During the course I took part in google+ community discussions and twitter chats. Each day was focussed on one the 5Cs:
- Connecting
- Communicating
- Curating
- Collaborating
- Creating
Taking part in BYOD4L introduced me to lots of interesting new apps and tools for use with smart devices. It was also useful to share notes on the use of these devices with participants across the country.

The evening twitter chats were always interesting. For those who use twitter you will be familiar with the idea that each comment is limited to 140 characters but in a twitter chat this also needs to include the hashtag which in this case was #BYOD4Lchat. Things became a bit more limited at one point in the week when the BYOD4L chat was running alongside the #LTHEchat which provided something of a challenge when commenting. However a lot of comments on twitter are bolstered by images or links to material meaning the tweets can be kept brief.As a relatively new lecturer I am currently developing my own skills by undertaking the PgC LTHE and I found this BYOD4L course to be a useful addition to my studies.
The BYOD4L course runs frequently and all the material is openly accessible via the following link or on twitter so if you are interested in reading more I would recommend visiting the site and joining the Google+ community and following @BYOD4L on twitter.
