I had a play with OneNote and although an interesting program I am not sure what immediate uses I would have for it. It might be helpful if I needed to share information or a document with a group of people but have previously used different sharing programs to the same effect. For example I … Continue reading OneNote and ClassNotebook →

Thing 20: LinkedIn/Academia.com and Research Gate
Amazingly, for a PA, I have an account on all 3 of these platforms. LinkedIn turned out to be a ‘must’ when I was job hunting about 4 years ago. I don’t have a lot to do with it, apart from updating my skills section every now and then, and accepting connection requests from people […]
Thing 19: Altmetrics
I’m a week late with this one. I’ve been busy helping prepare for an office move. I’d never come across altmetrics before and had to look it up. Seeing as this blog is the only ‘publishing’ I do, it’s really not of any use to me. However, having worked with colleagues whose canon of published […]
Thing 6, Accessibility
Wow! Humbled. Reading the stories rammed home the value of taking the time to consider these issues … and that Wave tool is really something! My Gene Jury website did OK but there were problems with missing text alternatives. The ease of checking using Wave is a real find. Thank you 23 things!
Week 10 of 23 Things – Thing 20: Professional Social Networks (LinkedIn/Academia.edu/ResearchGate)
Thing 20 is asking me to look at LinkedIn, Academia.edu and ResearchGate. As an active user of LinkedIn and with accounts of the other two, I’ve already explored this area in great depth. I included these three sites in a Social Media at Work e-Learning package I produced when I worked at Imperial College London. […]
Thing 5, Diversity.
Luckily for me, diversity includes making allowances for all people including those too busy to keep up with the 23 things timetable. Already hopelessly behind, I have been totally snagged on not being able to coax an avatar out of bitmoji and have now given up until I get myself a better phone. To make up… Continue reading Thing 5, Diversity.
Week 10 of 23 Things – Thing 19: Altmetrics
This week we are being asked to look at Altmetrics. I have heard about this in recent weeks, so it was a good exercise to install the app in the browser and test it out. I found an article from Nature: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v482/n7383/full/482027a.html and clicked on the Altmetric it bookmarklet, which resulted in this page: https://www.altmetric.com/details/585373?src=bookmarklet. I like […]
Thing 8 : Facebook

Thing 7 : Twitter
I have been using twitter for quite sometimes. But honestly I am not a regular user. I usually follow some public figures in twitter and…
Thing 7 – Echo chamber
Thing 7 – Twitter For social services, there are obvious benefits to using Twitter. It offers a simple and efficient way to communicate with people who use services, their families and carers, and also the wider public. It’s a good way to let people know about news, vacancies, showcasing work and information on any…
Thing 15 – Tumblr
The site I would like to share is EdTechNews Tumblr, the site has recent articles which discuss latest technology in e-learning. This is the first time I have used Tumblr and can already see the benefits of it. It will help me to consolidate all the information I am reading/collecting whilst learning new skills or reading the … Continue reading Thing 15 – Tumblr
