BYOD

Thought it was time to revisit WIDEO and, rather than just "playing" I thought I'd produce something that you may find useful.
Take a look at...
 http://www.wideo.co/view/110811366203485298 
or watch it on this embedded version.

The Regional Support Centre - Northwest will be doing an event on this soon so perhaps a little investigation/thought about BYOD may inspire you to engage with their event.
Details have already been posted at...
http://jiscevents.force.com/E/EventsDetailPage?id=a06U000000CU5XWIA1&srvc=JISC%20RSC%20North%20West and booking is at the bottom of the page that opens.
A good starting point, and the one that inspired this wideo, is the publication posted by Microsoft. Read their Blog Post and/or download the informative pdf at...

I still need to look at adding background audio and a few other elements but, let me know what you think of the wideo.

Embed Part of a YouTube Video

My latest effort is embedded below and via this link...
http://www.helloslide.com/presentations/sz4hoj3ses/embed-part-of-a-youtube-video 

Using this presentation practitioners and learners can easily, for free, embed just a part of YouTube video with time stamp for start and end. 
This helps to trim the YouTube video and the viewer will concentrate only on a certain portion of the video. 
Hopefully, you will find this useful.

Welcome to the University of Suli Breaks.

I look at a large number of RSS links daily, some of which include video clips. 
I start looking at many of them and, in some cases, watch the whole clip.
However, it isn't often that I, not only watch the clip but also look for others. 
It's even less likely that I then spend some time looking at these additional clips.
Well today was one of those days. 

The clips?

• I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate

Lyrics available at http://universityofsulibreaks.tumblr.com/post/47944196535/iwillnotletanexamresultdecidemyfate

...and...

• Why I Hate School But Love Education

Note: I can quite see how Suli Breaks, has been hailed by many as one of the greatest poets to have graced the mic in Britain. He's also currently considered one of the best performers within the UK, with his lyrical content unsurpassed by any.

"In all walks of life, I feel that it is important to listen to others, question what we do and reflect/review current practice."

By doing just that, we can adapt, plan, and bring about changes that will enhance current practice.
What do you think?
