Oppi – Open Thinkering

Weeknote 16/2014

Posted on April 20, 2014April 20, 2014 by Doug Belshaw

This was a only a two-day working week as I took a day in lieu on Monday after working last Saturday at the Oppi Learning Festival, a day’s PTO (Paid Time Off) on Tuesday, and then Friday was a public holiday in the UK. 🙂

So this week I’ve been:

Catching up with email after Helsinki.
Creating a blank starter template of a Mozilla Thimble-powered 3D presentation.
Uploading photos from my camera (most of which were taken by Melissa Romaine) from Oppi.
Attending my usual weekly calls.
Writing about how we’re repeating mistakes by focusing on app stores instead of the mobile web.
Meeting with Adam Lofting briefly to discuss learning analytics.
Featured in the first issue of Educating Modern Learners.

Next week it’s another public holiday on Monday, then I’ll be getting ready for the Mozilla All-Hands. I leave early Saturday morning. The week after that I’ll be taking off for a postponed 10th wedding anniversary trip with my wonderful wife. 🙂

This week I’ve been:

Realising (after tracking for 20 days) that coffee seemingly has zero effect on my migraines. Which is a relief.
Writing about Web Literacy and learning pathways.
Putting together a 3D, HTML5 presentation on Webmaker for the Oppi Festival.
Finishing off my expenses for February/March.
Travelling to Helsinki for the first time.
Running workshops with my colleagues Melissa Romaine and Emily Goligoski on Webmaker, Web Literacy and Open Badges. You can find links from those sessions here.

Next week is a short week: I’m taking a day in lieu as I worked Saturday this week, as well as a day’s holiday. That, in conjunction with the Easter weekend, means I’ll have a good chunk of time off before the Mozilla All-Hands in San Francisco.
