Having had a twitter account for a few years now-I’m not exactly a new user, however it’s not something I have used very often. Looking back at tweets I have sent the content is very mixed and spaced out-sometimes by years! This has prompted me to create a new Twitter account for professional use. After … Continue reading Twitter

Googling yourself
I’m fifth on the list, which is not too bad. The first 4 posts on google are all about a Kate Carter, Lifestyle editor of theguardian.com, so that will take some beating.The posts are mainly about running, which is a long way from architecture, …
Social Media
The guidelines for staff are a good start point for recognising the impact social media can have, both positive and potentially negative. As a social media sceptic it has taken me some time to be willing to engage in an activity I perceive as sometimes trivial. I was surprised that guidelines written in 2011 are […]
23Things
I’m on catch up. Four weeks have elapsed, and I am only embarking on the UoE 23Things journey. This is my first post which is intended to bring this blog back to life.It had a short existence a few years ago. The plan is to capture some of the interesting things that are emerging for […]
Week Two of 23 Things
Today I completed Thing 3 and Thing 4, about the Digital Footprint one makes and Digital Security. Thing 3 – Digital Footprint After reading about e-Professionalism, I am thinking very hard (even as I type right now) about how I present myself online. I found Googling myself particularly surprising. There are other Donna’s that are psychologists and … Continue reading Week Two of 23 Things
Thing 5: Diversity
Activity: share your Bitmoji and write a short blog post on your thoughts around diverse representation online I had a terrific amount of fun creating my avatar above (and dressing it). As the article Can computers be racist? states, the internet is considered a great equalizer; however, as this module has pointed out, like anything, the devil is often… Continue reading Thing 5: Diversity
Week 5 of 23 Things – Thing 12: OER
Thing 12 asks us to ” Find an OER in your field and share it on your blog. To do this, use either the Edinburgh OERs, or the resources provided on the Open.Ed ‘Where to find OERs’ page.” There are many places to go for OERs, which was presented to us. So I found this […]
things right to copy
Copyright is a hot topic in the heady world of lecture capture. It’s also Thing 11 in our online course 23 Things for Digital Knowledge We are lucky to be able to learn from best practice at other institutions. The excellent Jane Secker ( UK Copyright Literacy) has been doing some research to find out …
Turning off some Google juice, back to thing 4
Although I’ve not been blogging about all of the 23 things, I’ve though a little about most of them. This item from my feed reader: Google Has Quietly Dropped Ban on Personally Identifiable Web Tracking – ProPublica got me thinking more about thing 4 digital security To opt-out of Google’s identified tracking, visit the Activity […]
23 Things – Thing 12 Open Educational Resources Bonus Thing C
Bonus Thing C asks “Have you or would you now consider creating and sharing any of your own materials as OER?” The answer to this is NO, up to this point I haven’t shared any materials as OER. I also think I’m unlikely to in the future given that I don’t work in a teaching … Continue reading →
23 Things – Thing 12 Open Educational Resources
I have to admit that Open Educational Resources were a new concept to me – I hadn’t heard of them until I came to Thing 12. This is probably due to the fact that I’m not directly involved in teaching or the production of resources for teaching. Open.Ed was an interesting site to browse – I … Continue reading →
23 Things – Thing 11 Copyright and Licences (Pt.2)
I had intended writing a brief second post about my reflections on copyright and licensing, but as I sat down to write I realised that my thoughts on the subject are all over the place and can’t be concisely put down in a brief post – slightly worrying given that much of my day to day work involves … Continue reading →
