The Flickr app share extension on my phone seems to be uploading a ‘video’ that never finishes processing when I choose a live photo this appears along side the photo in the photostream.

A few children in my class need a bit of extra support in literacy. On a course at the NLC literacy base I was shown the idea of scribing sentences and then cutting them up. The result could be given to pupils to sort out on a wee board with slots and then optionally copied into a jotter.
Given my poor handwriting (unless I really slow down), difficulty in keeping resources organised and liking for digital I had a go at making a virtual version.
The first iteration just presents a field, typing a sentence and hitting return produces mixed up words to drag around. I’ve been using that for a couple of months.
I’ve then improved things a little by making a system to create links to that page that will have a particular sentence already created. Example
I’ve been sending these links out via Airdrop either directly on a few together in a note. I though I might make the page creation a little easier and also add a QR code creator: Mix Up Maker – Make a Cutup sentence or story..
I can then add the QR Codes to my pupils programs. These pupils have daily task sheets put in their jotter.
I am depending on the QR code API and the TinyURL.com API.
As usual the code in there is a bit of a mess. I always think I’ll tidy these things up, but rarely do. I need more time than I seem to have to really learn JavaScript so I continue to type and test.
The gifs above are made with LICEcap which does a great job of creating short gif ‘screencasts’.
I know that the days are longer when I can’t see all the daylight for one day on Broomhill Sky: Archive with out scrolling my iPad (baring tumbler api, internet or other problems).
Audio from my conversation with Dr. Ian Guest, (@IaninSheffield), yesterday evening is now on Radio Edutalk:
Radio Edutalk 13-03-19 Ian Guest “Exploring teachers’ professional development with Twitter”.
Ian’s approach to research is really interesting and he makes you think more than once about things you take for granted. #EDUtalk.
Skype just asked me to rate my call with @IaninSheffield I didn’t notice any audio glitches but may have missed then as Ian was fascinating talking about his PHD research on twitter use by teachers. If you missed it catch the archive which will be on Radio #EDUtalk soon.

I love this video from WordPress. Very similar in style to what I always imagined we could do for Micro.blog.
A hit of space to light out for the Territory at the end too.
