Oh my! Finally here we are at the end of the 23 Things! I named this blog BlogXperiment because I wanted to try out anything I haven’t had a chance to do so in the past. Turns out not everything in 23 Things I like very much, but at least I tried. Overall, I’d say it’s been…

Thing 22: Fun and Play
Since my phone’s storage reached the limit and I don’t have either Vine, Dubsmash, or Snapchat, I used the feature on Instastory, which is similar to the one on Snapchat, to play around a bit. Ta-da! It was funny to play with but I don’t really see the point of doing so on a daily…
Thing 21: Online Games & Learning
It was fun playing “Design a clinical trial” and “Design a baby” on National Museum of Scotland website. At the same time, playing these little games helped me learn things like “it is impossible to design a baby we desire with specific features” (at least we cannot do it for now), and “what sort of ethical…
Thing 20: Professional Social Networks
I realised that LinkedIn is very popular in Europe, and it becomes more noticed in my home country as well. I have a LinkedIn account but only go check it from time to time, particularly when I need to look for a job again. 😀 It took certain effort to maintain and manage LinkedIn well,…
Thing 19: Altmetrics
Here it is – the Altmetrics of the article I’m interested in. And by clicking on the Altmetric Donut, there are even more interesting results – The demographics show that where are the audience and shares from, and how much people are there. Whereas the “Mentioned By” category at the below, states that how much…
Thing 18: Augmented & Virtual Reality
Went to the AR/VR session by 23Things last year. It was mind-blowingly cool. And I made a small painting for myself via Quiver, as the picture below, also played some InCell games but quit really quickly because I got motion sickness early in the game. Normally I don’t get motion sickness in the real life,…
Thing 17: Geolocation Tools
Can’t live without a geolocation app on my phone these days, to be honest, and Google Maps is one of my best guide buddies. It is super useful for navigating to a new place. Although I don’t like to share my geolocation with apps in general, Google Maps is surprisingly helpful for retracing my steps and labelling…
Thing 16: OneNote & ClassNotebook
I have no idea OneNote is able to do a lot of things – especially the Optical Character Recognition that is super useful – since I am used to Evernote and it offers pretty much the same features as OneNote. Plus there is little need to use external note-taking software or applications for me since…
Thing 15: Tumblr
I used to have Tumblr account where I followed the amazing articles and photos for hobbies – from posters, graphic design, typography, architecture, and interior design. But then after a few years, I decided to delete the account, since I realised that I could not keep up with all the things on those social media, and my…
Thing 14: Audio – Podcasts and SoundCloud
Haven’t been on SoundCloud for long, but I noticed that some of my friends are using it to exploring and expanding their tastes of music created by indie artists (which I think it would be useful for me in this way as well), and that it is an amazing platform nurturing artists without much resources to…
Thing 13: Video – YouTube, Vimeo, and Media Hopper
For me, YouTube is a daily go-to website to check out some things I am interested and keep updated. So naturally YouTube become the first choice to complete Things 13. I haven’t noticed I have quite a few of playlists really, ranging from the hobbies to professional or educational purpose. I tend to bundle videos I…
Bonus Thing C
Have you or would you now consider creating and sharing any of your own materials as OER? The answer is NO. Mainly it’s because I do not consider myself an expert or professional in any way to be able to share any knowledge I have. Educational resources, in my opinion, requires specific and in-depth knowledge towards a…
