REFLECTION FINAL DRAFT PART B

THOMAS DEVEREUX

Each and every week throughout this semester, I have been lucky enough to listen to some excellent tips and introduced to excellent tools to help me create a personal digital strategy. My online presence is something that I have never thought about before and since doing this module, I now understand how important it is to have good control over it.

To begin, LinkedIn is a social media page that I have previously never paid much attention to. The reason for this was because I assumed it was for people working or looking for corporate jobs however pleasantly to my surprise it was not. Setting up my LinkedIn was a very easy process and populating it with achievements and what I am doing in college was actually quite a fun process. One week that really helped me with this task was Week 9 which was centred around misinformation. This really helped me gauge how harmful misinformation is and would provide great stepping stones for me regarding my digital presence which was to be upfront and truthful about the information I was divulging online. We were introduced to Dr. Bhakti Gala who produced a health informatics Youtube channel to help combat misinformation in South-East Asia. This project's objective was to identify and share accurate and reliable information from authoritative information (Gala et al., 2021). This project helped me to understand how important it is to identify misinformation on social media platforms that I use such as Instagram and given that the prevalence of health misinformation was highest on Twitter (Lledo et al., 2021), I will be sure to reliably identify factual information to better control my digital presence

Yet again similar to creating a LinkedIn profile, I have also never made an infographic. Given the unique nature of one’s digital presence, I initially struggled to find a template that would best suit the information that I was trying to convey. Luckily, Piktochart offers an unfathomable amount of templates to choose from so I eventually found the right one. Presenting my personal digital strategy in a concise manner was the next task and I found a lot of helpful information to help me with this from an article presented to me in Week 8. It talked of how universities are taking advantage of how many social media platforms their students are using and utilising these platforms to attract students and improve the universities presence within our lives (Ridley, 2022). This gave me a great idea of how I would present myself on a single infographic, by explaining what I want for my digital presence in a way that is both attention grabbing and concise enough for even the busiest college student to read. It was found that students use social media as a virtual community and as a way of developing social networks (Hussain, 2012) which gave me excellent insight into how my personal digital strategy will be developed.

Finally, the task of re-writing a privacy policy to be catered toward a younger audience. This task proved to be very eye-opening for me as I realised how little attention I paid to what agreements I was making when I was younger due to the vast amount of information these policies normally contained. This gave me excellent insight into how I should present myself digitally. I believe that the nature of the Discord privacy policy that I rewrote perfectly encapsulates how I want to present myself online, clear and concise. I also wish to present myself as someone who is ethically good in nature and it was explained to me that engaging people in the right manner is very important on social media as well (Cohn, 2011). This is very important for my personal digital strategy and similarly, I will be cautious of following or re-posting exploitative pages and people especially with who can view my pages.

Overall, I believe this module has helped immensely in how I present myself online and going into the future I believe that i will further develop my personal digital strategy so that I will remain in complete control of my digital presence

I decided that I would use Piktochart to create my infographic regarding my strategy for my digital presence. It was tough to find the right template for the information that I wanted to divulge however I believe the chosen template was perfect for what information I was trying to tell. The manner in which all my information was told is hopefully like a story setting out initially what social media I use, my goals, how I use social media to achieve these goals and how I want to be perceived online. https://create.piktochart.com/output/0413b8b3a401-my-digital-presence

I looked at Discord's privacy policy and I thought that the abundance of information they disclose underneath the title of 'Information We Collect', was quite hard to comprehend given the amount of information there was. There were very few highlighted sentences that actually displayed what information they were collecting and so I decided to shorten and properly highlight all the information that they were collecting so even their youngest user can understand what they are giving up by agreeing to their privacy policy. The 5Rights website helped me to understand how vulnerable young users on Discord can be and so I thought it was best for them to understand what information they were giving up so they are not exploited without their knowing.

This article made a very poignant point about the potentially exploitative nature of a social medias privacy policy. Even as a kid, I rarely actually looked properly at what I was agreeing to when creating an account for these apps and the rewriting of privacy policies for children makes an unbelievable amount of logical sense to ensure they understand what they are agreeing to

Since I have very few if not zero chances to actually visualise data from a source, this tutorial was a very helpful guide on the importances of doing so and what to do and what not to do

# data[].attributes.body
Very interesting tutorial that taught me about social data which is something that I have never come across before. I now recognise it's importance especially in regards to developing existing social media products and also, seeing how we interact with one another affects many decisions in this design process

Publishing my map was the final step in creating my map mashup to which I then received an email with my map

# data[].attributes.body
Datawarpper gave me the option of choosing a colour palette for my map and also the option to edit the title of my map

# data[].attributes.body
I downloaded data from Eurostat and uploaded it into Datawrapper

# data[].attributes.body
I selected Europe as my layout for this map mashup and the data I chose regarded the percentage of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion across Europe

# data[].attributes.body
Just at the top of the Datawrapper website they give you the option to create a map

# data[].attributes.body
I created a free Datawrapper account and with this I am able to create many maps with data of my choosing

Whilst I am yet to inspire I do plan on making great use of Pinterest for photos and wallpapers of my favourite things and interests

# data[].attributes.body
First thing I did after discovering my home feed, was to go to Pinterest's search engine to follow my favourite football club, Manchester United. I did this because as I use Pinterest, it will begin to recognise my interests and preferences to help further make my experience on this application more personal.

# data[].attributes.body
After signing up, I was met with this page as seen above and was asked to pick at least 5 of there many options to customise my home feed

Finding and Listening to Articles on Pocket

# data[].attributes.body
When I first entered Pocket, I immediately went to their 'Discover' page to find an article that I was interested in which I was happily surprised to see that there was. It was a Rolling Stones article about the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and I gave it a listen using Pockets Audio function which I have to say took a bit of time to get used but was ultimately very unique. I also then went online and found another article I had an interest in by vibe.com I simply copied the URL and pasted it into Pocket and it is now downloaded and available to me at my discretion which is a fantastic feature.

# data[].attributes.body
When immediately opening the app for the first time, I was brought to this page where I clicked "Sign Up" and entered all my relevant details to create an account

# data[].attributes.body
By just looking up "pocket" in the App Stores search bar, Pocket was the very first thing that pops up to which I then downloaded it for free
