Thing 20: Collaboration

-

 I contributed to the shared document on Google drive to help build a bank of advice for future 23 Things participants. I found this very easy to contribute to, I could view the document and see what other had written, then add my comments for future readers to have access to. It was very easy to use. An advantage of using Google Drive, I can see why this would be an effective tool to use in a workplace as everyone can contribute if they are provided with the link. The risk/disadvantage to using this type of platform would be that there is a risk of data being shared to those who don’t need to see it. If you want an accurate outcome/result; if the link is shared with too many people, you may not get an accurate outcome.   

I took part in the ‘Future topics for 23 things’ poll and voted for the topics I would like to see SSSC develop more 23 Things resources for. I chose ‘new to health and social care’ I think it would be a good thing to have more information about accessing and using the SSSC website as being new to care you might not be sure how it all works.  

I set up my own poll on Doodle, and I asked ‘Would you create a blog?’ I wanted to know I other people were interested as I had never thought about creating one before I started the23things digital. Here is a link to my Poll: https://doodle.com/poll/h936hb5m4cy2akf9?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link  


In 7 minutes of my poll being live, I had 6 votes which surprised me – more people were not interested in creating a blog than I thought there would be.  

 I found the process of creating a poll on doodle easy, I was impressed with how easy it was to add in options and have settings just right for you so you could make it private or public. A Poll would be a good way to get people's opinions clearly.  


Teneo et teneor,

Thing 21: Digital Legacy

-
  I know I have missed thing 20! It's coming, just not today..  Before completing this ‘thing (21)’ I had not thought anything about the concept of a digital legacy.    After reading the article  Our Digital Afterlife  ( Journal of the Law Society of Scotland , 2015) and watching the following video, produced by the   Digital Legacy Association .  I have mixed views on ‘Facebook's Legacy Contact’ I feel this is a great feature as after you have passed away someone can have control of your account, and the account can still be viewed because it would be a shame to lose all of the pictures and posts of the person as this can act as a way of comfort when grieving. I am divided as I don’t like the idea that someone can still post and change profile pictures.    I have downloaded a copy of the Digital Legacy Association’s   Social Media Will Template (Excel file) and have begun to think about what I want done with my Social media pr...

Dear Future me... Its been a while, 2 years in fact! Since my last post so many things have changed.  “It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.” ―  Roy T. Bennett I most definitely have stepped outside my comfort zone, I left my role as a support worker with the local council,  and took a step into the education sector, giving myself new challenges, and many new development opportunities!  I was soo nervous, in my role as support worker, i felt confident, like i knew exactly what i was supposed to be doing. Moving into this role as a Tutor/Assessor with a college, where i have no experience and a lot to learn!  It has been a fantastic year in this role, i have learned soo much - with thanks to my new colleagues and team.  I am looking forward to continuing this grown and developing further - and plan to (hopefully) use this blog to record this for my future self.  Dear Future me.....

Thing 18: Social Media #2

Through completing this ‘thing  ‘I  feel like I have been able to see how the organisation and the SSSC use Social media and the pros and cons of its use.     I have read the link :  Social Care Meets Social Media: What’s Holding the Sector Back ? And I have researched what social media platforms the organisation I work for uses. The organisation I work for only uses Facebook. ( https://www.facebook.com/sbcouncil ) I  could not find a twitter page or any other social media platforms. The information on the Facebook page is updated daily with relevant posts for the whole local Authority Area. This is a positive use of Facebook as up to date information is on the page and easy to find. I have saw this information being shared by Facebook friends also so it is easy to share and inform others. I think that twitter is another large platform for sharing information, and I am surprised that the organisation does not have an account. I feel this would be benef...
