Digital identity

--Originally published at Jorge's awesome blog

Today we had a great talk with Dave Cormier, the guy who invented the word ”MOOC”, which basically stands for Massive Open Online Course. He is an educational activist and a researcher. We talked a little bit about everything but we focused our talk in what a digital identity is.

 

David Cormier told us that everything we post in our social media creates what we call a digital identity, it describe us and tells others what are our beliefs. Sometimes, it can be harmful because we don’t know who is watching or reading our stuff, so, we  need to be very careful about wich information we are about share.

 

Having a digital indentity is an awesome way to share our experiences with other people around the world, it is revolutionary mainly because we weren’t able to do this 20 years ago, now it is a reality and is expanding everyday.
