DL uNET! @acljohn - Tumblr Blog

July 2013 Update

I think,in part because of all the sites I host and develop, that this may well become a reflective blog.

In case you missed the July eMagazines, there were three. Where can you see them?

they are available, as pdfs, in the eMagazine Archive at... http://www.acljohn.com/emag-archive.php

the interactive versions at... - July's 1st - http://www.flipsnack.com/ACLjohn/f71k5obw - July's 2nd - http://www.flipsnack.com/ACLjohn/f7cfdas5 - July's 3rd - http://www.flipsnack.com/ACLjohn/fdtpekkt

By the way, I also published a one-stop collection of websites, tools, blogs, resources etc., for learners and practitioners engaged in the "World of Art". which can be accessed at...

http://www.acljohn.com/art.php in an interactive form or as a pdf to download.

http://www.flipsnack.com/ACLjohn/fhkmw9jc in the interactive form only.

While I'm wittering on about the eMag and Art publication, some of my readers tell me they can't read the interactive versions on their Apple devices. Well you can! Read the post I made at...

You may see, at the end of the last link, that along with the opportunity to leave comments, there is now an opportunity to "Star Rate".

I won't repeat myself,just provide you the link to another post about feedback...

I think I've probably gone on too long so, finally I've started pulling together libraries of apps for learning providers and their learners. I'm using edshelf and July's collection can be seen at...

I hope you find using New & Emerging Technology (uNET) I've included worth while and, who knows someone may provide a constructive comment or feedback.

Annual Event - My links

Today we were at St Helen's Rugby League Club, Langtree Park for our Annual Event #rscnw13

Thank you to all delegates, presenters, suppliers, venue staff and colleagues, who made the day enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to be with such open-minded, enthusiastic people who embrace change and share experiences.

I sometimes wish I could be in two places at once but, that's life.

If you missed...

my Helloside demonstration in the exhibition hall the resulting resource can be watched here.

my Enhancing the Learning Experience workshop, the LiveBinders Resource I used is available here.

my A 21st century practitioner should be able to… workshop, the LiveBinders Resource I used is available here.

I hope you enjoyed your day at the Jisc RSC-Northwest's Annual Event (if you didn't attend - you missed a great day) and the resources included in this post are of use to those who missed my small contribution.

See you in 2014's Annual Event?

I'm aware that some people are not aware of the ACLjohn Daily that provides a "Newspaper" from the tweets of people I follow. Take a look at...

The trouble is...

...all the extra work when you return from Annual Leave!

Yes it's nice to have a complete break, I didn't use a computer for over 2 weeks, but when you get back in work!

"Nothing new there" I hear many of you say. True but catching up can be onerous.

During my leave, I did publish, using my phone, 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.

I've also, since my return, 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 I hope so. It depends upon what you think.

Take a look at...

Ideas: Ways To Flip The Learning Environment

I hope that many of you, after the Flipped Learning Environment Addressed Events, have considered, or even better, have tried the Flipped Environment in your teaching & learning.

If you’re still looking to take the first step(s) toward flipping your learning environment, CPD, online course, or other form of education, this infographic by Mia MacMeekin provides some bite-size ideas.

Mia details 27 quick ways to think about moving the educational experience out of the learning environment.

As she clearnly states, flipping a learning environment is about a lot more than just putting lessons online. It’s about turning the idea of education on its head and getting learners excited to learn everywhere. Not just online.
