To complete ‘Thing 10’ I journeyed out into the galaxy with the Wikipedia Adventure. I found this a very enjoyable and interactive way to learn and quickly understood how to edit Wikipedia & the importance of citations. The only thing I found a little difficult was editing using the Edit Source rather than the Visual … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 10 – Wikimedia →

23 Things – Thing 9 – Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra
So, last week it was time to attempt ‘Thing 9’- Google Hangouts and/or Collaborate Ultra, and here I am getting around to writing my blog about it. I decided to go with the ‘and’ option for this one and took a look at both. Firstly, Google Hangouts. I have used Google Hangouts in the past, … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 9 – Google Hangouts / Collaborate Ultra →
23 Things – Thing 8 – Facebook
Like most of the universe I have been on Facebook for quite some time, so long in fact that I’m now well past getting those ‘you’ve been friends with so & so for 10 years’ video things. I guess I’ve been around pretty much from the start but I’m not actually an avid user of … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 8 – Facebook →
23 Things – Thing 6 – Accessability
Accessibility was a rather eye-opening topic for me. Prior to reading the articles linked in ’23 Things’ I was quite unaware of all of the options there were for those who may have some difficulties in accessing certain technology/websites.

Reading the articles linked on the 23Things page was very interesting as it showed me view points I had never … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 5 – Diversity →
Thing 1: Getting familiar with 23 Things
This is the excerpt for your very first post.
23 Things – Thing 3 – Digital Footprint
Today’s ‘Thing’ was ‘Thing 3 – Digital Footprint’. I found the information very interesting and food for thought in terms of personal/professional online presences. However, it turns out that googling myself is actually rather boring. This is what it came up with: Facebook – however when clicked it didn’t show my page – privacy settings … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 3 – Digital Footprint →
23 Things – Thing 1 & 2

Thing 4: Digital Security
Facebook Recently we had two visiting librarians from Malta at work. When it came time for them to leave one suggested adding me as a friend on Facebook. The other said she didn’t really use Facebook but she checked in every now and again. However when…
Digital Knowledge: Thing 3 – Digital Footprint
