#tmslf11 #slf11 Quick Post



SLF dots
I managed the first day at SLF and well done GLOW TV for giving us footage of  the whole event . You can catch keynotes here.
The future must surely be on-line and with a  Saturday  thrown in for events like this - parents and learners could be invited too 
Still think that as a "learning festival " needs some more Further Education , Community Education , Higher Education and workbased voices in proceedings, 

Had usual fun at Teachmeet  and even squeezed in a session  - goodies are being collected this time here .
http://tmslf11.posterous.com/  which again hopefully means that the teachmeet message and as importantly the nuggets shared will get further into the system. Special shout out to the new team of organisers who doing a great job.

I've blogged about how I use Paper.li before 

But here is what I rushed through at Teachmeet
Paper.li is useful on a number of levels  http://paper.li/
1. It shows in a magazine format part of what you get from following folks on twitter 
2. Makes it useful tool to show people who don't get twitter and/or don't know who to follow 
3. I now follow so many folks that I use it on a weekly basis to view what links  folks have been tweeting
I use it for Scotedutwits  - and example here https://twitter.com/joecar/scottish-education-twits
and on a weekly basis paper.li turns tweets with links into  http://paper.li/joecar/scottish-education-twits
Here is today's edition the  timing captures SLF and TMSLF by pure coincidence
http://paper.li/joecar/scottish-education-twits/2011/09/21


How you do it - 
1. Set up a list in twiitter of folks who's postings you specially want to follow - share common interest  etc 
2. Set up paper.li account and point new title to this list - you can make papers that appear daily or weekly - weekly does me
