At the conclusion of this semester, I can say that I have indeed "Learned in a Digital Environment". Throughout the duration of this course, I have been able to grow my digital footprint to become a better digital citizen. The rules that govern the online community are critical to maintaining the integrity of the web so it can be a useful tool for everyone. Exploring different web tools is another great way to build your digital citizenship as it allows you to connect and communicate with fellow digital citizens in a variety of methods that create quality online interactions.
As a digital citizen, I believe that the best way to promote certain behaviours in others is to share your experiences and knowledge so others can gain a better understanding of requirements of being a digital citizen. There are many websites that can give a better understanding of appropriate use of various web tools, but there hasn't been a specific one that has stood out through my studies. Usually the most integral part of learning about digital citizenship was doing a Google search of terms of interest in order to gain a better understanding. This is a great starting point to find websites that can be constantly revisited to provide further insight.
The final activity of this course was to quickly Google our name to see what came up. My results are largely unchanged from the beginning of the course as my Twitter, Facebook and Prezi accounts are among the items that come up first. This is due to the fact that I don't use my full name in many of my online accounts. The one thing that has changed is that I now have a Google+ account that is among the first results, which has allowed me to connect with other digital citizens.
Thank you all for reading and responding to my blog throughout the past few months. I hope you have enjoyed my posts and have investigated some of the tools I have written about yourself. This will be my last blog post for a while, but who knows, I could be back before too long!
