Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)This documentary breaks down the story of Pink Floyd. I remember ransacking my step-father’s cassettes when I was growing up. He had Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Atom Heart Mother. I think that this opened me up to a different appreciation of music. I also had a friend who was slightly obse...

Aaron,
I love what you are doing with your Newsletter on several levels:
“#tds1374 F shaped reading gives us only speed https://t.co/Z9WgGLBu4w”
@livedtime the F shaped reading pattern was a fascinating read, I could identify the behaviours while I was reading it!
You walk your way through windows, through tinted glass, through framed wonders, through landscapes...
wandering alone,
mirror mazed,
a nod or salute;

“Random Access Poetry Day 2 https://t.co/dMYk563xoU Kevin’s Meandering Mind #NaPoWriMo2019 with thanks to @johnjohnston for Flickr Blender tool and attribution options”
@dogtrax, you found the embed code button?
This month, in connection with April’s random designation as Poetry Month, I want to use images and photography and art as inspiration, and after a call out to some friends on Twitter for some help, as I wondered how I might access a random Creative Commons image from Flickr when I need one, I have settled on a couple of paths forward.
Hi Kevin,
I love the random so love this idea.You mentions a couple of my toys/tools along side some others.
The Random Flickr blendr was originally thought of as a sort of contemplation toy, so I avoided making it easy to grab images. I guess I could make that easier now there seems to be a purpose. I think FlickrCC Stampr used to have a url parameter to kick off a search I’ll look at adding that back in at times.
Side note, I remember Ben Rimes Poetry for People blog. Now gone but discussed here: Come Write Poetry With Me This April! – The Tech Savvy Educator
Update, 1-April-19 : I’ve made a couple of changes that might be useful:
http://johnjohnston.info/fcc/?s=poem adding ?s=searchword will preload the flickr search
On Random Flickr Blendr I’ve added a pause button and move the links for better screenshotting. I changed the links to flickr shortlinks so they can be read from an image (Not very accessible!)

Interesting, I guess you could create draft bookmark posts on your blog using this. My account will downgrade and I don’t think I’ll have access to rules anymore after May.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the listen, it is not often I am accused of keeping things on track;-)
I’ve though about this a wee bit. Doing the whole thing via the indieweb would be beautiful but it raises the barrier for participation very high. Setting up WordPress for indieweb is certainly doable but the number of folk interested in WordPress and education that would do this would be low. Given the notion of accessibility I think this is more something to aim for long term?
I had though of the idea of running the whole thing on p2, I’ve set up a couple of short term p2 blogs for Education Scotland to go with public events. You can set p2 to allow subscribers to post and set a widget to allow self registration. In our set up this registration was limited to Glow Scotland users. This of course loses the indieweb bit. Unfortunately p2 is pretty horrible on mobile.
I hope you get a proposal together, it would be great to have an indieWeb presence virtually at the conference. I expect you would post your presentation tweets via your site. I did consider that last time when I presented but was worried about timing and appearance on twitter which I’ve not really got my head round.

Akismet and I have different opinions on comments
After I finished laughing I realised this it telling about our online conversations and being defensive as default.
Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -&g…
Hi Alan,
This is interesting stuff, you had me at serendipitous😉
I think the IndieWeb is worth raving about, I’ve not really figured out all the technical details, I tend to install, see if it works and forget.
Even more exciting is with the IndieAuth plugin you can log in with your own blog as opposed to relying on twitter or github.
I love to chat about some ideas around aggregated courses and the IndieWeb that are floating around my head inspired by micro.blog.
