Making it all work together... Thing 23!!!!!!!!

I opened an account with Hootsuite and linked some of my accounts. I tried adding others but it was full s i can only have three and my facebook home and group accounts are considered two different accounts.I added streams and tabs to extend out my social media networks.

I like google alerts ,  if there is something topical or of interest to me it alerts me and i can restrict the times when it is to do so I found that useful.

It can be difficult to keep up with social media sites , so hopefully this will keep mine together on the one viewing dashboard.

Anyo other social media sites I use are the ones that I would have signed up to as I was doing this course. Before this all i was signed up to was facebook and instagram.

I will be interested to see how this works as I have only set up with Hootsuite. So it will be great if this works and I can view these in one browse.

Also saying a goodbye as this is my last THING that I will be blogging.

Thanks to all the co-ordinators for Rudai 23 as I have rreally enjoyed doing this immensely.

MOBILE THINGS THING22

HOW THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED!! HAVING NO PRIVILAGE OF POSSESSING AN IPHONE I COULD NOT USE THE APP 'GUM', I WAS SO INTERESTED IN USING IT AS MOST PRODUCTS NOW COME WITH A BARCODE THAT YOU CAN FURTHER BROWSE THE PRODUCT OR COMMENT OR BETTER AGAIN ENTER A COMPETITION OR THEY HAVE VISUALS ATTACHED.

SO I NAVIGATED THROUGH PLAY STORE ON MY ANDROID PHONE AND FOUND A SIMILAR ONE CALLED 'BARCODE SCANNER'. I REALLY ENJOYED HAVING A GO AT THIS SO I SCANNED A FEW BOOK ISBN BARCODES AND YOU CAN SEARCH IF IT IS A PROCDUCT OR BOOK ETC SO THERE YOU HAVE IT AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT SHOWS ME THE BOOK. I CAN WRITE A REVIEW , I CAN LOOK AT OTHER REVIEWS, THE BOOK IS ALSO STAR RATEDIT GIVES BIBLIOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND REFERENCES TO THE BOOK. YOU CAN ALSO EXPORT THE CITATION OF THE BOOK .

SO LATER I WILL BE GIVING IT A GO USING MY PHONE WITH SOME PRODUCT BARCODE SEARCHES AND SEE HOW IT WORKS.

LOOKED UP THE NEW COURSE 23 MOBILE THINGS, LOOKS GOOD PLUS AFTER DOING THIS I FEEL I WOULD HAVE A BETTER KNOWLEDGE AND I AM SET UP WITH TWITTER INSTAGRAM/FEEDLY/AURASMA AND PINTEREST TO MENTION A FEW THAT ARE LISTED. SO I WILL FINISH UP HERE OVER THE WEEKEND WITH MY FINAL RUDAI !!!, AND I WILL MAKE THE DECISION THEN.

Creating Infographics THING 21

I explored Easel.ly for this task. I found it very limited in what you can do with it. I was trying to use a template and my Title was Science /Technology for Girls. As it was recently science week. I was focusing on statistics for this :The amount of girls doing Science/Tech as a subject at secondary school (chemistry/physics/computers) and going on to third level also highlighting the amount of women in the Science/Technology field in the work sector.

No matter where you turn, the stats are grim. Today, women hold only 27 percent of all computer science jobs, and that number isn’t growing. This is unsurprising when we take into account how many women are actually studying computer science in college; less than 20 percent of bachelor’s degrees in computer science go to women, even though female graduates hold 60 percent of all bachelor’s degrees.

As women continue to make strides in fields like law and medicine, the gap in the tech industry has many wondering exactly what the culprit is. Many chalk up the difference to a lack of female role models in STEM fields to begin with.

Having tried using Easel.ly as stated above I didn't like the total structure and limitation of it, so I didn't post up what I tried to do as I didn't feel it was visually explanative as an infographic to display my info or my stats. Between using the basic Vhemes(visual themes) anything extra was at purchase price for pro vhemes or objects, So for me I would prefer to use Powerpoint as it is more personalised in a creative way. 

However I do believe Infographics are the way forward in the marketing world if done correctly. They are fast at getting the message across and I feel visual works much better with advertising/displays/marketing of well pretty much everything really!

PRESENTATIONS THING 20

I enjoyed doing this. I chose Google Slides to display my presentation. I followed some youtube tutorials on it. A bit fiddly when choosing background colours, line colour etc. but you get the hang of it. The presentation is brief, I used 5 slides to display, but using it and getting used to it was my main concern so that I can use this if needed with something else here in the Library.

I found this website easy to use and it stipulates the Licence Agreements very clearly as you can see above.
It is an excellent website and a brilliant one for anybody doing music you can download the sheets of music of choice Eg. by composer /instrument this I feel would be very informative and useful for professionals or sudents in this field.

Communicating through Photographs Thing 18

This is my photo choice embedded from flicker. I looked at both,with Instagram I feel this would be popular in libraries with the students as this is facebook linked. We use facebook here to inform our students of any up coming events within the college and this seems a successful method to date. Yes I think both would work for advertising any new events within the college, or any new displays. We are working on a display for 1916 so I will suggest using Flickr or Instagram.

Reflection Practice Made Easy - Gibbs Model ...Thing 17

This has been the first 'Thing' that I really have had to go over and over again. It actually made me Reflect a lot on my other blogs ,especially with the depth of reflection that is required with a blog using the Gibbs Model of Reflection/ Learning by doing. I think its a great way to tackle any new job role/ project /task or anything that requires time and effort at least you can follow some guidelines to keep a process flowing. As we are all aware of setting time aside for a task and wander off checking e-mails etc. and getting nothing done efficiently(well at least it can be me at times)

Using this process would be very much applicable with any task that I would have to complete within my library role. I think its a very effective way to ensure we are completing a task efficiently it makes us aware of reading the task in question carefully so that we fully understand whats required. The points outlined Description, Feelings, Evaluation, Analysis, Conclusion and Action plan are very well covered in the Gibbs Model. This is something I would try to apply with further tasks ahead with Rudai 23 and with my current position as a Library Assistant.
