Continuing the 23 Things journey & have now arrived at Thing 3. I know right, 2 Things in 1 day! Thing 3 is about the Digital Footprint and one of the tasks is to Google yourself. I have done this before so I assume I have some idea what to expect. My privacy setting on […]

It’s a big deal for someone who does not particularly enjoy writing to commit to a blog. Once you have a flow, it’s all good, it’s just the getting there. Aside from which, my mind is not on happy blogging activities. My mind is with Cappi who joined other past doggies last Friday. For purely […]
Thing 4 – Digital Security
This week Digital Security was the topic surrounding “Thing 4”. After reading the Smartphone Security Informationprovided by the Information Commissioner’s Office, I’d say I’m quite secure when using phones as I use pin protected passwords and on …
Thing 10: Wikimedia
I am writing this post listening to the sound of Wikipedia being edited in real time. The one sound I never hear is silence, a powerful reminder of the site’s pervasiveness. The task of Thing 10 is to spend some time with Wikipedia by playing the Wikipedia Adventure Game, a tutorial designed to teach new… Read more Thing 10: Wikimedia
Thing 6
Accessibility Accessibility refers to how easy or applicable it is for everyone to access or use a resource/tool. When I was reading the articles, one concept on accessibility, I never really would have categorized here previous. That was the idea of gendered language or terms, and encouraging inclusivity. Apparently, the most common example of this […]
Thing 3 – Digital Footprint
Hi everyone, I’m back with Thing 3 to cover Digital Footprint, which is basically described as the print(information) we leave behind in the digital world. Apparently, the first and best place to start is by Googling yourself, so that’s what I did!&nbs…
Thing 6 – Accessibility
Years ago my husband and I started a little import business and built our website from scratch. We spent hours planning the content and working on our site. The topic of accessibility was an eye opener for me. I learned many things but mainly I learned how uninformed and ignorant I was about the range […]
Thing 5 – Diversity
I have enjoyed using emoji’s since they were introduced and had no idea of the hidden meaning behind some of them. To me a peach is a peach! The use of emoji’s make messages more personal and I think everyone should be able to choose emoji’s which are representative of their person, culture and beliefs. […]
Thing 4: Digital Security
This was a worthwhile and long overdue exercise. I was quite pleased with my permissions settings on my device – only one app had been given unneccessary permissions. This was a game my son had installed. I downloaded the My Permissions app through the Apple Store and was surprised to find that three apps had […]
Today’s “thing”: I’m reflecting on information security and my smartphone
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’ve been spending a while between these last few blog posts for my digital capabilities adventure because I wanted to take some proper time to reflect on things. A lot of what’s involved in this project are things …
Thing 3 – Digital Footprint
I didn’t find much about myself on Google and DuckDuckGo, but what I did find was terribly out of date. My LinkedIn profile picture was an inappropriate professional choice and the information old and not a reflection of my current professional role. I’ve reviewed my platform privacy settings as a result of this module, and […]
Thing 2 – Create a Blog
I set out to complete this programme towards my continuing professional development and I will definitely tick that box, but since starting the programme and building this blog I have become excited about the opportunity to become much more familiar with the social media platforms my children use so that I can have some fun […]
