CND in Data Science -

-

Had the fantastic opportunity recently to complete a CDN course in Data Science as part of my professional development.

Fantastic online award, with a great opportunity to incorporate data science into award delivery - I chose Health and Social Care. This involved completing online modules and then taking part in a data science assignment, The assignment consisted of a lesson plan, PowerPoint and work sheets for students. I based this of Diabetes in healthcare. 

I highly recommend the award.

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...
