We debriefed the first two phases of the project. Tomorrow students who are finished the planning and retrieving phases of the inquiry project will begin their processing phase. This is where the interesting work begins. Students have been shown several resources to explore on digital identity and how to manage it. Students will also gather information about their own digital identities. It will range from little or not digital presence to significant digital presence. They will consider the how the digital identity they have will impact them as they continue to grow and evolve in our society.
