Things 1 & 2 will introduce you to the programme and ask you to set up a blog to share your 23 Things experience.
Thing 3 & 4: Digital Footprint and Digital Safety
Your digital footprint is the unique trail of data that you leave behind when you go online. It’s what you’ve said, what others have said about you, where you’ve been, images you’re tagged in, personal information, social media profiles, and much more.
Thing 5 & 6: Diversity and Accessibility
Diversity and accessibility are just as important in our online and digital tools as in learning and professional spaces.

The term digital citizen refers to someone with the knowledge and skill set to use digital technology to effectively communicate with others, both online and offline.
Thing 9 & 10: Open Education and Algorithms
Open Educational Resources (OER) can help expand access to education, diversify teaching and learning resources, and improve knowledge sharing.
Thing 11 & 12: Video and Audio Media

Thing 19: AI and Ethical Considerations in Education
The type of AI that is capturing the world’s attention right now is generative artificial intelligence which can generate text, images, or other media. Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input (sensor, audio/video, speech, text) data and then generate new data that has similar characteristics.
Thing 20 & 21: Digital Wellbeing & Professional Social Presence
It is important to consider your mental wellbeing when participating in online spaces, and to protect our boundaries, both when learning and socialising online.
Thing 22 & 23 Wikipedia and Reflection
