Haven’t been on SoundCloud for long, but I noticed that some of my friends are using it to exploring and expanding their tastes of music created by indie artists (which I think it would be useful for me in this way as well), and that it is an amazing platform nurturing artists without much resources to…

23 Things
Today I thought I’d get stuck into the University’s 23 things course I’m hoping to find some useful things for my work as well as some personal development. First things first – adding the 23ThingsEdUni tag and other relevant tags – hopefully it’s worked!
23 Things – Thing 17 – Geolocation/Geocaching
I’m no stranger to GPS, having the memory of a goldfish and virtually no sense of direction means I probably use GPS more than most. Road-trips used to be interesting to say the least – between my lack of direction &map reading skills & my husband’s inability to read while in motion (travel sickness 😦 … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 17 – Geolocation/Geocaching →
23 Things – Thing 16 – Digital Curation: OneNote
I’d say I’m a relatively new user to OneNote and currently only have 3 Notebooks that I use regularly, though I do find these very useful and will certainly be adding to these. I use OneNote to track my achievements by month, the side tabs are particularly useful for organising my notes in this way. … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 16 – Digital Curation: OneNote →
Thing 13: Video – YouTube, Vimeo, and Media Hopper
For me, YouTube is a daily go-to website to check out some things I am interested and keep updated. So naturally YouTube become the first choice to complete Things 13. I haven’t noticed I have quite a few of playlists really, ranging from the hobbies to professional or educational purpose. I tend to bundle videos I…
23Things Badge
After completing all of the 23Things on my blog, I was awarded my very own 23Things Digital Badge. Which now sits all shiny on my blog!
Bonus Thing C
Have you or would you now consider creating and sharing any of your own materials as OER? The answer is NO. Mainly it’s because I do not consider myself an expert or professional in any way to be able to share any knowledge I have. Educational resources, in my opinion, requires specific and in-depth knowledge towards a…
Thing 12: Open Educational Resources
Sadly, on our Oped.Ed website, there were no related content in the business field or my specific area. But I found something interesting – Videos for international students. I remember that it was especially helpful for preparation to Edinburgh since I was at the other side of the Earth before the arrival. I think OERs open up…
Thing 11: Copyright
When preparing for a presentation, I often like to looking for visual aids to help convey my concept and engage the audience. For amazing, high-quality pictures, VisualHunt and Pixabay are the go-to. And recently I found making quick contents for leisure use on Adobe Spark, such as easy websites and social media content, are…
April 2018 – so what’s it like to work with a student intern?
I have now been working at the University of Edinburgh for over 12 months and am enjoying every minute. The work is challenging, satisfying and interesting. Work colleagues are diligent, supportive and great fun to be with. What more could … Continue reading

Reflection “Panorama” by jplenio is licensed under CC0 1.0 What were the Things you particularly enjoyed? I enjoyed Thing 21 about the online games, especially the Hour of Code. I thought this was a great site. I had heard about it but had not spent much time in it before doing this. I think this is a… Continue reading Thing 23
Thing 22
Fun and Play “Pet” by Winsker is licensed under CC0 1.0 I have to admit at the start of this section of the blog that I am a bit camera shy, which is why I have not signed up to the tools for Thing 22. However despite my lack of presence on these sites, I am aware… Continue reading Thing 22
