At the University of Adelaide library we have been hoovering up one by one the 23 Research Data Things all year. So they are almost done so I thought I’d jump on to the next 23 Things. This one sounded great as I’m interested in all things digital literacy related .. and it’s only going … Continue reading Just started with 23 Things, looks good so far

Week 2 of 23 Things – Thing 4: Bonus A
I created an ‘About.me‘ page a few years back. I didn’t have this website live at the time and needed something to link to from my Twitter profile, so I thought a page with some essentials about me and links to my LinkedIn and Twitter pages would suffice. I use it as a digital business […]
Week 2 of 23 Things – Thing 4: Digital Security
What I found suprising from these readings: Smartphone Security Information, Apple iPhone or iPad and My Permissions – Apple Store is just how much data apps are collecting. I seem to remember a few years ago hearing the phrase ‘when the product is free, you are the product’ and in the case of free apps and digital security, you are indeed […]
Thing 3: On Digital Footprints
Thing 3, post 2, week which? Keeping going, keeping going – this feels like one of those things that I’d regret not making it to the end of. There’s evidently so much more engagement that can be done here, but I think I need to feel like I’ve got my feet under the table first … Continue reading “Thing 3: On Digital Footprints”
Thing 3
My digital footprint makes me slightly nervous. I’ve googled my name in the past and found that one of the top hits was for a lingerie company… definitely not me! When I googled this time around the company seems to have disappeared (from the first page of search results anyway). Surprisingly, most of the pages … Continue reading “Thing 3”
Thing 3
A couple of the tasks for an online course I’m currently undertaking, involves me searching for my digital footprint. This is basically where things you’ve written or put on the internet, no matter when or where, will leave a footprint of your online, digital life as they are seldom erased. I’ve always tried hard to […]
PictaPikoreYoowhat?
Googled myself. What you might expect Top results are work contact pages, then LinkedIn and Twitter. I am pretty sure I have my Facebook account on lock-down so that shouldn’t appear – tried adding “facebook” to end of my name confirming it doesn’t come up. So far so good. Result #6 is very current – […]
Bonus Thing A – About Me!
Here’s a little something About Me to round out week 2 of the 23 Things Programme! (Photo from: http://www.tripadvisor.com)
An introduction to 23 Things for Digital Knowledge
It was a colleague at work (the Digital Literacy Project Officer – woo!) who introduced me to this free, online course. One thing you should know about me is that I love online courses (especially if they are free). They are such a great way to increase your knowledge and get some professional development at … Continue reading An introduction to 23 Things for Digital Knowledge
What, the camera too?
I do not pretend to understand how all the little numskulls inside my phone work and interact with each other but I am pretty sure I do not want the Facebook numskulls having access to my camera. Were they hoping to take my picture when I was not looking, furnish it with a witty comment and share it… Continue reading What, the camera too?
Random Things! Teamwork/Collaboration
(Photo from: http://www.integressblog.wordpress.com) Participating in this 23 Things Programme has been a great experience, and it’s only week 2! I’ve enjoyed looking at other’s blogs and have decided to revamp my blog titles to coincide with the ‘Things’ we are working on. Which makes it easier to match. I have kept the creative side to … Continue reading Random Things! Teamwork/Collaboration
Thing 4 – Digital Security
(photo from http://www.smeadvisor.com) Finished reading the Smartphone Security Information link along with the reading in Step 2 about setting your permissions. I was enlightened by finding the permissions section was linked to my contacts. I’ve always wondered how LinkedIn knew who my contacts were. It is now very clear how this ‘magic’ happens! I feel … Continue reading Thing 4 – Digital Security
