As well as this blog, there are some other things I've done hanging around this domain:
  • MozFest Games
  • TRU Games (the same as above, but for a Canadian audience)
  • My CMALT Portfolio (ask me for a password)

Laying it all out in order to begin

January 19, 2018February 19, 2019 · 3 Comments ·

WordPress, and linking it to a VLE as a blogging tool, using LTI. Please don’t hit me with a barrage of comments about why I don’t just use WordPress *instead* of a VLE (I’m looking at you in particular Lockley). There are reasons. About 4,500 … Continue reading Laying it all out in order to begin

Things I am going to try in 2018: Listening to new things

January 7, 2018January 11, 2018 · Leave a comment ·

https://twitter.com/ammienoot/status/949969161287028736 I think I may have accidentally created a new project for myself for 2018. I thought in response to the tweet above, I might get one or two suggestions back. I was kind of expecting Nicola Osborne would have more than that, but otherwise … Continue reading Things I am going to try in 2018: Listening to new things

Research SPLOTs?

January 4, 2018June 20, 2018 · Leave a comment ·

https://twitter.com/projectsoothe/status/948644779352576000 On reading the above, it occurs to me that perhaps we should be rolling SPLOTs into our toolsets for research too. I can see how well the image, video and writing ones could fit with a number of citizen science / crowd sourced research … Continue reading Research SPLOTs?

Some things that happened in 2017

January 1, 2018January 3, 2018 · 1 Comment ·

Each year whips by at a cracking pace. I’ve managed to make a relatively sustained effort on blogging this year and, as the year has progressed, I’ve found myself referring back to things I wrote earlier or sending links on to colleagues and friends. So, … Continue reading Some things that happened in 2017

Staying where I am for a bit

December 24, 2017 · Leave a comment ·

I am discombobulated. For the first time in 7 years I am staying in Scotland for January. I’m relaxing in bed, cat gently snoring, listening to rain pelting the window and wind rattling the slates. Considering getting up and lighting the stove to get the … Continue reading Staying where I am for a bit

Irritable seasons greetings

December 18, 2017December 19, 2017 · Leave a comment ·

I read and think a lot about managing my digital identity, becoming mistress of my own digital archive, curating my own digital footprint, understanding the algorithms that act upon me etc. This time of year, and the accompanying spasms of irritation as the post arrives, … Continue reading Irritable seasons greetings

My repertoire needs improvement

December 18, 2017December 21, 2017 · Leave a comment ·

https://twitter.com/josiefraser/status/939445008675024896 This tweet from Josie Fraser (and the blog post behind it – which is very worth reading) reminded me that in addition to a shit conference presentation on maintenance (it’s a thing) and no sexy conference presentation at all on doing administration I also … Continue reading My repertoire needs improvement

Passivity

December 2, 2017February 1, 2018 · 1 Comment ·

I’m feeling a bit ranty this morning. Crazy Scottish lady is rising a little close to the surface. I’ve been reading articles (old and new) and watching videos (old and new) this week which are replaying familiar EdTech tropes and I’m sick of it. I’m … Continue reading Passivity

After the Wiki rush

November 26, 2017December 3, 2017 · 1 Comment ·

Last Friday I led a Lost Literary Edinburgh Wikipedia editathon as part of the Being Human Festival. It focused on forgotten women authors that have been surfaced again through the enormous text mining activity that underpins the LitLong project. “…might there be other voices to … Continue reading After the Wiki rush

Open for all

Another visit to my beloved Mansfield Traquair Centre this evening. 17 years on and it still takes my breath away. To have the responsibility and the stewardship of a place like this a privilege. This evening was the Friends AGM. Formal business was blessedly succinct. … Continue reading Open for all
