Blogs
Thanks "23 things" I'm running a bit behind schedule but I've really enjoyed the blog thing.  I found a couple of items on a few blogs that were really interesting.  For  a start Derek's blog had a great piece showing the world economy in 38 maps - would be a great teaching resource but apart from that was all round fascinating.  Also check out 40 maps that explain World War One and 40 maps that explain the Roman Empire.
In The Ed Techie was a discussion on open access - quite pertinent in view of the research uploadathons being promoted in the university in Open Access Week 20-24 October. By the way, the FoEd uploadathon is happening Monday 20 October 3-4.30pm in the Library Training Room.

23 things for research

Well here I am again - the third time I've started my blog.  The last 2 times I've got going but not kept going - third time lucky.  I like the idea of using the blog as a professional reflection and learning tool, so let's hope that sticks.
I hoping to enjoy some conversations with some other of you "23 things" participants.  So far our team has had quite a good face to face discussion on Thing 2 - online security.  Having said that and having set up 2 step verification the other day, today I have turned it off - the codes take too long to come through to my phone.  Any suggestions of how I can work around that?
