Weeknote 30/2014

Open Thinkering Weeknotes, job, work

This week I’ve been:

  • Hosting the latest Badge Alliance Digital / Web Literacies working group call. We’ve moved these to be bi-weekly and you can catch up here.

  • Writing blog posts:

    • Announcing 15 new Web Literacy ‘maker’ badges!
    • FirefoxOS v2.0 is possibly the easiest-to-use smartphone operating system I’ve experienced
    • A quick update on ‘The Essential Elements of Digital Literacies’
    • Making the web simple, but not simplistic

  • Drafting a post for DMLcentral about learning / training pathways and web literacy.

  • Working with Michelle and Chloe on (potentially) upcoming MVP Contribution badges for Webmaker to scaffold people’s contribution.

  • Accepting an invitation to keynote the Literacy Research Association annual conference in Miami in December.

  • Figuring out my expenses for June.

  • Creating a team calendar for better coherence. It includes meetings we all attend, times when we’re on holiday, and (most importantly) birthdays!

  • Finishing off lots of little things before heading off on holiday.

  • Planning a presentation I’m entitling PRIVACY: getting beyond ‘meh’ for next week’s SuperMondays event.

  • Filling in a survey to inform an upcoming Badge Alliance manifesto. More details here.

Next week I’ll be… ON HOLIDAY! We’re heading off on Tuesday for a couple of weeks, driving and camping around Europe. Don’t worry, my home will be protected by sharks with lasers. And my parents. 😉
