Your Digital Profile

[GraphDesProject]

Jim, I think this is a really good activity and like some of the others I intend to steal it! One of my jobs is to help learners set up blogs for both learning and professional practice (ie digital portfolios) and the new learner’s urge to call themselves and their blog Goth Girl,  Pink Fluffy Bunny and Super Stud etc etc is almost overwhelming! So the pretext for this activity, I feel, is very sound.

Jim – I like the concept and the approach.  A good curtain-raiser on digital profiles.

Sancha –  feel free to steal! I chose something about digital profiles as it worries me how little some students seem to think about how they (re)present themselves online. … in some institutions they don’t seem to get much help with it either.

Elizabeth – thanks for your comment. I was interested in your use of Google Forms for the activity – it never would have occurred to me to use it in that way but I like the idea and intend to try it myself.

I was telling my sons about this and I feel that tasks like yours ought to be started in school. My younger is 11 and he comments on You Tube accounts and I’m always worreid that he’ll end up saying somnething that he has no clue about and it’ll come back to bite him when he’s job hunting.

A project I worked on with a small group once involved very short video tutorials on different aspects of our university’s learning management system.  One of the videos we produced was how to set up and change profile information.  At first, others did not see the value in this, but later realized that many students were not even aware they had a profile they could change.

Jim – I am glad that it has demonstrated another way that Google Forms can be used.
