Thing 4 (Rudai 23) - Communicating Visually

My first attempt with Quik!

Thing 5 - learning to use PowToon

Just finished Thing 5 of the Rudai 23 Things for Information Skills.  I have a long way to go yet but here's my first attempt!

Thing 3 - hanging in there!

Just been working my way through Thing 3 for Rudai 23 and have learned more about Pixabay, Flickr and Creative Commons.  I will definitely use these in the future both at work and home - I have relied on Google Images up to now! I also created a Flickr account and liked this image - partly because it is one of the orangutans in Jersey Zoo (my family live in Jersey) and partly because it represents my journey into Social Media!

Thing 2

Thing 2

An interesting week for learning new things!  I attended a course on Twitter this week and sent my first Tweet - nothing earth shattering - but I did it!  I am still getting to grips with how quickly my very inconsequential contribution to social media can be liked, retweeted and be seen by people all around the world - surely one of the positives and negatives of this business!  Not sure when I will be sending my second one but I'm working on it.

I also commenced the Rudai 23 course - Things for Information Skills - and set up a blog.  This is my first post so I doubt that I will change the world but at least I can say that I am starting to adjust my perspective in relation to Social Media.
