This blog discusses how the digital world is important to personal branding. According to this blog, personal branding is discovering who you are and sharing it with the world. Personal branding allows each individual to show off their good traits while creating their ideal traits. This blogger discusses, in detail, the four steps to personal branding. The first step is to create a landing page. A landing page is just a page that has basic information about you, similar to a biography. A good site for this is About.me. The second step is to create a blog or portfolio site and share your work with the world. The third step is to create a social media profile. Do not stop at just one, create numerous profiles. This does not mean you have to update or check each profile daily, but it is an excellent way to get your information out there. I also believe this a great way to define yourself and create the ideal you. My comment on this post included my opinion on how helpful social media can be. Social media gives us the courage to post, retweet, or favorite things we might not say in person and it gives us the capability to create an identity we've always wanted. The final step is to pick a name and stick to it. Do not change your name with every profile, pick one that identifies you and keep it.

In this post, the blogger explains what MOOC is; it is a massively open online course. So far three MOOC courses have been developed. One course will help teachers implement technology within their classrooms. Another course will help explain multiplication and division according to the common core. The third course will help with digital learning at the k-12 grade level. This post gave more details about each course and links to obtain more information on MOOC. In my comment, I mentioned the fact that MOOC is a new concept to me and I would like to do more research on it.
