After being busy largely eating my way through Christmas with my family, it is time to get back to work and share and learn some more things! Thing 15 – Digital Curation I’ve been using tumblr for almost exactly five years now and have seen it go through various stages of usability, and now as […]

Thing 17, Geocaching
I like this! I had heard of geocaching before and been quite curious about how it worked. Now that I have watched a few videos I see that it is not only a good way to get people out into the countryside (which in my book is a big win), but the hobby also seems… Continue reading Thing 17, Geocaching
Thing 16, OneNote
Continuing from my jaundiced view of the use of Tumblr in my last blog, I am struggling also to see the point of OneNote. Admittedly I didn’t give it much of a chance (a couple of pages and sections and no images as I couldn’t get that to work) but if I want to write I have… Continue reading Thing 16, OneNote
Thing14: SoundCloud
Ooh so I love SoundCloud! This is brand new to me and I chose to look at it instead of iTunes because I’ve just ditched IPhone for Android so didn’t feel like dabbling on iTunes. SoundCloud seems to me like an audio version of Instagram or Twitter. People post little snippets and you can search […]
Thing13: Video – YouTube
My work department has a YouTube channel where I post videos – mainly ones made at graduation each year, plus a few others. In terms of accessibility, I need to activate closed captions on quite a few of my videos – if you choose to set it up, it tends to get the words wrong, […]
Thing12: OER
OK so first of all, how did I not know about OERs and that there was a website for Edinburgh uni open resources??? Typical of our devolved institution that things exist and you don’t know about them! Anyway, now I know!🙂 So the Thing was to find things on the UofE OER that relate to […]
Thing 15, Tumblr
http://get-educated.tumblr.com/post/59012407163/the-flipped-classroom-is-a-giant-buzzword-these https://assets.tumblr.com/post.js Perhaps I am rushing through this programme and therefore missing the point (well OK I am desperately trying to get this done during my christmas holidays despite being weeks behind) but I struggle to see real differences between a blog, a tumblr, and a storify. They all seem like just places where you post… Continue reading Thing 15, Tumblr
Thing11: copyright
So I downloaded an image that I might use in a work presentation: first up a LinkedIn image. This one is creative commons free to use by accreditation – thanks to blogtrepeneur.com/smi who has some great photos of social media so definitely a site that I will bookmark for future use! Next I searched for an image […]
Thing 18: Augmented and Virtual Reality
Between 1990 and 1992, I took a Media Studies A Level course at a Cardiff tertiary college. I learned about media ownership and news values, the history of radio, how television signals are produced, and got to try my hand at some practical media production too. My final extended essay was on the rise of … Continue reading “Thing 18: Augmented and Virtual Reality”
Thing10: wikiversity
Ooh these things are getting interesting. So I recently heard from our CIO that the top place where people go to get information about a university is… Wikipedia. And I was about to do the editing task when I noticed that Wikipedia has a Wikiversity. So as I work mainly on marketing online degrees at […]
23 Things: Badge
As recognition that I’ve completed all 23 things blog posts, I was really pleased to earn an open badge. From the email telling me about this I was able to press a button and add the details to my LinkedIn profile – and was tickled to see the cute badger icon that is used by … Continue reading 23 Things: Badge →
Thing 22
Having looked at the different tools to explore I decided to have a go with Dubsmash as it looked pretty fun to use-something you could have lots of fun with friends. Unfortunately, after downloading the app and trying to record a couple of videos, it just wouldn’t work for me so I moved onto Snapchat. … Continue reading Thing 22
