Thing 22 Final Blog

Finally it is getting the end.  I have to say everything here is new to me.  I have done most of the things, but did skip a couple of things, such as Mendeley and library thing.  I am quite happy that I have started so many new things in the last 13 weeks.  I like Netvibes, Flickr, QR codes, Tagxedo, Wordle and Slideshare, but I don't like Facebook, Doodle and Linkedin.  I also dislike having created so many accounts and passwards.  I like reading other people's blogs which is really helpful expecially when you worked at it alone. The 23things were more time consuming and complicated than I thought.  I was stuck at several things, such as delicious and google drive.  Therefore, it would be better if there had been several tutor-led sessions organised in the middle of  the whole course.  Luckily, I had Mina in HSL to encourage me to continue this journey.  She was really good and enjoyed the 23things.  In general, I didn't feel really enjoying it.  This was because I just followed the instructions to do every thing, but acturally didn't understand the way it worked.  In future, if I have time, I will investigate and practice them more.  Well, for now

Last thing: Google Drive

I logged in my google account, went to "My Drive", created a one slide using presentation and shared with another 23Things particepant.  The person received and viewed the document, but didn't edit it.  Anyway, I don't think I need to use the Google Drive for my job.  Finally, I am happy to say that I have roughly finished all the things.  Many many Thanks to Mina for helping me during the study!

Office 2.0 week (20th and 21st)


Fairytale House Of England (Nx Power Lite) from ADRIANA CIOBANU

Thing - 20: Slideshare
It's really helpful to read Pam's blogger for embedding the slideshare in the blogger.  Never say it's too easy!  Thanks!  I don't think I will use it often, but it's a good place to search presentation examples.

Taken by a HTC yesterday, uploaded to flickr and transfered to blog.  My first flower picture from flickr was blocked because of copyright, so the thing 17 about Creative Commons Images is very useful.

Getting organised week (14th and 15th)



Thing 14 - Delicious
I am confusing totally with the name.  Nothing to do with delicious, except you use it as food menu collections, like Mina did. It seems like an  electronic folder to classify or oganise your favourite website links, something like Netvibes, but I prefer to Netvibes, as it is easy and quick to use it.


It's very bad start for Delicious.  I tried many time to Sign in  the Delicious with Twitter and Facebook, but won't let me in.  and I don't know what the reason is.  Really yuck!  Finally I have to create an account.

I have installed the Delicious Bookmarklet in Firefox and used it to add several websites and tagged them.  One question is that I am not sure if the tag name must be chosen from their list.
Thing 14 - Mendeley
Read the instruction and watched www.mendeley.com/videos-tutorials, But are not with those 3 referencings.
Thing 15 - LibraryThings
It must be interesting to people who like reading.  I have to leave it, as I didn't read too much before.  I will try in future.

Reflection week (13th)

Finally tried Facebook, but didn't like it at all.  Tried to search several people in Linkedin and got their basic professional information.  If need it in future, will join it.
So far the good news from this program for me is that I am getting to know something new which I didn't touch and maybe had never thought to try before.  On the other hand, the bad news is getting time to fit it in is not easy when it is busy, especially when the content is not interesting to me.

Time management week(7th, 8th and 9th*)

Created a poll, sent to my other two emails and added doodle to my netvibes, but didn't investigate further.  Ric's instruction for Browsers is really good, but no time to investigate and have to leave it for now.
