– Start –
This module gave me great insight on how social media can play a big role in our lives. Before this module began, i didn’t have a proper Linkedin account,(more like i didn’t even use it at ALL) i also thought twitter was primarily for tweeting about the little things you do in life and didn’t really see the true power of social media. And.. wordpress? What is that?
In my about page, i mentioned that i consider myself a “cave-man” to social media platforms. Currently, i would say i’m a digital “explorer” and slowly grasping onto the concepts of how today’s digital age works.
The following is a reflection of my self-test
I’m contented with my score as i hit my target of an average 3 points per factor 🙂

– Transformation –
After the module, I began to hone my digital skills and work on my online professional presence. I have taken into account what i learnt in the module to have consistency on my online identities. (For example, profile picture!)
Here’s my Linkedin profile.
As you can see, I still have a long to go in updating my profile and to develop my online professional identity. As a student, since i do not have much working experience, i decided to create a Powtoon video to capture various highlights of my life so as to complement my profile. 🙂
The video has also been “linked” to my Linkedin. From here, i hope to include more information as i move on in life and use this as my online resume.
This module has broaden my views on how i can use twitter to source for information, engage with classmates and reminded me that the world is watching. The use of the twitter # is a powerful tool that can get you noticed from the other side of the world.
P.S. We have no Danny Graham in our class…
This is Danny Graham
Engaging with classmates
I have followed professional twitter accounts like Social Media Today which shares very interesting views on social networking and social media and hope to gain more insights from such professional twitter accounts in future.
Retweeting valuable information to classmates
I also ventured into Pathbrite and created my own portfolio to further improve my online presence as well as my professional identity.
I made my portfolio such that it links to my other accounts and hope to improve on it along the way by including any future digital identities/projects.

– Ending –
I must remember that i leave digital footprints when i go online and be careful of what i post if not i will end up like Justine Sacco.
I have to know that these online profiles represent me. What i do on these profiles need to be ethical. As what i mentioned in topic 4, freedom of speech does not mean i can post anything! As marketers in future, we should consider the kind of message we convey across to consumers.
This module also taught me about having an authentic online identity and i feel that having a fine mixture between my personal and professional identities can help achieve that. Therefore, I invite you to follow me on social media. 🙂
