In advance of the fifth run of bring your own device for learning (#BYOD4L) and inspired by Sheila McNeil’s post “#BYOD4L A story of personal and professional needs and wants“, I thought that I too would reflect on my experience of my last three #BYOD4Ls.
Looking back at my Twitter Archive, I find that my first #BYOD4L contribution was a retweet on 14th July 2014:
#BYOD4L Day 1: *connecting* http://t.co/AliENVNkmt via @melsiguk

I’m struggling to find any blog posts from what was then the 2nd run of #BYOD4L (the first looks to have been in January 2014) so I probably only engaged via Twitter and Google+.
I note that I was sticking my nose in quite early!
@chrissinerantzi I note you are using EdShelf to share #BYOD4L resources. I hear it's closing down 25th July: http://t.co/SUegOOSxXp

For curation, it looks like I was favouring these tools:
A5: Diigo, Flipboard (best device app I've found), twitter favourite, pocket, pearltrees, Evernote. No app to rule them all! #BYOD4Lchat
— Chris Jobling (@cpjobling) July 16, 2014
Reviewing these today, Diigo, is being updated automatically, I’m an inactive curator on Anne Hole’s BYOD4L Flipboard, I’m still using “favourites” on twitter but have stopped using Pocket, Pearltrees and Evernote!
I’ve had a dig around the Google+ site and Twitter but can’t find anything that I actually created that first outing, but here are a couple of shares that are worth revisiting:

And some opinions that I expressed:

Some really good communities building around http://t.co/78IcmOuUCm. See https://t.co/zCgE9A8jpm and #BYOD4L. MOOCs don't need coursera!

A4: Google+ seems less ephemeral than twitter but I haven't yet found the sweet spot for it. #BYOD4Lchat

As this post is already getting quite long and #LTHEChat 72 is about to start, I’ll stop there, and continue this story in Part 2 tomorrow.
