  55. DigitalIdentity/ Reputation vs Digitized Development What We Produce vs What We Are What Other People See vs How We See Ourselves Can Be Taught Through Rules vs Must Be Learned Dynamically A By-Product Of Development vs The Developmental Process Itself
  56. Digital Identities Digitized DevelopmentOne’s level of sophistication in navigating digitized development impacts how one chooses to present one’s digital identities and how one understands these digital identities in relation to their sense of self. One’s digital identities and the exploration of and action through these identities influences one’s level of sophistication in navigating digitized development (and potentially how one conceptualizes one’s selfhood as digitized). Digital identities are the different representations and personas students take on through different social media platforms and in presentation to different audiences. Digitized development is what occurs when developmental processes, behaviors, and life experiences play out differently as a result of the influence of social and digital technology, their affordances, and the virtual spaces these technologies create.

  57. MarciaBaxterMagolda’s TheoryofSelf-Authorship
  58. Student explores and experiments openly with social media. This is strongly influenced by authorities (parents/guardians) through access and peers through peer culture. Student does not understand how online and offline interactions can impact each other or possess a sophisticated understanding of context. Student makes conscious choices about social media usage and how it fits into life desires, outlook, and goals. Student realizes that one’s online life requires constant renegotiation as one’s goals, needs, contexts, and circumstances change. @paulgordonbrown

  91. Use of Technology Heavy UsersLight Users Digitized Development High Level SophisticationLow Level Sophistication Digitized Selfhood mulitplistic/relativistic/relationalsingular/unitary Heavy technology usage is necessary but not sufficient for digitized development to emerge. One could be a heavy user of technology and yet not use it in a way that leads towards greater digitization of development. Similar to physical world development, individuals reach towards higher level sophistication in navigating digitized development over time. Digitized selfhood is the extent to which one views digital/virtual spaces as an integral part of one’s being and therefore constructs concepts of self that are more multiplistic, relativistic, and relational as opposed to singular and unitary. Technology Usage, Digitized Development, and Digitized Selfhood ? ?? Digitized selfhood was hypothesized, but only weakly found in this study. Digitized development is what occurs when developmental processes, behaviors, and life experiences play out differently as a result of the influence of social and digital technology, their affordances, and the virtual spaces these technologies create.
