An introduction to me? An introduction to the 23 Things List? Well since this is my blog I guess I can choose and so let’s look at both. Me – Becky Eley Born in England, I studied law at Wolverhampton and then becoming a bookseller for Waterstones (one of my favourite jobs). From there IContinue reading “Thing 1: An Introduction”

Google Maps Timeline & Digital Security
I’ve been (slowly) working my way through the 23 Things List, a project on digital literacy from the University of Edinburgh. Thing number 4 was Digital Security. While we include Web Security in a lot of our digital literacy prorams, I’m not a huge WebSec person. It’s not something that I think about or worry […]

Let Many Digital Flowers Bloom
I’m fairly sure I’m not a digi person, a data person or a tech person. I think I might be too outdoorsy, in a gardening kind of way. However, as a 53 year old woman and a social leader, I sensed it was important for me to do more than post to Facebook. Not that posting … Continue reading Let Many Digital Flowers Bloom →
LILAC Credo Digital Literacy Award
Last night 23 Things for Digital Knowledge was awarded the Credo Digital Literacy Award for LILAC 17. Not going to lie, I’m feeling pretty cool right now. I’m seriously excited to have won this award as it will really help with future projects. ALSO, I get to select a charity to receive £500. I’ve chosen … Continue reading LILAC Credo Digital Literacy Award
Thing 23: Reflections
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. What have I done? During 23 Things, I have: Started (another) WordPress blog Set my aims for my own 23 Things Googled myself Reviewed my iPhone’s security settings Made my own Bitmoji character W…
Thing 22: Fun and Play
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Late at night, disheveled and rather unshaven, I had a go at a few Dubsmashes. A fun bookend to a quality and serious course – kind of like post-karaoke fun for the selfie generation. Enjoy🙂
Thing 21: Online Games and Learning
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Kahoot I’d heard of Kahoot before, but had no idea what it was. It turns out to be some sort of learning response system. At City, we use Poll Everywhere as our main audience response system, which I’m rather a fan of. This is quite different from … Continue reading “Thing 21: Online Games and Learning”
Thing 20: Professional Social Networks
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. These last few posts for 23 Things will have to be fairly brief if I am to make it to the finish line in time. Been going in to rather greater detail than I was intending to and have time for – often the way! I joined … Continue reading “Thing 20: Professional Social Networks”
Thing 19: Altmetrics
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. I’ve been writing for more years than I can remember – spanning all sorts of things, from song lyrics and travel writing to technical instructions and book forewords. I’ve yet to complete a full length book, but I did manage to hit a different achievement this year, … Continue reading “Thing 19: Altmetrics”
Thing 17: Geolocation
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. There’s sort of these two polarising perspectives, right? Everything is great. The Internet has created all this freedom and liberty, and everything’s going to be fantastic. Or, everything’s terrible. The Internet has created all these tools for cracking down, and spying, and controlling what we say. The thing is, … Continue reading “Thing 17: Geolocation”
Thing 15: Curation
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. For those that remember it, the social bookmarking site Delicious was a great idea. Take a bunch of URLs like you’d save in your browser, save them online instead, and then share them with others – a means of collectively exploring certain themes across the web. I … Continue reading “Thing 15: Curation”
