Last week was Dyslexia Awareness Week. In the main I think awareness weeks are a good idea, especially now we have social media as anyone can pitch in with comments, ideas, stories and have a voice. I really didn’t know … Continue reading →

A day of first.

Thing 6 : Accessibility
I am half-colorblind, but I don’t really know what color that I am having trouble with.
23 Things – Thing 2
To begin I would like to introduce myself; I am an Assistant Librarian in Norwich working within the Higher Education sector and specialise in my degree subject, art. I have recently been acting up to cover the Head of Services which was a baptism of fire and now things have calmed down and I don’t […]
Thing 14 -Podcasts
Podcasts are not really something which I use very often – if at all. Many years ago with my first ipod I downloaded many podcasts to listen to-mainly for entertainment and the odd occasional learning resource but it was something which I quickly lost interest in. However I have decided to explore Itunes podcasts again. … Continue reading Thing 14 -Podcasts
Thing 13 – Video

Recently I have started using the playlist feature – mainly because my media library is becoming very disorganised and taking a while to find the correct videos.

Video & Audio
Only three weeks to catch up on, and looking at where we are it’s strange to think that we’re more than halfway through! Thing 13: Video I chose to explore youtube, since it’s the one platform I personally use already to follow a few channels, but I have never really spent time exploring its features […]
23 Things – Thing 17 GeoLocation tools
Thing 17 required us to explore geolocation tools. From a work point of view such tools are unnecessary as I have no need to locate anything anywhere. However, as this work week has been particularly stressful, I decided to combine a lunch hour away from my desk with an exploration of Geocaching in the locality … Continue reading →
