Thinking about storytelling in the context of being temporary versus permanent is interesting. Digital stories are temporary and can vanish after a given amount of time. Paper stories, unless they are physically destroyed, are permanent. This is not to say that one kind of story or story telling is more important than another, but to say that each type has something unique to offer.

I completely agree that everyone has a digital personality. I also think that everyone's digital personality is dynamic, in that it is always changing due to influences in our daily lives that provide us with new perspectives.

Thinking about stories through the context of their temporary versus permanent nature is interesting. Paper copies, unless physically destroyed, are permanent, but digital stories and information eventually vanish. However, I would argue that this does not mean one is more important than the other.

As a whole, this tip is a true perspective changer. I took a class in which each assignment was 'graded' not on completion, but effort and creative process. The pressure associated with assignments is instantly relieved, leaving the opportunity for originality and extraordinary ideas to emerge.

This portion of the article particularly grabbed my attention because I am a firm believer that those who try to find themselves are, in all reality, losing themselves in the same instant.

This is a really interesting prompt. I think it makes us question how much of our story is being left out because of how many of us decide to take selfies.

I can imagine that teachers and professors feel this way with traditional grading styles. I can recall assignments in which I was required to review and grade other student's work. It's hard to truly define every detail of work in a number scheme without getting lost in the shuffle.

This reminds me of Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World.

For lack of better words, this is creepy. Not only does Google retain this information, but we allow them to because the products we buy work more efficiently this way.

I can see the use of this definition in many aspects of my life. Something is only innovative if it can be trendy enough to market.

This also teaches students how to responsibly maintain a professional and scholarly online identity.

This statement is astonishingly true. Often students feel that the work they have completed is not their own because teachers and administrators maintain possession throughout early education.
