Month: January 2014

Snow Day!

With no classes on Tuesday, I decided to work from home, and it was quite the eventful day!

  • I stalked some students on Twitter for the next Bob Gribben video. If you haven’t seen the first two, be sure to check out the TechOhioState YouTube channel! 🙂
  • I worked on a blog post about phishing and the dangers of short links. I dare you to click on this “GO” link.
  • I updated my Vendor IT Expo site to include suppliers that have recently confirmed their participation. It’s another U Blog site, so feel free to check it out! https://u.osu.edu/VendorITExpo
  • I proofread emails, reviewed résumés for a student position we have open, tracked some website stats and studied for a Marketing midterm late into the evening.

I got a lot done, and I got to wear my comfy sweatpants all day!

Now I just need spring to show up so I can enjoy the beautiful campus!!

Accessibility

For the past month, I’ve been working with Accessibility Analyst Pete Bossley on a blog series on accessibility in the OCIO.

His series does three things:

  • it describes what accessibility is,
  • it uncovers the plan for incorporating accessible systems and websites in the OCIO and
  • it provides resources for faculty and staff to keep accessibility in mind when they are creating content.

I encourage you to take a look (or a listen) to Pete’s blog series! Accessibility in OCIO

Social Media Privacy

I recently gave a presentation on how to maintain at least some privacy on social media, with my partner in crime, Ashley. It was part of the mini workshop series, Digital Discovery Days (#DUDiscovery for you social media folks who aren’t afraid to be out there!)

I just wanted to share our major takeaways in this one-page tip sheet:
