Whilst I’ve already posted for Thing 13, on YouTube, I spent some time reflecting on several differences in Vimeo as compared to YouTube that I thought were worth another post. A sample Vimeo video is above, this time on a work related topic – who knew that such things were available!! Vimeo appears equally easy to use as … Continue reading →

23 Things: Thing 9 Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra
I am woefully behind with 23 Things owing to work and annual leave so I’m going to try and catch up with a few quick and dirty posts. Thing 9 is Google Hangouts and Collaborate Ultra and I did actually manage to dial into the live sessions Charlie ran a couple of weeks ago which were a […]
Thing 11: Copyright
Here are my two images with Creative Commons licences that I found using http://search.creativecommons.org/. Chocolate isn’t exactly my field of work(!), but I often look for fun pictures to brighten up presentations, so they’re the… More
Collaborate Ultra
Unfortunately I was unable to join the live sessions a few weeks ago but have been able to explore Collaborate ultra through using it at work. I have been in the position of configuring sessions as well as being a student participating on a session. Overall the system seems fairly intuitive and easy to use. … Continue reading Collaborate Ultra

Creating knowledge with Thing 10: Wikipedia explorations
After a week-long break from the 23 Things course, I’m picking back up with Thing 10. Prior to heading to the AECT convention, I went through the Wikipedia Adventure and learned the basics of editing articles. It was quite fun to play and broke down the steps into smaller pieces. Participating in Wikipedia Edit-a-thons seems […]
Thing 13: Video
YouTube has been around for so long now that life wouldn’t be the same without it. I have used it extensively to search for videos of my favourite musicians. Playlists can be really useful in bringing together a whole set of videos. I do wonder about the copyright issues involved with such videos, though, especially […]
Thing 9: Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra

Thing 6: Accessibility
Activity: write a short blog post about your findings (in relation to accessibility), either with the website or your device I can’t say I was surprised by anything that I found, as I read through the material for this lesson, but the thought that did occur to me was how comprehensive the planning and structure… Continue reading Thing 6: Accessibility
23 Things – Thing 13: Video – YouTube, Vimeo and Media Hopper
YouTube is the elephant in the room when it comes to video hosting sites on the internet – it’s the one everybody has heard of. I’ve used YouTube for a while though just as a viewer, not as a content creator. I’ve also heard of Vimeo and again been a user but Media Hopper is … Continue reading →
I have had a Facebook account for many many years and enjoy using it on a daily basis-mainly to keep in contact with family and friends as I have moved around the country over the years. Security settings on my Facebook profile is something I like to keep on track of and have a few … Continue reading Facebook
