Why Your Digital Identity Matters: Education and Engagement via Social Media

Slides from my keynote at the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition (NRCFYESIT) National Conference on Students In Transition.

When students transition, they bring their digital identity with them...and that matters, a lot. Social media have become our primary communication channels for expression and interaction.

Educators need to take a comprehensive, nuanced, and engagement-oriented approach to teaching social media and digital identity to all students.

Keywords: digital identity, digital literacy, grit, engagement, retention, persistence, transition, support, success, academic advising, career services, orientation, first year, transfer programs, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, Yik Yak, and YouTube.
