Maha Bali
Today we had our fifth online activity, this time with Maha Bali. You can view the event video here:
https://el30.mooc.ca/event/83. We covered a lot of ground in our talk, considering what things compose identity, whether they are internal or external, how our activities and identity relate, and several of Maha's own activities, including Virtually Connecting (see below) and her ongoing course (also see below).

From her blog Reflecting Allowed. " I think over the course of a day and depending where I am and what I’m doing, different dimensions of identity come to the fore or background. And online it is the same. What we choose to show of ourselves online and share openly (or not so openly) makes a difference." See also @Bali_Maha.

Equity Unbound
Maha Bali, Catherine Cronin, Mia Zamora,
2018/11/14
Seven-week MOOC on themes related to identity and digital culture, including this one: "The internet and pervasive use of online information has changed the global learning landscape. The rapid acceleration and adoption of digital content for learning is a pressing catalyst for digital equity.
So what does it mean to be a “good” digital citizen in a globalized context."

Task
Identity
Create an Identity Graph
-
Think of this graph as you defining your identity, not what some advertiser, recruiter or other third party might want you to define.
-
Don't worry about creating the whole identity graph - focusing on a single facet will be sufficient. And don't post anything you're not comfortable with sharing. It doesn't have to be a real identity graph, just an identity graph, however you conceive it.
Optional: consider some of these questions about your identity graph:
-
What is the basis for the links in your graph: are they conceptual, physical, causal, historical, aspirational?
-
Is your graph unique to you? What would make it unique? What would guarantee uniqueness?
-
How (if at all) could your graph be physically instantiated? Is there a way for you to share your graph? To link and/or intermingle your graph with other graphs?
-
What’s the ‘source of truth’ for your graph?
