  1. Identity, Belonging and TECHNOLOGY

  2. WHO AM I?

  3. PIECE 1: Writing FOLIO • Constructing identities • Can you make up your own identity? Why would you construct one? What effect would that have? • Representing the self • How do you express your identity? Who do you think you are? What do other people say? What is your identity? Who really knows who you are?

  4. “Who am I? is an especially critical question for adolescents. As we search for answers we begin to define ourselves.

  5. How is our identity formed? • To what extent are we defined by our talents and interests? by our membership in a particular ethnic group? by our social and economic class? by our religion? by the nation in which we live? • How do we label ourselves and how are we labeled by others? • How are our identities influenced by how we think others see us? • How do our identities inform our values, ideas, and actions?

  6. In what ways might we assume different identities in different contexts? • How do we manage multiple identities?

  7. The creation of identity is influenced by the social context in which youths live, for example, for many adolescents currently living in first and second world countries the technology they use is considered just as important as what they wear in communicating an identity (Aakhus and Katz, 2002, p.xx).

Social networking sites are fertile ground for cyber-thieves seeking personal information • Tony Barrell was overseas earlier this year, a message sent to his Facebook friends told a sorry tale. • "I'm stranded in London because i got robbed at a park in Kentish town, it was a brutal experience, all cash i had on me were stolen and my credit card was collected too now i'm left with no money here. I need help out of here."I have been reaching out to friends for help, i need some money so i can get a flight ticket back home so please can you loan me some money till i get back home? i will pay you back as soon as i'm home. Please"
