Here is represented my DI. In the beginning, it was a little bit difficult to understand the goal of this exercise. In the end, after figuring it out, I understood that is a handy tool in order to organize your digital activity to achieve your professional goal.
Digital Identity is our online identity and has everything that we do online. It becomes essential for us to represent ourselves better than in the past. I have been using Facebook for the last 10 years and I have posted something that I do not dare to put now. A few years back I never used to think about the effect that these posts can have. But as now, I have the knowledge, I am going to represent myself in a better way so that it can also help in my professional life and growth. I have made some goals and activities that I will do which I have added to my DIP.
Hello! Here you can check my academic and professional digital identity plan. I aim to maintain as much privacy as I can only sharing to all the public my professional outcomes.
In my PLE you will find informations about my collaborators, the channels of sharing and communication, my value proposition, the content I want to share, my target audience, key ressources and activities, my objectives in short and long term and the cost it will generate.
It is important to know what data we share on the web since these become our digital identity. It is important to know how, where, who and what to share, to meet our professional objectives and maintain control of this information.
My academic and professional digital identity plan has content on circular economy, architecture, engineering, and construction materials. I have devided the objectives, the value proposition, and the key activities in two aspects, professional and personal. In which I identify what I want to show, how and what I contribute. I have associated the key resources and costs according to the key activities that I need to develop for my academic and professional digital identity
Finally, I have established who my collaborators can be, to whom I want to show or who may be interested in my digital identity and how I can do it.
in this post I’ll show you the initial version of my Digital Identity Plan and the improvements I made on that.
While doing the draft of my DIP, I had the wrong understanding of the objetive of the work. At first, I though I was supposed to explain my strategy to manage, control and modify my digital identity.
After comparing with the works of my classmates and receiving feedbacks from the teachers, I realized that the goal is to show how I want to present myself to the others in the digital word, and establish how I want other people to see me.
My improved Digital Identity Plan is composed by the following parts:
• Collaborators: group of people I interact with in my professional life
• Key activities: list of actions required to mark my digital identity
• Key resources: key tools, platforms and people which help me accomplish my key activities
• Values proposition: my main characteristics and strenghts that distinguish me from the others
• Costs: needed to accomplish my key activities
• Objectives: my future career goals, which motivate me on working on my digital identity
• Target groups: people or group of people I present my digital identity to
• Channels: platforms or social medias on which my identity appears
Creating my DIP was for me the most important aspect during this course. Not only I have been planning to do so since some time now, but also now more importantly than ever before applying for a PhD position I would like to have a full image of my existing digital identity and transform it into the one that I believe is presentable online. This exercise (although it scared me at first), made me step by step do a research about my digital footprint and finally, after 23 years of my life, made me realize how CRUCIAL it is to have as much ‘privacy’ on the internet as you can. Despite the fact that this task was meant specifically for academic and professional purposes, it has also helped me to develop on a personal level.
A big thanks to all my current fellow students for creating such a positive and supporting learning environment and the best of luck to all future MUEC students,
Nowadays, a digital identity influences our personal and professional lives. This is why having a DI plan is very important. Right now, my goal is to get an internship, so all of my inputs revolve around that idea. I need to plan ahead about the content and steps I’m going to take in the channels I chose to reach my goal.
The use of canvas can be very enlightening to draw an appropriate plan for many things, but I didn’t know it would help me so much with regard to my digital identity.
This tool helped me reflect on my current digital identity and define my goals around this theme. For my particular case, I want to be perceived as a changemaker by the industry – someone that will nourish the energy transition and foster green technologies and a circular economy.
LinkedIn is a powerful social network to develop this plan, but will also bring challenges as I have a varied public among my connections. I will have to carefully tailor my posts, fact-check information, and keep a diligent pace to engage my diverse audience and convey my messages. To do so, time will be my most valuable resource to be invested.
A summary of my DIP is shown below. Wish me luck in this new journey!
