TheoryofSelf-Authorship

10. Student explores and experiments
openly with social media. This is
strongly influenced by authorities
(parents/guardians) through access
and peers through peer culture.
Student does not understand how
online and offline interactions can
impact each other or possess a
sophisticated understanding of
context.
Student makes conscious choices about
social media usage and how it fits into life
desires, outlook, and goals.
Student realizes that one’s online life
requires constant renegotiation as one’s
goals, needs, contexts, and
circumstances change.
