Flexible, Open and Social Learning … Lost and Found Reflections !

Debbie Baffby Debbie Baff0

The good thing about about a four hour train journey is that you get the chance to find hidden blog posts that you had forgotten all about … Blimey …. ‘Here’s a rather long one I made earlier ‘ way back in July …. In relation to my adventures with the #FOS4L bods …. Day 1 REFLECTIONS on Digital Literacy and Identity I really enjoyed today although I must confess I found it really hectic but so enjoyable all the same. There is such a friendly atmosphere in the #fos4l community. So many familiar faces and loads of new ones. I was really pleased to see my fellow #BYOD4L collaborator Isobel Gowers. We had loads of fun on #BYOD4L particularly when we did a google hangout with the fabulous Sam Illingworth. Sam does the voice overs on the FOS animations in partnership with the awesome design skills of the lovely …

Flexible, Open and Social Learning Course : Debs Reflections Part One

Debbie Baffby Debbie Baff0

Blog Posts … I’m in awe of people that manage to write a blog post on a daily basis. I’ve found it impossible this week. I did however manage to engage on twitter using the #FOS4L hashtag quite a lot and the odd posting on Google+ Community so that’s something ay ? I’m glad that I had some advice from the very wise @suebecks  to try and record my reflections of the Flexible, Online and Social learning course on a daily basis  though as I did manage to get some thoughts scribbled down. Even though I didn’t in the end actually get around to actually writing a blog post per day … Reflecting on this I wonder if a little bit of me is still a bit hesitant with putting myself out there when it comes to actually deep and meaningful thought ?  Or maybe it really is just the lack …

#FOS4L : Day 1 Digital literacy and identity – Making Activity – Places that I visit online

Debbie Baffby Debbie Baff3

Making: Which places do you visit regularly when online? Where do you stay a bit longer and why? Create a map of your digital me. (ilo-3) I’m not sure it will come out ok but here is my map of my personal learning environment (PLE) where I engage ( at the moment ) of places where I go online….. as for the places where I stay the longest – I think for me this is a combination of wordpress, twitter and also more recently Google+, I think the main thing in common is probably the sense of connectedness and social presence that I get from these places which helps me to feel part of something .. if that makes sense

Debbie Baffby Debbie Baff0
