Thing 11 / picture perfect 

this is a beautiful photograph that I found on flickr.com and it has a Creative Common No-Derivatives licence which basically means that you can re-use and  re-share the content, as long as there are no edits made and you give the original photographer credit. You could even use this for commercial purposes. 

I chose this picture because it remembers me of my trip to Paris a few years back and I really miss travelling and going places right now. 

thing 11 / freedom of the hills 

I found this amazing photo on pexels.com and it makes you believe you can actually feel the air in that picture. it represents such a pure freedom feeling and makes you wonder to the places you’ve been and still want to see! 

Like every photo on pexels.com you can re-use and re-share this picture. However, you must not use this to create a poster or print without editing it first.

never heard of it? well you might want to give it a try... I always opened up a word document and saved a copied url with a comment on there whenever I had to do some research. not anymore. 

So according to google, who am I? 

I already googled myself a couple of times because I was just curious about what I might find. So what I found out is, that apparently there is an architect in Berlin who has the same name. There are no results on the google picture search, at least not on the first 3 pages, and be honest, who even looks past the first page? 

I am pretty happy with what I share on the internet about me. I created my facebook account when I was 12 i guess, but then it was mainly just for playing that really cool fish game everyone played. When I started high school, I deleted that account because I felt like I had some things on there I did not want to keep sharing. Since I have a new facebook account I am aware of what I post and that is not a lot. My instagram is a different story, I have 204 posts on instagram but I am happy with every single one. The ones I got tired of looking at I simply put in the archive.

You can also control a lot with security settings, like keep control of who can see your posts, storys and content. 

Think twice if you post the party pic from last weekend an keep in mind that it could show up when somebody looks up your name on the internet. 

is it really a smart idea to post a picture of yourself drinking beer and partying? Well, at first, it might seem fun and of course you want your friends to see what you did this weekend. but do you have to post that on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram? Think about it. You know what they say: once on the internet, it stays on the internet. It doesn’t matter if you delete the content, somebody else might’ve already screenshotted it, downloaded it or copied it. So you see, what you post is exposed and out there for everyone to see. 

23 things. 

what I hope to gain from this? Well I think that’s pretty simple. I want to gain more information about working with online tools and also how to use them efficiently. I also hope to put a lot of effort into this from a personal point of view, because usually I always procrastinate things until the very last minute so with the “ 1 thing per week “ task I hope I can stop myself from doing that.

With the self testing survey we did in the first webinar I realized that I have a lot to catch up with online security and also content creating. So those two things I hope to improve.
