August Reflection



Just in case you missed some of the things I did, during August 2013, you may want to read/take a look/listen...
  • to the five podcasts I posted at http://snack.to/a7x9enmp or
    downloadable as mp3s.
    They may be of particular interest to learning providers who are...
    - setting up new teams;
    - considering using iPads in their learning environments;
    - looking at deploying iPads in learning environments;
    - want some heads-up suggestions on must have accessories; and/or
    - looking to save money by considering Chromebooks in the learning environment.
    Remember: you can provide feedback, ask questions, add your experiences.




  • the blog post, resulting from experimenting with VCRec at http://acljohn.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/just-testing.html.
    Note: this tool is a must for those of you looking at producing resources for...
    - Flipped Learning Environments;
    - Flipped CPD;
    ... and much more.
    Probably the easiest way to convert existing PowerPoint presentations into video clips.
  • the finds, curations, during August, that probably saves me the most time and money, was Clipping Magic at http://clippingmagic.com/. A must for those in media, photography and more.
    Note: other curations I've posted during August can be found at ; remember, these curations can be filtered by Tag.
I've also been working with Anita, on our updated Moodle - Work in Progress - so feel free to take a peek at http://moodle.rsc-northwest.ac.uk/; feel free to let us know what you think so far. Constructive comments please!

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...
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ukfe/archive/2013/04/16/byod-in-education-what-is-bring-your-own-device.aspx.
I still need to look at adding background audio and a few other elements but, let me know what you think of the wideo.

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


...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?
