EDUC 932 Blog Post #3: Digital Footprints - Treading Lightly, or Charging Ahead?

7/6/2016

​If you search for “Matthew Boomhower” on Google you can find me 4th from the top on the second page of results.  The link is to my Twitter profile page.  There, any potential Boomhower-seekers online will find a list of education related tweets I’ve made since deciding a couple of weeks ago to get a head start on our educational technology course and jump into the sea of social media headfirst.

Actually how I look in RL when I write blogs.
​Third from the bottom you can find a link to this very blog, (not very) full of education-related blog posts and a professional-style photo of me wearing a suit.  Classy stuff, that.

I suppose that my online reputation is pretty good.  In fact, my online reputation is about a hundred times better than my real-life reputation!
​
A note to my future PLN:
​“Don’t listen to my RL haters.  They’re just jealous of my fantastic online rep. For realz.”
I like my online reputation.  I feel that it represents the kind of professional I want to be.  As someone who has managed to avoid leaving online footprints for the past 25 years, getting on social media and building a fresh, online persona is a nice way to represent how I’ve been reinvigorating my practice and reigniting my passion for teaching over the past couple of years.
​
Professional-style tweets and blog posts shall continue unabated.
