Proposal: Digital Identities

I’m planning a new version of an existing class that will focus on helping students understand and build their own digital identities (while learning about writing, oral presentations, argument, etc.). I have some ideas, but I want MORE. I’d love to talk with anyone teaching freshmen, in particular, but anyone working with undergrads to help them understand the best way to construct their online identity would be great. I’m especially interested in concerns about privacy, professionalism, and ways to talk to students about lifelong interaction with their new constructed digital selves–and, of course, new assignment ideas. See y’all soon!

About Meriah Crawford

I spent 5.5 years at Microsoft doing systems analysis and project management, as well as working for other companies in tech, which gave me a lot of opportunities to understand how important and central tech is to the present and future of life as we know it (barring meteors and zombie apocalypses). I am now teaching research and writing at VCU. I am a published creative writer, a tech geek when time permits, and a private investigator.
