After this kind of learning, I feel I will keep going to maintain a low profile on the internet because internet makes it possible for someone to attack me easily and of course I do not want to experience it, but on the other hand, if I want to seek employment, it is absolutely crucial for me to keep a high and positive profile so how to balance both of them is a priority. I'm still trying to find a way to figure it out.
it's like open a new door for me. I mean I got an idea of so many useful and handy and creative applications which are both suit in academic life and social life. That's really matter. I'm still on my way to figure out which suits me best.

I do not think I will have my little plan to work on my digital identity because it will cost me lots of strengths and waste lots of time, however, in other way, do I have a choice because if I do not use my social platforms smartly to present myself to my potential boss, I am more likely to fail to find a job. So I am really frustrating about it, and I really need a time to think about it thoroughly.

Many of you will regularly use social media to keep up with what your friends are doing and write/post pictures of what you have been up to.

Social networking sites include Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

It can be fun to use social media for a variety of purposes but social media use should be treated with caution.

People have ended up losing their jobs as a result of what they have posted on social media due to negative comments about their job for example.

Online Presence
A popular social media website employers search is Linkedin.

Linkedin enables people to share a 'professional profile' online of their career history.

By using Linkedin, you can tell future employers any work experience you have had, where you work, what role you are looking for and most importantly, your main achievements.

In comparison to a Facebook account, Linkedin can make your digital footprint professional as employers will see that while you have a personal life, you are also a suitable candidate.
Linkedin
Although you may not think it, potential employers may be looking at your social media accounts right now.

According to statistics provided by CareerBuilder, 48% of the employers surveyed looked at prospective employees social media accounts.

Improve your digital identity
Here are some top tips:

Do not post negative comments about your job on social networking sites - if your employer doesn't see, someone else could tell them.

Make sure you have good privacy settings so that not everyone can see what you post. That way you can share what you like with your friends without the worry of a future employer looking.

Don't accept people that you don't know - they could report you for a comment you write about your employer on social media if you have listed where you work.
Consequently, it is now increasingly important to ensure that your social networking page portrays a positive image to not deter future employers from hiring you.

The Digital Experience
It has showed me how dependent I really am on the digital world without me knowing it. Before I came to university, technology just consisted on the social and entertainment aspect, however, as time passes I quickly realise what an incredible and useful tool I have. Everything involves it, from my school using SPSS, ImageJ and ArcGIS to my own personal use for time management or to search for academic articles or books in the internet.

I have profoundly enjoyed this experience as it has given me a short but effective insight into a world that I was unsure about.

I did not take into account the importance of my digital presence before the Digital Voyager therefore I decided to delete some pictures and some comments which might seem offensive. I am upset about this since it means that I cannot express myself online, my freedom is restricted. This, in my opinion, shouldn't be the case. Just because I have different views and opinions than an employer doesn't mean I shouldn't express them because of a job. I do agree though with the ability of employers to use the pictures to give them a sense of general knowledge on how the employee might be. However, depending on how you approach this method, it still seems very unreliable.

I also learned how to use different apps and software such as RefME, Onedrive, Metronome app, AdBlock, Creative Commons, reminders (Iphone), Wordle, Prezi, eStream, Wunderlist, Sticky Notes (Mac)...
These are all invaluable tools that will help me on my university life and hopefully, in the future, I will come across many others.

My Learning
My Digital Life
How Digital Is My Life?
I use many different digital apps, tools and software in my everyday life.

My course does not require any special digital software, however, digital technology is nevertheless essential to my studies and my life at university.

Examples include:
Google, Google Books and Google Scholar
Facebook and Facebook Messenger
Outlook and UEA RSS calendar feed on phone
Microsoft Word
CiteThemRight
JStor
Credo Reference
OED
Literature Online
This course has shown me the importance of my digital footprint and online identity and taught me ways to control this to appeal to potential employers.

I have also explored my own digital life, including the ways in which I use modern technology every day and how this intersects with my academic studies at university.
My Digital Future
At some point in the future I would like to create a LinkedIn account in order to connect with potential employers.

The opportunity to compare mock LinkedIn profiles on this course has shown me how important it is to have a clear and professional profile.

Therefore, in any professional profiles I create later on, I will make sure that I use the same name, profile picture and information - to maintain a consistent and clear professional online identity.
I have high privacy settings on my Facebook profile and cannot find myself when searching my name in DuckDuckGo and Google.
I have set my Facebook up so that I have an opportunity to look through photos I have been tagged in before they appear on my Timeline - which helps me manage my online identity.
Before posting I always ask myself whether I would be happy to see my post in 10 years time and whether I would let my grandmother see the post too.
My Digital Identity
This course has made me more aware of the importance and potential consequences of my digital footprint and online identity.

It has highlighted the importance of privacy settings on social media, as employers have admitted to checking the profiles of job candidates.

I also now understand that it is important to balance your authentic online identity with one which is appealing to employers.

My Use Of The Digital
I find it easier to take notes on plain pen and paper in seminars and lectures and type them up in Word later on.

I also prefer making to-do lists without the aid of technology.
