Thing 7 – Twitter
With so many social media platforms to choose from it is hard to find enough hours in the day to be ‘social’. I tend to stick with one or two platforms, and while I do have a Twitter account, I use it more as a quick source of information (current events, news updates) rather than …
Thing 7 – Twitter
I completed this Thing as a beginner. The first thing I learned was that I had set up a Twitter account in November 2010 and had not posted a single tweet! I still haven’t and I’m not sure that I ever will. I find the application intuitive and very easy to use – it is […]
Thing 7: Twitter
Chirp chirp, chirp chirp! Oh wait, not that kind of twittering.

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 19: Altmetrics
I installed the Altmetric Bookmarklet (which is really simple to install and use). Then I explored a few publications in my area of learning technology. It was sad to see some very low altmetric scores – it made me think how comparatively easy it would be to increase these with a few well placed tweets. After … Continue reading Thing 19: Altmetrics →
