Well now. 23 digital things has been quite a journey. I have discovered things that I loved, things that I hated (sorry I did get a bit grumpy working through some of these during my holidays), and things that I could not have imagined existing. If I have a regret it would certainly be lack… Continue reading Thing 23, Reflection

Thing 22, Fun and Play
I already know about vines and snapchat from my kids. I have been tickled by many ridiculous short videos that just ARE funny (no logic to why), and I have also had lots of rabbit ears, doggy noses etc placed on my face courtesy of snapchat. However the idea of making my own vine created an… Continue reading Thing 22, Fun and Play
Thing 18 : Augmented Reality
I am quite familiar with the augmented reality applications, but one that I used extensively in the past is the Pokemon Go.
Thing 17 : Geolocation
Todays technology really help us in a lot of ways. One thing that really help me everyday is the GPS technology embeded in my devices. I…
Almost There
With the last few tasks of this series we’re getting into territory that I’m almost entirely unfamiliar with, and I’m excited for the challenge. Thing 19: Altmetrics As a student rather than fully-educated researcher and in a fairly obscure and past-bound area at that I had not come across Altmetrics, but it seems like […]
Thing 19: Altmetrics
I had a look at this. I am amazed at how much in the form of statistics and analysis you can do with the help of computers these days! What a great device to be able to see where and how often something has been published! The only shortcoming I found was it took a … Continue reading Thing 19: Altmetrics

Looking back at my objectives which were to discover and develop my technical as well as social skills, I feel that these have well and truly been met. I … Continue reading Thing 23: Reflection
Thing 23: Reflection
The end of 23 Things and I have enjoyed investigating the digital Things on offer: it was fun to take part in a Wikipedia Adventure, and to spend time exploring resources such as Lit Long:Edinburgh, Tumblr and SoundCloud. I particularly found Thing 5: Diversity to be very interesting and thought-provoking. As a very private person … Continue reading Thing 23: Reflection
Thing 22: Fun and Play
Had a play with snapchat and Vine. Really fun tools but like the simplicity of using my phone to text people. If it’s not at my finger tips I’m not sure how often I would use these things, especially since I’m not Ridley Scott or Spike Lee.
Thing 21: Online Games and Learning
I’ve been in to the National Museum of Scotland’s games and the Nobel Prize games. The NMS was interesting I played the what primate are you and it said I was a Granny Betty, an outgoing orangutan. This was an interesting game with the series of questions, but didn’t really grab me fully. It’s one … Continue reading Thing 21: Online Games and Learning
23 Things – Thing 23: Reflection
Thing 23 has asked us to reflect on our feeling about the course, and posed a series of questions for us to consider – my responses are below each question: Were there Things that you particularly enjoyed? Yes – I particularly enjoyed Thing 4 Digital Security, Thing 6 Accessibility and Thing 10 Wikimedia. Was there … Continue reading →
