Blogging about blogging. It feels like looking in a mirror pointing at a mirror, and both are things that make me feel very contrary. I don’t really want to gaze upon myself in all my approaching-50-ness, yet I look in every mirror I see. Likewise, while I am typing I find that I am secretly hoping… Continue reading Thing 2, Blogging

Thing 3, My Digital Footprint.
Googling myself was both exciting and frightening and I was chuffed to find that the real me was my first hit. I was particularly happy to find that all of the website and image hits that were actually me were connected to my academic pursuits, and that all the other Heather McQueens seemed to be pretty well behaved.… Continue reading Thing 3, My Digital Footprint.
Things!
Yet another attempt at revivifying this blog on roughly its fourth birthday! But this time, with a slightly different format, namely the 23 Things project at the university. Having started slightly late is made up by the fact that I already read about the initiative and have this blog, so Thing 1 and 2 […]
On the Presentation of 23 Things
When I was asked to put together a 23 Things programme for The University of Edinburgh I couldn’t have been more pleased. You see I’m a joiner, a participant, a signer-up of ‘things’, and particularly online learning.
Thing 3: Digital Footprint
I found the Digital Footprint document on e-Professionalism a thoughtful and practical guide. I was interested in the emphasis on what you want to be in the future and on the future audience: What information do you want someone to find, if they search for you online? Do you want to keep your professional and personal identities separate or … Continue reading Thing 3: Digital Footprint →
23Things
I’ve decided to participate in this course because I’m curious to see what it will be like learning through a MOOC. I also hope to broaden my horizons in terms of digital literacy.

23 Things: Thing 1 and Thing 2
“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.” The Cat in the Hat, Dr Seuss I’m belatedly jumping on board with the University of Edinburgh’s 23 Things course, which is being facilitated by my colleague Charlie Farley in the Open Education Team. 23 Things for Digital Knowledge is a self-directed […]
what I hope to gain out of the 23 Things programme
The first block looks very interesting. I hope to learn more about social media and a better understanding of the other various topics.
Thing 2
So one of the questions posed in this challenge is: “was I aware of the University’s Social Media Guidelines for Staff and Researchers“? Not directly, although I guessed that there probably were some guidelines out there somewhere. Having read through the document, I thought it was well presented, reasonably concise, and a good layout for scanning. I’m … Continue reading “Thing 2”
Wipe your feet at the door
I’m continuing to do my 23 Things, and thing 3 is digital footprints. Whilst I’m pretty open about my life and the things that interest me I do try to put a little separation online between professional life and personal life. It’s not a hard line, but I do make sure my Linked In page…
