Took part in the Collaborate and Google Hangouts forum. I wish I had known about Google Hangouts several months ago. It would have come in really handy to use this rather than Skype! The connection to both were very good. I liked the casual atmosphere Google offers. It was great to have Andrei share how … Continue reading Thing 9 – Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra

23 Things – Thing 8 Facebook
I’ve been on Facebook for a while though just for personal use, not work. I was aware of Facebook Groups – I have created a closed Group for the members of a Pipe Band I’m involved in running so that we can share information about the band and other things of interest. I’m also a member … Continue reading →
Thing 8 – Facebook
This was an easy thing. I’ve already been using Facebook for a while and have joined a few groups. At the moment there is no need to set up my own group, however the information on this week’s Thing 8 will come in handy in the future. As a participant of several groups, I like … Continue reading Thing 8 – Facebook
Thing 7 – Twitter
I’ve just created a twitter account thanks the Lynda.com! I’ve managed to comment on a few tweets! I wasn’t sure what to make of Twitter as I’ve not been involved. I appreciate there is still a lot to learn about this kind of social media. I really like that you can have instant messages pop … Continue reading Thing 7 – Twitter

Thing 2 : 23 Things Edinburgh University
I was told about 23 things when I was in an event at the uni. I didn’t know what it is actually, but then I was looking it’s informations…
Thing 9: Google Hangouts/Collaborate Ultra
This was an interesting Thing to have a go at. Both forms of media do the same thing – allow face-to-face interaction with others in real time. The Google Hangout needed to add some extra software to my PC before I could take part whereas the Collaborate Ultra just required me to click on a […]
23 Things – Thing 6 Accessibility
Reading through the selected scenarios for thing 6 was a bit of an eye opener – the range of potential problems facing website users is quite diverse, as is the range of potential solutions, some of which are in the control of the user, some in the control of the website provider and some to … Continue reading →

Hanging out online: Thing 9
Thing 9 presented us with a couple options for web-based connection tools, one of which was Google Hangouts. My institution is a Google Apps school, so we use Hangouts several times each week. Hangouts in that context are fairly easy to setup and/or join. When I have used Hangouts outside of work, sometimes they can […]
EduTalk Radio Interview
Last night I joined John Johnston on his Podcast/Radio programme EduTalk to chat with him about the 23 Things for Digital Knowledge programme I’m running at The University of Edinburgh. I’ve not been interviewed in a professional capacity in this way b…
