Over the last couple of weeks my teacher gave us a PLN assignment. For this assignment we had to create a twitter account if we didn't have one. I didn't have one so here is the one I created https://twitter.com/Brown93Elisa . The second thing we had to do for this assignment was find 15 or more educational related people/ organizations to follow. Third, place a link to our twitter page on our wiki. Fourth, monitor our twitter feedback/retweet resources and take a screen shot OF A Twitter chat in which we participated in here's the one I participates in call the kinder chat

 . Last but not least reflect in a blog in which I am doing now. This assignment at first was a little difficult because it took me a long time to get use to how twitter works and I'm honestly still not quite there yet. I also found it very hard to find a live twitter chat until someone on twitter reached out to me and helped me in which I really appreciate . I found Twitter to be very useful. It allowed me to follow educational pages that had very useful resources for teachers.  I was also a very nervous beginner but everything worked out with this chat that I joined here's a closer pic of the question.

Thanks for reading this week blog and see you next week bye!!!

Hello Everyone!                        

Topic: Digital Tattoo
Last week in class we talked about Digital Tattoo . When my teacher first brought up the word digital tattoo I'll be honest I looked it up and this is what I found

How are you defining YOUR digital identity?

Our digital identity, or tattoo, is the permanent collection of data about us that is available online.  Each time we post a picture, a blog, a status or a tweet, we are adding to that digital identity.

As more online applications become part of our daily lives, our digital identities become increasingly more detailed. There are over a billion pieces of content added to Facebook every day! More importantly, there is a generation of young kids, with limited life experience, who are sharing every detail of their lives online at great potential risk.

As my teacher went on discussing what a digital tattoo was I understood it to be apart of a person Identity. I think a digital tattoo basically describes how you're coming across to the world through social networks whether it's Facebook, Twitter, old/recent blogs. If you don't understand what I'm saying or want to learn a little more about digital tattoos here's a prezi presentation my teacher showed us in class to further explain http://prezi.com/4w3i-fffwwix/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share My professor also put me and my peers into groups of 2 to further expand on the topic. She  gave each group a person to look up and had us find as much information on the person as we can. We then had to make a PowerPoint presentation about the person and turn it in.

The group assignment and class allowed me to see the importance of being cautious of what I out on my social media networks because It can possibly help or hurt you in the future.
