Thing 18 Social Media #2

-
I began this badge by looking at https://www.theguardian.com/social-care-network/2014/jul/10/social-care-social-media-digital-tools which is an old article from 2014.It looks at what is holding the sector back and states that " while social services may not have their own Twitter accounts, increasingly the people that lead them do".I  would agree that in 2014 our sector didn't have its own media presence but that has changed over the years,especially over the last few months.It probably was out of fear of data protection  and confidential issues but that has been overcome now with a more different concern. How can we reach these parents and children ? My organisation always had a Facebook page open to the public and sought permission from parents what childrens pictures could go on it.It also has a friends of page which is a locked group for parents to talk and discuss things. It now has a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and staff members on LinkedIn. We are telling stories and doing lessons on YouTube and Zoom and our media presence has been put to a priority group to get a bigger media presence for now and the future.

I follow SSSC on many platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook I did not know about Audioboom so I had a look. It seemed just like Instagram to me .Lots of pictures, colourful and celebrating achievement. I'm not sure I would really look at this much though. The platform I like using SSSC on the most is Twitter.

Thing 20:Collaboration

For Thing 20:Collaboration I was to contribute to a shared document, take part and set up a poll and then blog about my experience. Firstly I was to contribute to a shared document on either Padlet or Google Docs. The purpose of these documents is to build a bank of advice for future 23 Things participants.Firstly to get access to these documents I had to email sssclearningtech@sssc.uk.com to be sent a link. I sent a email for both Padlet and Google Docs and received the activation links within 1 hour. I began by going into Google Docs which was easy to navigate around and easy to put my comments on.I commented on 3 questions on this document. I then had a look at Padlet which I thought looked nicer than Google Docs but a little harder to put on my posts. I added a post but then realised I hadn't signed in so I signed in and then added another post. Then I played about with the document for a bit and was able to jazz up what I had written by making a bookmark from it.  Here is a li

Thing 21:Digital Legacy

Thing 21 -Digital Legacy These are the questions I have been asking myself whilst completing this badge. What will happen to all the information I have put online once I die ? Should I put someone in charge of this, either to keep things updated or delete? Who would this person be ? Who would I trust enough to give this person access to not only my social media accounts but my bank accounts ? I began this badge by watching the video https://digitallegacyassociation.org/   and reading the article at  https://www.lawscot.org.uk/members/journal/issues/vol-60-issue-03/our-digital-afterlife/ published in the journal of the law society of Scotland. I would never be looking after anyone in my present job who would need help with their digital legacy so I was looking at this from the point of view of what I have online and what would happen to all this information after I die.Also I may have a career change in the future so this information is helpful. I then downloaded the digital legacy ass
