Open Thinkering Weeknotes, job, weeknote, work

This week I’ve been:

Mozilla

  • Submitting expenses and claiming back delayed train tickets.
  • Hosting this week’s Web Literacy Map v1.5 community call.
  • Editing the audio and writing up the Web Literacy Map community call.
  • Creating GitHub issues as well as a meta-issue for all of the Web Literacy Map v1.5 competencies.
  • Responding to relevant GitHub issues in the teach.webmaker.org repository.
  • Thinking through (mainly on paper) how the Web Literacy Map skills/competencies fit together.

  • Writing:

  • The final push for Web Literacy Map v1.5 (and how you can get involved!)

  • More of the upcoming Learning Pathways whitepaper. Rescoped it slightly too, with the help of Karen and Robert.

Dynamic Skillset

  • Setting up a business bank account. After reading some advice on the MoneySavingExpert.com site and reviewing which banks we use for personal banking, I decided to go with TSB (which has a branch in Morpeth, where we live.
  • Asking previous clients for quotations about how I helped them. I’ll use these on the upcoming redesign of the website.
  • Talking with a couple of potential clients about how I could help them.
  • Catching up with Jade Forester and then Nate Otto about the current state of the Open Badges ecosystem.

Other

  • Feeling a bit ill. I had to get out of the swimming pool as I felt sick on Thursday. 🙁
  • Meeting up with Andy Stewart for a burrito which, given the above, I made sure was mild.

  • Writing:

  • Wednesday Wisdom #27: Trying

Next week I’ll be mostly working from home. On Thursday I’m taking a day’s holiday from my Mozilla role to speak at the Future Classrooms event in Northern Ireland – my first gig for Dynamic Skillset!

I also need to get writing. I’ve got a couple of books to make progress on and some articles I said I’d write for people. It’s an odd time.
