As previously admitted in my 23 Things blog, I’m not much of a gamer, so I was a little apprehensive taking on Thing 21 – online games and learning. The most appealing subjects to me were the Nobel Prize Discovery Games and The National Museum of Scotland Games, I played two games on each site. … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 21 – Online Games and Learning →

Thing 20: Professional Social Networks
I realised that LinkedIn is very popular in Europe, and it becomes more noticed in my home country as well. I have a LinkedIn account but only go check it from time to time, particularly when I need to look for a job again. 😀 It took certain effort to maintain and manage LinkedIn well,…
23 Things – Thing 20 – Professional Social Networks: LinkedIn
For ‘Thing 20’, Professional Social Networks, LinkedIn was the most relevant to me as a non-academic & non-scientist. I have had a LinkedIn account for quite a few years now and have used it to varying degrees over the years. As with other forms of social media I must admit to being more of a … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 20 – Professional Social Networks: LinkedIn →
Thing 19: Altmetrics
Here it is – the Altmetrics of the article I’m interested in. And by clicking on the Altmetric Donut, there are even more interesting results – The demographics show that where are the audience and shares from, and how much people are there. Whereas the “Mentioned By” category at the below, states that how much…
Thing 18: Augmented & Virtual Reality
Went to the AR/VR session by 23Things last year. It was mind-blowingly cool. And I made a small painting for myself via Quiver, as the picture below, also played some InCell games but quit really quickly because I got motion sickness early in the game. Normally I don’t get motion sickness in the real life,…
23 Things – Thing 19 – Altmetrics
Getting close to the 23 Things finish line now, eeek! But first, I must learn about Altmetrics for Thing 19. As someone who doesn’t have much to do with the research side of things this was a very new topic for me & something I hadn’t even heard about before today. I imagine prior to … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 19 – Altmetrics →
Thing 17: Geolocation Tools
Can’t live without a geolocation app on my phone these days, to be honest, and Google Maps is one of my best guide buddies. It is super useful for navigating to a new place. Although I don’t like to share my geolocation with apps in general, Google Maps is surprisingly helpful for retracing my steps and labelling…
23Things: Thing 3 – Digital footprint
I took part in the digital footprint training from the University a wee while ago so I already felt pretty comfortable with this thing. But I thought I’d google my name again, just to keep an eye on how my footprint is looking these days, and these are my thoughts on my own footprint: it’s […]
Thing 16: OneNote & ClassNotebook
I have no idea OneNote is able to do a lot of things – especially the Optical Character Recognition that is super useful – since I am used to Evernote and it offers pretty much the same features as OneNote. Plus there is little need to use external note-taking software or applications for me since…
23 Things – Thing 18 – Augmented and Virtual Reality
Okay, so I think I may be the only person left in the world who hasn’t played PokemonGo – shock, horror! I was never a fan of Pokemon in my younger years & if I’m honest I’m not really much of a fan of playing games (I know, that makes me sound like the most … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 18 – Augmented and Virtual Reality →
Thing 15: Tumblr
I used to have Tumblr account where I followed the amazing articles and photos for hobbies – from posters, graphic design, typography, architecture, and interior design. But then after a few years, I decided to delete the account, since I realised that I could not keep up with all the things on those social media, and my…
23tims Blog Post #1
Hi All – I’m joining 23ThingsEdUni from the library of a regional uni in Australia. Our library is becoming increasingly involved in digital literacy so it’s very timely for me to be learning about the “23 Things for Digital Knowledge”. As an indication of my, ahem, vast experience in all things social media, this is … Continue reading 23tims Blog Post #1 →
