#BYOD4L wraps

So the January 2018 run of Bring Your Own Device for Learning (BYOD4L) is over! Thanks to the team, Sheila McNeil, Alex Spiers, Neil Withnell, Debbie Baff, and Suzanne Faulkner for their expert guidance!

I didn’t do the tasks, but I did do a fair amount of connecting, communicating and curating this time.

My TiddlyWiki record of #BYOD4L 2018 is byod4l.cpjobling.net. It’s one HTML page (index.html) which you can copy by pressing the save button. (The magic is all done with JavaScript.)

This TiddlyWiki an open resource (CC BY), so do explore, steal, and remix!

Techy Stuff

Everything is hosted on GitHub using GitHub pages.
The 5 #byod4lchats are Storify stories archived on GitHub pages using the recipe previously described.
Domain naming service and redirection are provided by Reclaim Hosting.

The Super Techy Stuff

If you want to do something similar, get yourself a GitHub account; clone github.com/cpjobling/byod4l.cpjobling.net. Check out the website for the branchgh-pages. Open index.html in your browser. Find out more about TiddlyWiki, and how to use it, here.

BYOD4LChat Number 1

I created this page as a proof of concept using CoDog’s link extraction tool on the story that was curated by Sheila McNeil.

Observations, long tweetchats like this should be edited in the Text view in WordPress. Rendering the tweets in the Visual HTML editor view is not something that the WordPress can cope with, but is probably necessary if you want to add commentary to a chat rather than a straight record.

The page will take a long time to load as each tweet has fetched as HTML, embedded in the post and rendered by the browser! (I assume Storify caches the embedded tweets somehow to avoid overloading the Twitter APIs.)

There’s a danger that you might crash your WordPress server!

Conclusion, a story which can be archived as a static website (See Archiving Tweetchats) may actually be preferable!

Here is the Archived Chat

See you next week – same time same place! #LTHEchat – remember it is a shared chat with #BYOD4Lchat on 17th Jan

— Deb Baff 🤗💖🦄 (@debbaff) January 15, 2018

Phone, laptop and mobile internet. Obviously I plug into work wifi and sometimes big displays #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

Was waiting to check it was OK to do so, i.e you wanted it before this chat or after and to include further reflection. I have the lovely @debbaff to credit for me using PADLET as my repository, but I'm using @Pebblepad as my vehicle – #BYOD4Lchat

Q2 What apps or services do you use to connect? #BYOD4Lchat

— BYOD4L (@BYOD4L) January 15, 2018

Interesting. Is that because workplaces are less willing to supply devices, or that ppl just prefer it that way, do you know? #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

haha happens to the best of us steve 🙂 no worries ….#byod4lchat #LTHEchat

— Dr Sharon Flynn (@sharonlflynn) January 15, 2018

A2: We've tried quite a few 'workgroup' apps at work, but none of them have really stuck. Often we just use the one we personally prefer – it's much better if there's no-one else on there to give you work to do! #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

Please write a Blog @SFaulknerPandO I want to learn how to hold tutorials via Snapchat #BYOD4Lchat

A4 #BYOD4Lchat I've used the Visitors and Residents activities with my students (academic staff). This helps them reflect on their own skills – they tend to make their own assumptions about their own skills. https://t.co/BICVVQa1js

warning Sharon – tweetdeck is highly addictive #BYOD4Lchat

— Deb Baff 🤗💖🦄 (@debbaff) January 15, 2018

I find reframing lurking as legitimate peripheral participation can do wonders for people's confidence – gives the permission to wait a little and gradually engage #byod4lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

it's a amazing. Love it. I will definitely be using it in future. Much easier. #BYOD4Lchat

— Sharon Harvey (@sharon_harvey2) January 15, 2018

A4 Yes scenarios could have been flipped in terms of their response! I assumed that that would be the response and I shouldn't have. We assume students are much more confident. #BYOD4Lchat

with you there Sheila. I use the term 'positive silent participation' #BYOD4Lchat

A5 #BYOD4Lchat I very much started out as a lurker (introvert by nature) but it's about taking one baby step at a time. https://t.co/mULjZ7qFEs

— Dr Sharon Flynn (@sharonlflynn) January 15, 2018

https://twitter.com/CliveBuckley/status/953004302557220865

A5 just by trying – have a go approach – what could go wrong? #BYOD4Lchat https://t.co/sbA4wdjMOf

— Professor Neil Withnell (@neilwithnell) January 15, 2018

A4 I sympathised greatly with teacher in the scenario. Its only with gentle support and nurturing – show and copy type approach – that I've been able to engage in the things I have. Tweetdeck, hootsuite etc a case in point #BYOD4Lchat

— Louise Rees, SFHEA 🪩🎨 (@LJ_Rees) January 15, 2018

like that one .. and musch easier to spell 🙂 #byod4lchat

— Deb Baff 🤗💖🦄 (@debbaff) January 15, 2018

A4 #BYOD4Lchat establishing confidence to engage is more important than knowledge itself. The former will sustain you much more than the latter.

— Professor Andrew Middleton (@andrewmid) January 15, 2018

A5: For an edtech type, I'm usually very late to actually using technologies myself. I think it's because I'm never really quite convinced that anyone wants to hear me. So I lurk^H^H^H^H legitimately peripherally participate for a while #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

https://twitter.com/sheilmcn/status/953004594514284544

Yes, I've always liked it as it felt like a very natural, observable process #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

A4 For me its about providing a safe, supportive space (physical or virtual) to allow people to ask questions and get up to speed at their own pace. Seems obvious but I've seen examples where people in a space and they aren't ready #BYOD4Lchat

— Alex Spiers (@alexgspiers) January 15, 2018

we wanna hear you steve 🙂 #byod4lchat

— Deb Baff 🤗💖🦄 (@debbaff) January 15, 2018

Don't like the term lurking. Active listening is better for me. #BYOD4Lchat https://t.co/veJHYf02Gu

— Alex Spiers (@alexgspiers) January 15, 2018

Well, thank you! But for me (and probably some others) it usually follows a period of testing the water, understanding the protocols, seeing who the central characters are etc. #BYOD4Lchat

— Steve Rowett (@srowett) January 15, 2018

agreed, the scenario does hit home #BYOD4Lchat

— Professor Neil Withnell (@neilwithnell) January 15, 2018

A5 Following a CPD course delivered by @cpjobling, I used Google Forms ad then Flubaroo to offer an open opportunity to conduct a competency quiz and then engage in automated marking. #BYOD4Lchat

A5 One example was taking part in an online 12 apps at Christmas course #RUL12AoC helped pick up new tools.#BYOD4Lchat

— Dr Scott Turner (@scottturneruon) January 15, 2018

A5 I am like @sharonlflynn – a lurker but tweetchats like this are giving me more confidence. Once I started using Twitter I slowly gained confidence to have a voice #BYOD4Lchat

— Sharon Harvey (@sharon_harvey2) January 15, 2018

I think active listening is OK, but often associated with coaching type processes? LPP has good evidence base across multiple professional communities #BYOD4Lchat

I’m probably not going to have the freedom that I had last year to contribute as much as I would like, but I will be using a new curation tool – TiddlyWiki – and its mobile editing app Quine.

To Be or Not to Be?

I’ve had a work blog, courtesy of my employer Swansea University, for a number of years, but rarely use it.

Instead, I tend to post most often in this personal blog.

So, at the start of this new year, a time for reflection and resolutions, I find myself asking myself should I keep this blog and start using it more systematically or should I abandon it?

In answering this, I suppose I intended my work blog to be a place for reflecting on my teaching and learning and to support my students taking my courses?

This blog was meant to be more personal, but in reality, takes on more of these work-related issues than my work blog does.

Should I, therefore, copy the posts over from my work blog to this blog, and have a single place to reflect? Or should I leave things as they are?

For an open practitioner (as I hope that I am) Is there an advantage in having separate work and personal blogs?

Are there disadvantages?

Which is the real me?

What do you think?

I’ve just resurrected the Dokuwiki that I used for various modules related to Internet and Communications Technology (ICCT). You’ll find this at its new home at dokuwiki.cpjobling.net.

I’ve also set up a new development blog using the static-website generation tool Nikola. You’ll find Crispy Dev hosted at dev.cpjobling.net as well as on GitHub at cpjobling.github.io/dev.cpjobling.net.

#SocMedHE17

If the twitter hashtag (#SocMedHe17) I followed today was anything to go by, the 3rd Annual Social Media in Higher Education conference, held today at Sheffield Hallam University, was a great success.

I made a twitter moment and a Storify story (plus archive) of the event, but from my remote vantage point, the highlights were:

The build your own conference (or BYOC)
The Lego Serious Play session (lots of ducks)
David Webster and Lucy Cadbury on Saying no to fun
The mince pies
Sue Beckingham and Simon Horrock’s expose of University leaders who tweet
The twalk.

I went last year and I hope to go next year. I just need something to present!

Extra: Scott Turner made a TAGS database of #SocMedHE17.

December 15, 2017

Archiving Tweetchats – Experiment 1

If you take a TAGS file (I used this one: BYOD4L 2016-2017 (@cpjobling)) and sort it in time order, you can then copy column Q (status_url) and paste the data into the HTML view of a WordPress page or Post to get a similar archive to that which @Storify produces.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a limit (on hosted WordPress at least) and only the first N tweets are shown (where N is to be determined). If there are more than N, only the links are shown. Also, retweets will need to be romoved from the data because they are not shown correctly.

(There is a bug in TAGS, the HTTPS protocol has to be used for WordPress to embed a tweet, but Martin records HTTP in the status URLs … A simple fix.)

How to archive your Storify stories on GitHub pages

Yesterday, Storify announced the retirement of its Storify service. This leaves a lot of users, including myself, with Storify stories linked into their blog sites and nowhere to host them when the service closes. Storify has provided an export feature, which can output a whole Storify store as a static HTML5 webpage, and GitHub provides a way to host static websites via its free GitHub pages feature. I, therefore, yesterday tweeted about a proof of concept trial:

https://twitter.com/cpjobling/status/940677138415607808

Today, I’ve created a simple video to show how it was done.

I’ll be archiving my own collection of stories over the next few days and updating the links on this blog. To see my collection, visit cpjobling.github.io/stories.

This solves the problem for historical tweetchats. We, as a community, now need to find a new way to curate our future chats!
