Day 3
https://debbaffled.wordpress.com/2018/01/17/swansea-does-byod4l-on-day-three/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Great to meet up with the lovely Non Vaughan Williams and Louise Rees today to talk all things #BYOD4L. There are some other pals at Swansea that are also taking part who wanted to come over ( Chris Jobling, Sharon Harvey, Sam Oakley and Philippa Price ) but who were unable to make it in the end but they were there in spirit ... did I miss anyone off the list ?

We were going to do a persicope but time ran away with us so just a selfie.

We had a lovely talk over a cuppa though about how things have been going with #BYOD4L this week and looked at things like using Tweetdeck and also briefly about Open Digital Badges and how they work.

Non mentioned that she was really enjoying the week and that being able to access the resources and undertake her reflections at times to suit her was a real bonus. She is also new to tweet chats so seeing how Tweetdeck can help was a revelation.

Louise took the opportunity ( as per usual) to throw in some well timed HEA Fellowship related observations and mentioned how useful the #BYOD4l activities can be for colleagues thinking about fellowship.

Great list of resources here on digital learning if your looking for references for #HEAFellowship //byod4learning.wordpress.com/resources/ #BYOD4L

- Louise Rees (@LJ_Rees) January 16, 2018

Louise also has an excellent reflective blog post here from her day one activites.

We also talked about the need for people to take personal responsibility and ownership of their own CPD. Non is hoping to apply for some of the badges available and I took pleasure in showing her my own badge collection ! ( #deblovesbadges)

The topic of curation came up of course ( which was very apt as it is the subject of today's C ! ). Lou mentioned that she uses pocket together with If-This-Then-That but that she is keen to see what things she can learn from tonight's tweet chat as she is thinking of setting up a Menderley group .

I use Menderley for my PhD studies and follow a couple of groups but hadnt really thought of it as a tool for curation ? I do use things like Nuzzel and Scoop it for curation and have also played around with some other tools and the ones that might be worth a look at in relation to Curation can be found here ...

I've put them on a new tool I found a couple of weeks ago called ELink

Right then ... just doing some final checks for tonights tweetchat ... see you shortly for the joint #BYOD4Lchat and #LTHEchat twitter chat at 8pm ...

Bye for now

Dear friends,

Already Day 3! We really enjoy learning with you all and have started making some interesting discoveries together. Many of you are becoming more confident in experimenting, communicating and sharing openly your thoughts as well as sharing your proven practice.

The tweetchats are continuing to be a great source of inspiration and support. You can catch up on last night's chat via the storify. There are also conversations happening in the Google+ space as well as in the blog posts too, so please keep sharing. Great to see that many of you are trying out new tools and sharing what works for you.

Tonight's tweet chat is going to be another interesting chat, and will run alongside a weekly popular chat that is. We hope many of you will be able to join us between 8 and 9pm (BST) tonight.

If you just arrived here for the very first...

Day 1
https://debbaffled.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/reflections-on-day-one-byod4l-connecting-with-confidence/
My Blog Post reflecting on today's proceedings ...

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Yesterday was really hectic but so much fun. We are also getting ready for a house move at the moment so I am surrounded by boxes and bubble wrap so life is certainly interesting....

The tweet chat went really well last night and I was so pleased to see some new faces including some colleagues from Swansea and also spot some familiar faces too.

Sheila tweeted some wibbly-wobbly timeywimey stuff courtesy of the lovely Martin Hawksey so you can see this below.

Neil and I split the questions between us which turned out to be a good strategy as these ones were done live rather than using the tweetdeck scheduler. I actually set an alarm on my watch to make sure I didn't forget to post my allocation of questions ... I have a habit of getting carried away with stuff and then rushing to post the tweet and forget the hashtag but having a little buzzer to remind me to do it in advance worked well ! We also managed to get all six questions into the hour...

What was lovely was the fact that the extension to the original 'C' by adding 'Confidence' seemed to give as some richer engagements as Alex observed in our post tweetchat backchannel messages.

There seem to have been some real moments of confidence-building happening throughout the day yesterday, including some experimentation with Periscopes which were fab.

Hi Suzanne, I have signed up to Periscope today, inspired by #BYOD4L haven't had chance (or maybe confidence) to try it out yet - but always great to find a new tool!

- Isobel Gowers (@Isobel_Gowers) January 15, 2018

I noticed that Bitmojis seem to have gone down well last night ..

some people were even inspired to download the app and do their own .. ( Clearly Suzanne the Bitmoji Queen has started a trend ...)

I always learn so much from #BYOD4L myself ...I"m looking forward to finding out more about snapchat from Suzanne ... all I have ever done with it is a couple of face swap pictures and some sparkly filters ... and I can't remember how I did that !

I keep promising to write a blog about my use of @Snapchat as a tutorial tool, which I'd be happy to share with you if you're interested? I have the fear (of blogging) and have the good excuse of being v busy with the students until the start of Feb. Watch this space 🙈!

- Suzanne Faulkner (@SFaulknerPandO) January 15, 2018

Looking forward to the rest of today and tonights tweetchat led by the awesome Alex and my lovely new bitmoji buddy Suzanne

Suzanne's enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in and give things a go is truly inspirational ! I'm sure tonight's tweet chat will be terrific !

Today's theme is Communicating and Digital Capability - LInk to Blog Post

Reflections on Day One #BYOD4L Connecting with Confidence

I'm looking forward to facilitating on BYOD4L this week (15th to 19th January 2018).

BYOD4L is a bite-size facilitated open course offered over 5 days for educators and students in HE but also anybody else who would like to learn with us as to how we can utilise our digital media and devices for professional, lifelong and lifewide learning.

Judging by the organisation team hangout that we had on Friday it's going to such a giggle. ( Sheila MacNeill, Alex Spiers, Neil Withnell and Suzanne Faulkner) I already know the lovely Sheila, Alex and Neil of course but haven't met Suzanne yet in person so it was a real pleasure to get to talk with her virtually... I am already in awe of her juggling skills and have found a kindred spirit in our love of bitmoji ....

I managed to do my little introduction video yesterday which I did on my iPad and edited with I Movie. I also popped some quick google slide images as some title cards. I must admit I had to eventually ask for help from my 13year old when it came to some of the more whizzy bits for editing ... wish I had asked him earlier actually ... he was flying around the iMovie app so much quicker than me ...I knew he could use it but I just didn't know how well ... I'll know for next time !

I've been involved with BYOD4L now for the last four years and every year I always learn something new and meet some more amazing people. I'm looking forward to seeing how things turn out with the extension of the original 5c Framework (as created by the BYOD4L Creators the lovely duo Chrissi Nerantzi and Sue Beckingham) this time around as we now have 10 c's for the price of 5 (as it were !)....

Connecting and Confidence
Communicating and (Digital) Capabilities
Curation and Copyright
Collaborating and Community
Creating and Celebrating

there will be a tweetchat each night at 8pm (follow hashtag #BYOD4Lchat ) and look out for live periscopes too !

I'll also be using padlet to keep a record my contributions together in one place for the week so if you would like to take a look at that please feel free.

I'm also hoping to get a few more people involved at Swansea this time around, I know there are definitely one or two that might be on board so we will see how that goes ...

I've made another quick padlet for that in anticipation !

Hoping to see you all on line as from Monday ... do let me know if you are joining in the fun and games ...

'Bring Your Own Device for Learning' course (or for short BYOD4L) is back for 2018 Running from the 15-19 January 2018 BYOD4L
BYOD4L is a bite-size facilitated open course offered over 5 days for educators and students in HE but also anybody else who would like to learn with us as to how we can utilise our digital media and devices for professional, lifelong and lifewide learning.

Leading the weeks activities once again will be Sheila MacNeill (Glasgow Caledonian University), Alex Spiers (University of Liverpool) Neil Withnell (University of Salford)

For the sixth outing of the open online course we are doing something a little different. Don't worry, we will still be using the 5Cs framework developed by the course creators Nerantzi and Beckingham but we've extended it a little bit. This year we will double the topics - yes that's right 10 for the price of 5!! They are...

Really looking forward to helping out again with the facilitation team for #BYOD4l in January ... its always a fab event and such a great community initiative to be involved with ... something to look forward to after Christmas too !

# data[].attributes.body
As well as participating and facilitating this year I am also hoping to raise awareness at Swansea and hopefully get some more people involved.

Day 5
https://debbaffled.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/byod4l-day-5-creativity-and-celebrating-reflections/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Well, this is the second time I have written this blog post as for some reason WordPress decided it didn't want to save my ramblings as ususal ... anyhow.. I've managed to rescue some of it and have added some more rambles ...

I just wanted to say (again ) that although #BYOD4L is over for another year, the community itself however is still very much alive and kicking !

Friday proved to be yet another fab exchange of ideas in our tweetchat.

I must admit though that I found it quite challenging at times trying to facilitate between posting the Questions and juggling the Tasks. I had to resort quite a few times to asking Alex and the rest of the lovely #BYOD4L team which one we were supposed to be on !

The wonderful community that is #BYOD4l embraced the whole thing as usual and contributed and shared so many ideas , images and resources in such a creative way ... Check these fab ones out from the lovely Suzanne, Neil and Kerry 🙂

T1 I've someone accidentally managed to create this. I've no idea what it is, how I did it or how to edit it 🙈😱😂 #BYOD4Lchat but I don't care because I posted my very own first blog today 🥂😂 pic.twitter.com/hRroseXefo

- Suzanne Faulkner (@SFaulknerPandO) January 19, 2018

Scott did us a couple of his fab visualisations too of the various exchanges showing the range of our community .. if you want to see more of Scotts clever stuff like this check out his blog

There were so many things that I was inspired by that are simply too many to mention but a key 'moment' if you pardon the pun was when my lovely colleague Chris Jobling gave an impromptu 'how to' session on how to use Twitter Moments ... and in true fashion modelling what he talks about he has made a moment ... I've embedded it here as its brill 🙂 I will be experimenting with moments very soon ! In the meantime ... enjoy this one Chris prepared earlier ...
Making moments
There is also a storify of the tweet chat available ( although of course this wont be available for ever...)

Day 4
https://debbaffled.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/byod4l-2018-day-4-collaborating-and-community/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In celebration of the fact that we have the collaborating and community theme going on today, I did a periscope this morning .... aided by my lovely roomie Rhian...we just did a very quick hello but I thought I would share some thoughts ... so

a couple of quick reflections from me ...
Save to Camera Roll Settings

I forgot to change my settings to autosave the video to my camera roll ( it will disappear from Persicope after 24hrs) I've now done this for the next one ...

As a workaround though, I used this helpful link that I found online http://www.downloadperiscopevideos.com/ which allowed me to copy and paste my periscope URL link ( which I found by searching for my name on Persiscope TV on my PC ) into a box and then click a button to magically download the file. I then uploaded that resulting file to my You Tube account .. ( there may be an easier way ! )
Send out a tweet beforehand ...
I did however remember to send out a tweet ( but only just ) to let people know
Read some stuff
I wish I had read this really helpful article from Donna Moritz ( @sociallysorted) before I did it ... I've also found this other good article from Mike Paul (pikemalltech.com) that has some tips for educators using Periscope.
Periscope is kinda cool with a buddy aka my lovely pal Rhian Ellis(‏)
I may not make this evening's tweetchat, in full but I will be back tomorrow ! Happy Collaborating ....

Day 2

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dear friends,

Wow! Day 1 is now over and we are all set for Day 2. It is so lovely to see so many of you engaging already, sharing experiences via Twitter and Google+. Many of you have set-up a brand new portfolio and have started reflecting on the experience. This is so wonderful and we really hope that this journey will lead to new and exciting discoveries.

Our first Tweetchat on last was a great success was a huge success and brought many different voices together. You can catch up via this Storify. It enabled us to make some new connections and strengthen some of the existing ones. For many it was the first time on Twitter or participating in a Tweetchat. As ever lots of sharing happened and we all felt part of the extended BYOD4L family. We hope this reflects your experience too and you will be back for more. It might be useful to 'warn' your followers that you are participating in a tweetchat if you intend to come back for more.

If you just discovered BYOD4L and are wondering what this is all about, here is a quick reminder. BYOD4L or Bring Your Own Device For Learning is an open bite-size learning event offered over five days to help us use the smart devices we have for learning, teaching and/or personal/professional development. Tuesday is our second day. Each day we will focus on a different topic. You can also choose to move between the topics at a time convenient to you. For each topic you should go to the topic page.

Today's topic is COMMUNICATING & CAPABILITY - Here you will find two scenarios to reflect upon and three suggested activities to complete. Feel free to add further scenarios and suggest other activities too. Do include the course hashtag #BYOD4L in all Tweets, Blog posts and Instagram photos you create. We'll be on periscope at around 9.30am today too with another intro to the day and reflection on yesterday. If you are wondering where to start with digital capability why not check out the Jisc Digital Capabilities Framework.

Remember that your reflections will become richer when you share them and engage in a conversation around them. Comment on what others say and invite others to comment on your reflections too.

We're hoping that you will be able to join our TweetChat between 8-9pm GMT by searching for #BYOD4Lchat on Twitter. This is a great opportunity to connect synchronously with colleagues from around the world.

We look forward to another day of learning together.
