Task 1 - Who Am I Online?
Before we explain anything about digital identity - meet three examples of it already living online. Then decide for yourself: where do you show up most?
🔮 Mystery
🎨 Beauty
✨ Wonder & Curiosity
Step 1 - Read & reflect
Every profile, every page, every post is a choice - a name, a colour, an image, a font.
What does your digital profile actually say about you?
Can the internet be a place where people "survive" by expressing themselves?
Step 2 - Three examples of digital identity
Click through each example - no rush.
Step 3 - Where do you express yourself most online?
Class poll · your teacher can pin your answer

My digital identity shows…
There is no right answer. Only your honest thought matters.
🔒 This entry is private - only you and your teacher can see it. It will be saved to your portfolio with the tag "Phase 1 - Anticipation".
Thank you. Hold onto that thought - now let's learn to read a digital identity the way its creator designed it to be read.
Bridge to Phase 2 - Encounter
"Now that we understand how identity can be communicated through digital elements, we will use ICT tools to design our own Digital Identity Board that expresses who we are without relying on long written text."
What happens in Task 1
A 7-minute Phase 1 - Anticipation activity. Three text blocks are revealed sequentially, followed by three digital-identity examples (a personal website, a social media profile, a digital poster), a single-click poll on where students express themselves most online, and a private journal entry (max 200 chars). The Continue button unlocks only after the journal is submitted.
