Session Description
Educators are invaluable assets to institutions of higher learning. They play an important role in educating students that enroll in degree granting and certification programs. However, limiting the reach of such knowledge, wisdom, and talent to institutions of higher learning can be perceived as a social travesty. Educators have a grand opportunity to go beyond the walls (firewalls) of higher learning to build and establish a digital footprint as a respected thought leader entrepreneur. As an entrepreneurial vlogger, educators have an opportunity to realize and hone their professional brand by contributing valuable and unique content in their areas of expertise. Novice practitioners have dominated the vlogosphere, becoming highly successful by building Youtube channels, Patreon membership communities, Udemy classes, and much more. This presentation will provide an overview that encourages educators to build a thought leader brand with the possibility of becoming the world’s next Youtube sensation. It’s time for educators to break down the walls of higher education and contribute more respectable content to the vlogosphere aimed at shaping society and nurturing inquisitive minds in 2019. When educators build their digital footprint, all content can easily be shared with students in the online classroom to add value and inspire deeper learning. Once an educator’s thought leadership brand is shared with online learners, the educator becomes part of the students lifelong personal learning network.
