Hello BlueSky. A kind person liked an old post which drew me back to this platform. I was posting a 10 year on series however no traction or interest made me realise times have moved on, and I’ve not been back here since. So should I hang around? Tell me, what’s new?

Here for a little while longer before the sea and beach calls me back to Australia.

It is lovely that you recall that. Loved that LN Connect session.

Day 122 revisiting 10-year-old #NoPlasters tweets;
Happy Birthday Kairos Modern Learning. Here's our reflective blog. Celebrate your milestones by sharing your learning.

Digs back into the archives to find that blog....
Makes me wonder about how much L&D use an org's history

Day 121 revisiting 10-year-old #NoPlasters tweets;
Learn, Reflect, Relearn. Repeat. This is a sound foundation for any modern learning environment.

One of my more bold #NoPlasters tweets in 2015, and one which I thoroughly stand by today. The learning never stops.
#Learning #Development

Great to be in the same time zone so to be fed your #EarlyShift writings again. I am replying in the hope that when I'm back in Australia the algo will now know to continue to serve me your thoughts.

To be honest, not much noise and traffic here. I post daily, revisiting my ten year old tweets. I am enjoying the discipline, the reflections and seeing what has changed (not that much!) more than the conversation. So lovely to get your reply! Happy Saturday.

I totally acknowledge that this revisit is a day later. Been on a plane Aus to UK without internet. 10 years ago my interruptions to the daily tweets were young child related or client work related, not ever travel related! I should perhaps schedule them, but I never did back then & so won't now.

Day 120 revisiting 10 year old #NoPlasters tweets;
Don't be afraid to embrace art in your org's learning e.g. as a memory trigger #FF @simonheath.bsky.social @dougshawart.bsky.social

I love these two Friday Follows from years ago are still showing us how art & learning mix
#Learning #Development

🤣 But I like a brown elbow patch!

Day 119 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Relive Open University TV progs from years ago by being equally as pioneering in L&D. Do things differently.

Loved how pioneering OU were back in the day. Ideas which seem old fashioned now could still be relevant - job aids, checklists, 1:1 help.

What apple pies can teach you about social learning <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The new L&amp;D revolution isn’t just about technology or Twitter – and you’re probably already doing it</p>

Day 118 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Social Learning is simply people learning from people. Tech is one tool for that;
"I didn't know what social learning was. So in the new @PeopleMgt, I asked other people. Turns out that's what it is"

Yup!

Day 117 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Keep up to date with new tech & ideas via advocacy from your network. Their story can help define your story

When I'm asked what's the most valuable way to learn if new to L&D I always say 'network'. Your #PLN are so valuable for your learning.
#Learning #Development

Day 116 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Value video to support new messaging via news headline style reports. Interview change agents in your org

Looks like I called it on TikTok style learning before that exploded. Who knew! Video remains a vital tool in our L&D toolbag. Do you use it?

Looking beyond learning #LTSF15 This week saw the fourth annual Learning Technologies Summer Forum take place at Olympia in London. And although the format itself remained largely unchanged, there was a definite shift in the cont…

Here's Kate Graham's summary blog on #LTSF15. Why not try a blog after your events bit.ly/1K05Mck Insights from this week's #LTSF15

Tweeting and blogging from live events was so important to me. It taught me to listen well, curate & sense make.
#Learning #Development

Day 114 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Curating knowledge is a skill for present & future L&D professionals. Practice the skill with Pinterest

Curation is a must-have skill for L&Ders now. Content is EVERYWHERE, so discerning what's relevant for your organisation context is a necessity

Day 113 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Love this summary of Flipped Classroom. Something to try in workplace learning QUOTED TWEET

So what was the tweet? Lost to the mists of time. Flipped Classroom seems old now, yet isn't standard. Why? Should classroom be lost to the mists of time?
#Learning #Development

Day 112 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Make use of Twitter for your own personal learning, especially today by following #LTSF15 for latest ideas

How much Twitter used to form part of my personal learning network! These days not at all. I use LinkedIn mostly. Where do your people hang?
#Learning #Development

One for you to ponder @jamjsl.bsky.social

Day 111 of 10YO #NoPlasters;
Know what your motivation is, or learning simply will not take place.

Short and sweet this time 10 years ago! Yet relevant and true for today. Tapping into learner motivation comes not from talking learning, but talking about business problems.

As I rewatch this video @fionamcbride.bsky.social I'm reminded of the germs of collaboration ideas which became #LnDcowork. I recorded this just after the first #LnDcowork with Liam Moore. Totally forgot so much of this. Proud we are still pulling #LnDcowork together after 10 years #TheOriginStory

'Helen asked on our Google+ community'
There is a lot of ancient stuff in this video! And the sound is a bit shonky too. I'm so glad however much the tech has moved on. However the collaboration ideas are top notch! Thanks @bevholden.bsky.social

After y'day's podcast, a video on collaboration with Helen Amery & Bev Holden youtu.be/89BYmK9bNkA 

What strikes me is the quality of cameras. Crazy how much they've moved in 10 years. Bev was rocking YouTube video pods before they were a thing!

Day 109 of #NoPlasters 10 years on;
Embrace the tech! A podcast made with Caro Walmsley of BrightTweet Hope you enjoy!

Podcasts have exploded since 2015. This is maybe the 1st pod I recorded, & no longer available. Here's the last one I was on instead youtu.be/nnePDrEknSE?...

Awesome! Enjoy

Day 108 of 10YO #NoPlasters ideas;
Crowdsourcing learning assets from your org engages them in whole learning process & gives stickier results

I still love this idea. When people are part of the creative process, they remember much more. More of this please, L&D.
#Learning #Development

Day 107 of 10YO #NoPlasters ideas;
Help your org's L&D evolution progress with @TowardsMaturity Benchmark

This benchmark is now part of MindTools for Business. Also 360 Learning have joined the party with their L&D Maturity Model. Benchmarking externally is still important.
#Learning #Development

Day 106 of 10YO #NoPlasters ideas;
Don't use jargon or acronyms. Use the language of your org to demonstrate how you can solve org's issues

One of the most important things I still bang on about. Nobody cares about learning but L&Ders. Use the language of your business!
#Learning #Development

Day 105 of 10YO #NoPlasters ideas;
NonL&D people don't think our way so we need to think their way to understand needs & communicate effectively

Often we are still using jargon, talking learning not business context, and sadly are not showing our value and impact.
#Learning #Development

Curious to know how it goes. People do love a good story.
