This week’s thing – Thing 11 – was very interesting. I was aware of copyright to the extent that I know to make sure images/videos I use have the correct licence so that I’m not breaching any licences. However, I didn’t know that copyright applied automatically and that it had the same protection whether or … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 11 – Copyright →

23 Things – Thing 10 – Wikimedia
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 7 – Twitter
For thing 7, Twitter, I choose the intermediate level. I have a personal Twitter account and one I use at work as a departmental account. I used my personal Twitter account for the tasks given in ‘Thing 7’. Lists – I had previously created lists on my personal twitter account for things such as ‘travel’, … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 7 – Twitter →
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. I understand that some websites are better than others but it was heartening to know that … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 6 – Accessability →
23 Things – Thing 5 – Diversity
Good morning from me & my Bitmoji 🙂 . This week I was looking at diversity online through the use of emojis, which, I admit, is not a subject I had ever thought about before! 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 →
23 Things – Thing 4 – Digital Security
This week’s ‘Thing’ was Digital Security & I found it particularly interesting – who knew my phone had an IMEI number (or what IMEI meant, had to Google that one). Well, anyway, I do know now & I took the advice from the Ofcom page & registered it with Immobilise, so I felt a little … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 4 – Digital Security →
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

As a new member of the Learning, Teaching & Web team I’m using this opportunity to brush up on all things Digital Skills & thought ‘what better way to start than with the 23 Things programme’. By completing the 23 Things I’m hoping to … Continue reading 23 Things – Thing 1 & 2 →
