.

Blog Post #2 – What Does My Digital Identity Look Like?

September 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

What is a digital identity?

My digital identity is my social media profile that is based on the things I post, read, comment on, share, and like. It consists of all information about me that is available online and contains unique behavioral patterns and identifiers that can be tied to me.  The data that forms by digital identity can be grouped into either my digital activities or my digital attributes. These two sources of information can be used by companies, organizations, employers, electronic devices, and new friends to identify me.

 How do personal versus professional approaches to digital identity affect social media use?

Digital activities are the behavioral patterns such as purchase history, search queries, forum posts, downloading apps, signed petitions, Geotagging, and other activities such as likes, posts, comments, and shares. Digital attributes consist of things like birth date, bank details, medical histories, login credentials, biometrics, email address, badges & tokens, and government issues identifiers such as driving license and national ID.

What are the risks & rewards of public communications?

The things I like are based on the pages and people I follow, including friend’s posts, local and international news, celebrity posts, comedy, sport, politics, entertainment, gym & fitness, and fashion. The social media platforms that I used frequently include Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. I mostly use Twitter when searching for the latest news about the economy, politics, and trending topics. Whenever I want to interact with friends and view celebrities, entertainment, gym & fitness, and fashion posts, I mostly use Instagram and Facebook. I use LinkedIn to view activities that are related to my career, including the latest jobs, business opportunities, company performance, and career growth.

Anybody looking for my digital identity will find me posting more on Instagram, and Twitter and posting less on LinkedIn and Facebook. Most of my posts on Instagram activities include personal photos, commenting on posts mainly on entertainment, fashion, celebrity, and gym & fitness. On Twitter, I mainly follow renowned politicians, news and media sources, economic news sources, and trending topics. Although I like reading comments, I rarely post my views if I think it will hurt anyone. This is part of my character because my golden rule is to “do what I would like to see others do to me.”

Introduction

May 2, 2020 / / 1 Comment

Hello everyone

My name is Jiaqi Zhang. You can call me Cornelia. This is my first year of university, I plan to graduate from Uvic next year. My major is economic.

I come from China. I have stayed in China and took online classes for one year due to COVID-19. It’s a hard time for everybody. But I really cherish the time that I spend with my family and friends in China.

Personally, I am optimistic and talkative. I spend a lot of with my friends in my spare time. I also like watching some reality shows and listening music especially rap.

I use many social medias in my life. But this is my first time to write my own blog. I’m looking forward to learn more about it. And getting some meaningful thoughts and academic knowledge about social media at the end of the course.

What does it mean to network using social media?

As the development of technology, social media becomes more and more important in our life. Using social media creating network among people helps us   adding new people to gain further knowledge resources for when they are needed, keeping in touch with relevant people and activating connections with select people to allow for new learning,(Nardi, et al., 2000; Nardi, et al., 2002). It’s a way for people to get a continuous stream of knowledge and space to exchange ideas. It helps people get connections between each other.

How are we motivated to participate in networked publics?

The main aim for us to participate in networked publics is getting academic and experienced information, at the same time, connecting with people. So using public network could help you getting latest information and enhance your performance in your fields. If you don’t participate in network in today’s social environment, you would miss a lot of chances to get information and your progress would be slower than others.

What are the risks & rewards of public communications?

When we talking about the risk of public network, personal Information leakage

first come out in our mind. It is true that we can not make sure the safety of internet 100 percent. Also among various information, there are often some false information. Having the ability of judgment is important. The last point is network violence. It gets more and more common nowadays. Some people would make some negative comments on you based on some false information.

I think getting information effectively is the best reward of network. Also connecting with different people is important. We get various ideas and options from each other. Public network broadens our horizons even though you just stay at home. It closes the distance among people and makes our life more diverse.

What is a digital identity?

It means who you are and how you perform on the internet.

How do personal versus professional approaches to digital identity affect social media use?

In my opinion, professional identity have greater impacts than personal. Since professional identity is more professional and convincing. When People have problems, they always take references from professional identities at the first time. So professional identities should be more careful and rigorous about what they post on internet,

How do digital identities converge in networked publics – what are the impacts and/or benefits?

Adding ID helps people get to know each other well. And it brings convenients our life to a large extent. For example,  people can do banking online instead of going to the bank and wait for a long time. It enhance the overall efficiency of public.
