Dave White has a video positing that whether you leave a trace out on the internet labels you as a visitor or resident, and is a useful grouping of internet users. I agree, and think the idea does have some merit related to sorting people on the internet. I know that my own personal journey on the internet has been one where I have slowly been moving from visitor to resident. Early on, I was concerned about identity theft and the ability for people to track back and collect what I have done. Did I really want to create permanent traces of my early experimentation? Would tech-enabled, troll-stalkers steal my identity and harass me? I wasn't sure. As this type activity (publishing, comments, etc.) exploded and I became more comfortable with the idea of publishing, I have become more interested and willing to connect what I do and say on the internet to my "real life" identity. An example of early leavings that did not tie to Keith Beals include my CAPS blog, which I posted to back in 2007. Since starting Twitter, my SH2F088 handle has been connected to my name. Since my Teacher training began I have started experimenting with Blogs (see my EDU422 blog) and find that I am gradually starting to appreciate the art of blogging. But sometimes you don't control whether what you create goes on the internet. My senior project from the Naval Academy is a good example, it has its own Wikipedia page!
