Elephant in the Room: Your lack of Digital Reputation precedes you.

Elephant in the Room: Your lack of Digital Reputation precedes you. | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

When Brian Solis published his latest post “Hello, It’s nice to meet you … again: your Digital Reputation precedes you” I immediately thought of a recent experience where digital reputations did proceed people, although not in a way which gave me faith in listening to their advice. To me this underlines the very point that Brian is making, and while we know that digital reputation does matter perhaps it's time for us in the industry itself to take it more seriously and to show it a bit more respect. We see advisors with no digital reputation advising executives on their social media presence and strategy. And not only advising executives but being promoted as speakers at social media conferences as experts on social media! It's time to expose the elephant in the room and to take a stand. Otherwise we risk making a mockery of our own expertise and experience.

I predict that, when the discourse about youth & new media is less about fear and control and more about literacy, a learning renaissance will be unleashed.

 

 

We all – young people and everybody who works with them – are learning what that looks like: skilled navigation of a networked world. We’re also working out what the skills are, how to teach them and what kind of environment (home, school and media environment) support that learning.

As a society, we’ve only just begun working the problem. The first 15 or so years of the public discussion about youth Internet safety has been much more about protecting children from new media than about helping them learn to navigate it successfully (including safely).
