With Samhuinn behind us, life is slowly returning to its regular format ( with a hint of regret). And while more photography and personal posts are in the works, I am woefully behind on the 23 Things blogging – and I’ve genuinely been missing the steady weekly learning, so it’s good to be back on […]

Thing 13: web-based video platforms
I’m exploring the accessibility, licensing, and features of the Vimeo platform. To do that, I looked through several of the videos in my liked and watch later categories. It was fun to re-watch these FemTechNet dialogue videos: I am not sure what type of license this video holds. It doesn’t seem to explicitly state if […]
Thing 14: Audio
I wasn’t looking forward to this Thing because I’m just not really interested in listening to things. I love reading, and would always read a book or newspaper in preference to listening to music or… More
23 Things – Thing 16: OneNote and ClassNotebook
I’ve had a little experience with note taking tools, most notably (sorry!!) EverNote, but like a lot of these tools the fad passed and it fell into disuse. Just as a reminder, and before I tried OneNote, I logged into my EverNote account and messed around to remind myself of what a note taking tool could … Continue reading →
Google Hangouts
I know I am blogging slightly out of order but here is Thing 9… I have not used Google Hangouts before but have used similar programs. As I am an online student if the need arises for a meeting to discuss an assignment or coursework my university uses Adobe Connect. This has similar features to … Continue reading Google Hangouts →
Thing 12 – Open Educatioal Resources
I have been asked to find an open Educational resource and share it on my blog. After having a browse through various open courses I found one in particular which may be of use. The course is an introduction to becoming an open educator and could be useful to incorporate into a module on teaching … Continue reading Thing 12 – Open Educatioal Resources
Thing 13: Video
I’m pleased to say I’m over half-way through the 23 things now and I haven’t given up! (Although I am still running a week behind…) I have chosen to look at Media Hopper for the… More
Diversity
The documentation on diversification of emojis was extremely interesting. Prior to reading (and not having given it much thought) I had considered offering a range of emojis which reflect society to be a positive step – stereotypes abound. However I was struck by the exploration of the use of emojis as identifiers when composing messages. … Continue reading Diversity
The Wikipedia Adventure
I went through the full 1 hour of The Wikipedia Adventure I found it fascinating and learnt a lot. The game is very simple to use and gives you clear instructions on how to contribute to pages and make a difference to the information people search and view. I had always wondered what was involved in … Continue reading The Wikipedia Adventure →
Bonus Thing C
Most of the workbooks on the Digital Skills and Training team’s Documents Catalogue currently have a copyright licence stating: “Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy or redistribute this document whole… More
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
For thing 12 I need to find an OER in my field and share it on my blog. I work in digital skills training, helping staff and students to get the most out of the… More
23 Things: Thing 10 Wikimedia
Still woefully behind…I should be on Thing 18 by now and I’ve only reached Thing 10 :} Never mind though because Thing 10 is a wonderful Thing. Thing 10 is Wikimedia! It’s a bit of an understatement to say that I am a huge fan of all the Wikimedia projects, whether it’s Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, […]
