Weeknote 08/2014

This week I’ve been:

Taking Monday and Tuesday off work due to…
Moving house. Not only a majorly traumatic and emotional event at the best of times, but both my wife and I were ill with cold/flu symptoms. Joy. And we’ve got it all to do again fairly soon when we buy somewhere and move out of rented accommodation.
Dealing with a backlog of email.
Sorting out the tags to use for people aligning with the Web Literacy Map. You can give your feedback here (it’s always good for someone to point out that ‘#IPAddresses’ looks a lot like ‘iPad dresses’…)
Scoping out my work for the next few months with Michelle Thorne and adding it to Trello boards.
Booking flights for the Mozilla All-Hands in San Francisco (April).
Catching up with Adam Lofting about appropriate metrics to demonstrate improvement in web literacy skills and competencies. Tricky.
Attending my usual weekly calls, which was more challenging than it sounds given I’ve had to do that over a flaky 3G connection.
Preparing for an NWP webinar on The Past, Present and Future of Web Literacy (next Tuesday, free)
Starting work on a roadmap for Webmaker badges (on hold now for a bit) and talking to colleagues from both the Open Badges team and my team about it.
Tidying up the background information for the Web Literacy Map. The latter should be updated on webmaker.org sometime soon.

Next week I’m working from home all week.
