It's graduation next week, the official end of the University year and the start of the summer battery recharge. Inspired by a comment from my friend and colleague Chris Hall made at yesterday's #SUSALT18 Conference, I thought that it was time to reactivate my blog with a few thoughts on what I want to achieve over the summer.

So here, in no particular order, are the things on my todo list.

• Annual module review of my own modules.
• Final Board of Studies meeting
• Away day for programme review (planning to use the ABC LD Toolkit 2018 from UCL)
• Learn how to use the Rohde-Schwartz instrumentation in our labs
• Play with National Instruments micro DAC
• Produce a how-to for embedding OneNote class notebooks into Blackboard
• Survey of my college's Blackboard sites
• Develop guidance for achieving the minimum standard
• Help the University to define the data requirements for Annual Programme Review
• Prepare my Senior Fellow HEA application
• Train as an IET Accreditor
• Properly flip my semester 2 courses.
• Finish Laurillard's Teaching as a Design Science and finally read Talbert's book on Flipped Learning and Nilson's on Specifications grading.
• Continue to advocate for wider use of Microsoft Teams for Committees, Work Groups, Communities of Practice, Courses and Students within my University.
• Go on holiday
• ALT Conference

Some of these will be part of my CPD, some may be of interest to my readers. However, I make no promise that any will become the subject of a future blog post.

One reason that I haven't felt the need to Blog for a while is that I have been keeping a (nearly daily) Journal in TiddlyWiki. It's live, hosted in GitHub pages and reachable at journal.cpjobling.net.

For those who couldn't make the 10th SALT conference held at the Bay Campus, here is a Wakelet I made of the tweets from the event.

If you want to learn more about Wakelets and how to make them, the new way to curate social media posts and create stories using @wakelet by Sue Beckingham (@suebecks) is an excellent introduction.¶

Fourth day of #SU5DoT: Hashtags – su5dot - Jun 4, 2019

[…] To livetweet an event means to tweet about it while you’re actually participating in it. Conferences or seminar presentations are often livetweeted. This may be done in an official capacity, with organisers inviting participants to livetweet the papers. There is often a pre-agreed ‘official’ hashtag to use. The hashtag can be used before, during and after the event. Following the hashtag can be a good way to find out who’s going to be there, what the papers were about, and any follow-up questions. Hashtagged tweets can be curated and shared after the event. Did you miss last year’s SALT Conference? You can still catch up on the tweets! […]
