Thing 22 is entitled fun and play – not so much fun if you’re coming up against a deadline…..!!!! I was in a real quandary on what to pick for this given that I don’t see the point of learning anything about Vine given that it’s about to be closed by it’s owner Twitter, and … Continue reading →

Thing 20: Professional Social Networks (LinkedIn/Academia.edu/ResearchGate)
LinkedIn is definitely a platform that could help my professional career. Whereas Academia.edu/ResearchGate are not something I would consider unless I became an academic.
Thing 18: Augmented and Virtual Reality
I’m sure when photography was invented and created back in the 1800’s people thought what is this? What is it doing to our world? This is what I’m thinking about augmented and virtual reality? How far does it go? I’ve never been involved with the Sims game online and creating your own virtual world. So … Continue reading Thing 18: Augmented and Virtual Reality
Thing 23 – Reflection
I have had so much fun completing 23things and it has been quite an eye-opener for me. Before starting this journey I was convinced I would have at least heard of many of the tools to be used – surprisingly this was not the case. One of the things I particularly enjoyed was week three, looking … Continue reading Thing 23 – Reflection
Thing 16 : OneNote
In the past I have been trying to use OneNote, experimenting ways to write down my studies and thoughts. In some way I like it, but then…
Thing 23: Reflection
Were there Things that you particularly enjoyed? This could be a long list as I have enjoyed most of the course, but two things really stand out: Thing 7: Twitter – the Twitter chat was… More
Thing 22: Fun and Play
I downloaded Snapchat just for this course and we had a good time playing with it at home but I won’t be indulging regularly! I’m not the most open of online sharers and and my face after two days of intense 23Thing-ing staring at the screen isn’t at its best even with crazy filters (though … Continue reading Thing 22: Fun and Play
Thing 21: Online Games and Learning Tools
I played around with Hour of Code last night and was transported back to the days of making cyan circles on the ZX Spectrum and typing in lines of code from magazines to unlock levels or cheats on games (perhaps on the Spectrum + by then). Those of us of a certain vintage learned basic … Continue reading Thing 21: Online Games and Learning Tools
Thing 20: LinkedIn, Academia.edu, ResearchGate
This takes me in a neat circle back to the beginning, or at least to Thing 3, and my digital footprint. I have profiles on all three of the above sites, all to allow me to look at information on others but none of which I use to interact with others. I’m not sure of the … Continue reading Thing 20: LinkedIn, Academia.edu, ResearchGate
Thing 19: Altmetrics
I am familiar with Altmetrics having attended two seminars in the past (one from the Athena Swan perspective presented by a rep from Altmetrics.com and the other an internal presentation from an impact perspective). I do use Altmetrics.com to chart impact of papers from our Centre but many non-D.O.I mentions (on Twitter for example) are … Continue reading Thing 19: Altmetrics
Thing 18: Virtual Reality
I have recently been introduced to virtual reality apps as my daughter was given a headset for Christmas. While some time was spent in wholesome educational immersion in worlds of dinosaurs and space, the tell-tale wiggle of my husband’s backside informed me that the family was now engaged in rounds of virtual golf. While I … Continue reading Thing 18: Virtual Reality
23 Things – Thing 21: Online Games and Learning Tools
For Thing 21 I tried both Kahoot and Hour of Code. Kahoot initially appealed to me because I’m a big fan of quizzes of all kinds, on and offline. I have to say it took a bit of getting used to, what with the two website set-up – trying to operate it in the same … Continue reading →
