23 Things – Thing 12 – Open Educational Resources
Thing 12 – Open Educational Resources (OERs), appears to be a topic I need to build my knowledge on. I have used the Open.Ed Media Hopper Channel and Open.Ed website briefly in the past but OERs are definitely not my specialist subject. I found many interesting videos and content while scrolling through the subjects in … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 12 – Open Educational Resources →
Thing 7: Twitter
I have been a Twitter user for a long time but I never use any management tools for my account. I took the opportunity of Thing 7 to explore Analytics and TweetDeck. It’s very impressive to see that almost a thousand of people have read my last tweet but the engagement rate was only 1%! I’m also… Continue Reading →
Geolocation: Thing 17 of 23
The road is long. The path is steep.I am trying to try everything and power through the last few things. To have come so far and not make it would just be sad.So, geolocation. Ot more specifically, geocaching.The Geocaching app is big on making you pay…
Thing 6: Accessibility
After reading the stories of web users and the article by Sabrina Fonesca for Thing 6, I came to realise that I used to take for granted the visual appearance of a website. I thought it would be fine as long as the colours used were not green or red. But accessibility encompasses more dimensions other… Continue Reading →
Thing 9: Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra
OMG These google hangouts features are so fun! It reminds me of the time playing an online strategy web game – the developers did the same thing to the game – if you type in “/banana” in the game chat, loads of bananas will fall from the top of the screen; and another secret code (which…
Thing 16
OneNote Although I have seen this tool in use and have seen other use this for note taking, it is not something I have looked into in any detail. So what better excuse than to dive into this now I thought! I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked using… Continue reading Thing 16
23 Things for Digital Knowledge
I just registered for this self-paced course for digital and online skills, initiated by the University of Edinburgh, see https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/learning-technology/social-tools/23thingsSo. The question is: why did I do this whe…
Thing 5: Diversity
Thing 5 reminds me of The Emoji Movie where there’s a princess emoji wanting to be herself and used a baseball cap instead of a crown. I never really thought that emojis could be related to diversity issue. This perhaps related to my preference to use the yellow round faces and things instead of gender-specific faces, etc….

Thing 4: Digital Security
Digital security and privacy of my mobile phone have been brought to my attention even before learning Thing 4. My reason is that I feel weird if any application can access my location even though I’m not using it. So in my mobile phone setting, I always select ‘while using’ option. After I downloaded the app MyPermissions Privacy Cleaner… Continue Reading →
23 Things – Thing 11 – Copyright
This week’s thing – Thing 11 – was very interesting. I was aware of copyright to the extent that I know to make sure images/videos I use have the correct licence so that I’m not breaching any licences. However, I didn’t know that copyright applied automatically and that it had the same protection whether or … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 11 – Copyright →
23 Things – Thing 10 – Wikimedia
To complete ‘Thing 10’ I journeyed out into the galaxy with the Wikipedia Adventure. I found this a very enjoyable and interactive way to learn and quickly understood how to edit Wikipedia & the importance of citations. The only thing I found a little difficult was editing using the Edit Source rather than the Visual … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 10 – Wikimedia →
