I’ve been on Facebook for several years and I consider myself a pretty canny user. I use it to keep in touch with family and friends that I don’t see regularly. I like to keep… More

Twitter analytics with Thing 7
Thing 7 focused on one of my most-used connection tools. I’ve been on Twitter for several years and am familiar with the lists and various management tools. My chief reason for signing up back in 2009 was to connect with student affairs professionals. Oddly enough, it was through the use of Twitter and blogs that helped point […]
Circles
I *temporarily* added Mypermissions app. A) because I’m a bit cynical about giving my personal information to another site so it can tell me who has access to my personal information and B) because I don’t have the space on my phone for more apps! I had a read of their Privacy Policy… but I’m […]
Thing 5: Diversity
I had a lot of fun making my Bitmoji! I even got my jeans and (mostly) black t-shirt into the mix. I have found Thing 5 a bit tough, no doubt because I am a white, heterosexual female, who because of this has had the luck of never having to think about race in emojis … Continue reading Thing 5: Diversity
Things 3 & 4: Digital Footprint & Security
What ISN’T being accessed by our apps on our phones? I think this is the more pertinent question regarding our digital security and how much we allow applications access to our personal information. My mother especially is someone who will actively not download some apps to her phone because she doesn’t like their permissions. I … Continue reading Things 3 & 4: Digital Footprint & Security
Digital security
Reading through the documents on using apps safely and securely and safer smartphones I have discovered that I am quite adept in how I used my smartphone and apps. My phone is locked with a pin and finger print I back my phone up I install apps from a trusted source and read reviews before … Continue reading Digital security →
23 Things – Thing 5 Diversity
There you have it, my Bitmoji avatar created as part of Thing 5. It looks more like me than any of the other emoji/emoticons that are available but it’s still just an approximation to who I actually am, and I’m not sure it was worth the effort as I now have to work out how … Continue reading →
Week 4 of 23 Things – Thing 8: Facebook
Like over 1 in 12 people globally, I do use Facebook, but not as much I can could or should. Mainly due to the level of data the social media platform would gather on me if I did use Facebook Groups. I have used them in the past, having created and joined a Facebook Group […]
Week 4 of 23 Things – Thing 7: Twitter
I’ve been using Twitter since 2009 and over the years I have been exploring many management tools including Hootsuite and Tweetdeck. I have used them both when I’ve wanted to schedule tweets when I’m on holiday or before or during a conference, which I see more and more of, especially at large conferences such as […]
Things 5 & 6
Diversity I was really excited for Week 3, Diversity and Accessibility. As a white European, cis, Middle Class, able-bodied straight presenting woman I’m pretty high up the privilege list, and because of that I can afford to not always think about these things. So I wanted to tackle this as a active recognising of privilege […]
23 things week 4 Twitter
Week Four: Twitter and Facebook – 23 Things I’ve been on twitter for a while so I guess I would be an intermediate user. I’ve blogged enough about twitter for it to be fairly prominent on my tag cloud. In response to the various questions I do use lists. My follow policy is if someone […]
Thing 8: Facebook
I avoided Facebook for many years. I just wasn’t interested. Then, following a conversation with one of my many cousins (28 at the last count, and that’s the ones I know about – rumour has it there are others!), it transpired that I was the only cousin on that side of the family who wasn’t […]
