Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

November brings academic writing month #AcWriMo as researchers commit to making time to write regularly.   MmIT members would like to suggest a range of digital tools and social spaces are used to encourage other writers and share good practice.  Many of these have applicability beyond academic writing so we hope that you will find them useful.

Happy new year!
….And welcome to our new post type for 2019, a #5MinuteReflection. These posts, in addition to our familiar #1minutecpd posts, will provide some wider context and embed the technologies that we cover in #1minutecpd within practice. Each post should take approximately 5 minutes to read, so sit back and take a moment to reflect with us.

As January is usually not the jolliest of months and the long dark days can start to take their toll, I’ve decided that in our first #5minuteReflection post I’ll explore some of the well-being apps and technologies you can use to help keep yourself happy and healthy in 2019. These apps and approaches are also good to share with your students so consider promoting these approaches to your students also.
