Yes it's number 22!

It's also available for a weekend read. 


To be fair, you probably won't want to waste the sunshine at the weekend. As always I hope there is something there for all of you.

Do feel free to share it with others. It can be accessed...

Other Flipsnacks you may have missed, including the "Art Finds", are available at...
http://www.flipsnack.com/ACLjohn/
P.S. How about providing me with some feedback? Star rating is an option I've added.

Is this the first step of a very long journey?

As I hope you are already aware, I try to share things that I find with as wide an audience as possible. 

Those "things" include anything that could enhance current practice within education.
The trouble is, the more I share the harder it is for me, and I guess you, to locate specific items.

My strategy, yes I have one, puts the emphasis on producing valuable, useful, and interesting content.
The primary objective, of the content I share, is to meet the needs of users; practitioners, learners, administrators, managers, assessors and other stakeholders.

Scoop.It! and Mindmeister to the rescue.

 

Scoop.It!: allows me to curate content that can be filtered by Tags. This helps visitors, and me, to focus on specific curriculum areas, tools, portals etc. Take a look at http://www.scoop.it/t/technologies.

Mindmeister:  on the other hand, I use to "create" publications; see below...

What has this to do with the "First Step"?
Well I've started to pull together, one "area"/step at a time, curations already posted, into one document. 
I'm using Mindmeister to do this and the end products will be made available upon completion.

Yesterday I posted the "First Step"!
It pulls together my "Art Finds" - take a look at http://www.acljohn.com/art.php. There is a pdf version and an Interactive version, created using Flipsnack.
Do feel free to share with colleagues, especially those working with Art learners.
P.S. Note I've added Star ratings for posts. It would be nice to have some feedback on this and/or other posts.

3 New Live Binders

Just a quick update about three new Live Binders, produced to curate resources for three workshops last week.

  1. Apps4Education - A plethora of educational apps are flooding the market.which apps stand out from the crowd? Why? How are they used? Is the time ripe for practitioners to take advantage of these teaching tools? 
  2. Enhancing Current Practice: #1 - Using ILT (Information & Learning Technology) to enhance current practice and
  3. PowerPoint Surgery - Enhancing the use of PowerPoint for Teaching & Learning 
These Live Binders, and others produced by myself, are available to anyone who is interested. They can be found at...


These Live Binders will be added to, and/or reviewed/updated, at regular intervals.

As always I hope there is something there for everyone.
A big Thank you to Myerscough for your hospitality and encouraging feedback.

A lot has happened since my last post.

I've had a break, with my wife, in the USA visiting the USA Branch of the Dalziel Clan. 
During the stay I posted Issue 18 of the ACLjohn's eMagazine. The first to be published from California; well to be honest, the first to be published outside the UK.
Today, the 12th June 2013, I've been evaluating flipsnack.
I've tried interactive versions of the eMagazine in the past but, always sad because the hyperlinks failed to work in the way I hoped they would.
...to the rescue, well hope so! It depends upon what you think.
Take a look at...
or use the embedded example below...

Let me know what you think, please.
As usual,you can access the latest 2013's eMagazines on my website at...
