Weeknote 14/2013

This week I’ve been:

• Spending time at home – a whole week without an event or a conference to go to!
• Resting as Monday was a public holiday and I’d spent Friday and Saturday working.
• Catching up with my colleague Laura Hilliger for the first time in a while.
• Hosting an Open Badges in K12/schools community call featuring James Michie and Zoe Ross.
• Feeding back on the Webmaker call about the workshop I ran at Nesta’s One Day Digital event in Edinburgh at the weekend.
• Listening, reading and generally catching up with last week’s Web Literacy standard stuff. I wrote a modest proposal.
• Writing a post about Open Badges and the Web Literacy standard which should hopefully appear on DMLcentral soon!
• Turning down trips to Seville and Brussels because (unfortunately) they didn’t fit in well with my schedule.
• Working out my expenses for March. <yawn>
• Talking with my new colleague Mari Huertas.
• Interviewed by Faiz Abdelhafid as part of his MA programme.
• Conversing with organisations like the Open University and JobScout as well as people like Simon Gough and Guy Shearer about Open Badges in their particular context.
• Writing a proposal with my colleague Emily Goligoski on Open Badges for the Libre Software Meeting.
• Composing a blog post about how to align with the Web Literacy standard using Open Badges.
• Planning a new ‘napkin sketch’ for the Web Literacy standard (like the Open Badges one) with my colleague Chris Appleton.
• Hosting this week’s Web Literacy standard community call. Listen again here. Note we’re moving to Mondays from next week!
• Collating a whole load of animated gifs kindly submitted by my MoFo colleagues for my PELeCON keynote. Have a look here!
• Creating a NEW new grid for the Web Literacy standard based on community feedback.
