She played computer games, learned to type from an educational software program, and experimented with blogs and fan fiction. In middle school, she tinkered with HTML coding and creating a website.<\/p>\n<p>As moms and dads do, Campbell\u2019s parents urged her to be safe on the Web. But they didn\u2019t discourage her interest, even if they didn\u2019t see the attraction.<\/p>\n<p>As Campbell puts it, \u201cEvery generation comes up with something that the previous generation shakes their head and says, \u2018Really guys?

The program, offered in collaboration with the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies (DTLT) and the office of Information Technology Services, provides domains and Web hosting for students and faculty.<\/p>\n<p>While Domain of One\u2019s Own is intentionally unstructured \u2013 the idea is for users to define for themselves what they will present on the Web \u2013 it encourages students to own and control their online presence. Some may use their domains strictly as e-portfolios. Others, including Campbell, take a broader approach.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/aetherbunny.com\/\">aetherbunny.com<\/a> domain is constantly evolving. She\u2019s used it for her digital storytelling projects; as an academic blog; as a creative outlet for short stories and poetry; and as a forum for experimenting with online editing tools.<\/p>\n<p>Exploring the possibilities of the Web just makes sense to Campbell. \u201cA lot of people take the Internet for granted. They know they have to use it, but they don\u2019t necessarily think about how they\u2019re using it,\u201d she said. Domain of One\u2019s Own, a nod to Virginia Woolf\u2019s <em>A Room of One\u2019s Own<\/em>, encourages \u201ccritical thinking about those tools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Web can be used badly, of course, in prefab, uninspired ways. But it also can be, she said, \u201ca brilliant, beautiful smorgasbord of creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s important not to think of the Internet as a monolithic entity, she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a massive collection of networked tools we can use and take control of if we\u2019re willing to put in the time and energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One example of that is what Campbell calls curating, the constant re-evaluating and editing of one\u2019s online presence. That can involve removing content, but it may more effectively entail updating existing content. For example, a college senior entering the professional world might use her personal domain to acknowledge an essay she posted as a teenager, but add a note reflecting how her views have changed.<\/p>\n<p>Taking that thoughtful approach through the college years can reduce seniors\u2019 anxiety that graduate schools or potential employers will turn up embarrassing teenage blogs, photos, or tweets. \u201cThe more aggressively you prune and update your personal Web presence,\u201d she said, \u201cthe more recent stuff people will find.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim Owens, instruction technology specialist and co-creator of Domain of One\u2019s Own, applauds Campbell\u2019s resourcefulness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaley\u2019s experience of exploring and controlling her digital identity is what we want for all students at Mary Washington,\u201d Owens said. \u201cSome students may choose to continue using spaces like Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter, but the important part is that we are handing control of those choices to the students and providing them the opportunity to explore what&#8217;s out there and how they can define themselves online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell gets why participating in Domain of One\u2019s Own is not required of students, and she respects that some people just aren\u2019t all that interested in crafting an online presence. But she leapt on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like being handed this massive box of toys and being told you can play with it if you want to, but you don\u2019t have to,\u201d she said with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>An English major with a concentration in creative writing, Campbell sees her UMW classes and Domain of One\u2019s Own opening professional opportunities. She\u2019s exploring educational technology and methods of open education such as massive open online courses, or MOOCs. She\u2019s learning \u201cthe pedagogical aspects of it \u2013 how teachers are teaching, and what they\u2019re teaching about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And as an accomplished poet \u2013 and 2013 winner of the UMW Barbara Thomas Phillips Creative Writing Scholarship \u2013 she\u2019s evaluating the many tools writers use to find readership beyond traditional publications.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also finding creative inspiration online, exploring new ways to use words, art, music, and online immediacy to shape narratives. But while she\u2019s part of the generation that will expand what\u2019s possible online, she hasn\u2019t lost sight of what drew her to the Web in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally,\u201d Campbell said, \u201cI\u2019ve been telling stories on the Internet for most of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<em>Story by Laura Moyer<br \/>\n&#8211;Photo by Kimmie Barkley &#8217;14<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haley Campbell &#8217;13 was among the first 400 students to pilot UMW&#8217;s Domain of One\u2019s Own initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":5401,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5381","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-show","8":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
