Travel and Speaking
Nope. No travel, unless you count heading up to Manhattan Beach or down to Redondo Beach. And no speaking unless you count a webinar.
Next week: Hermosa Beach, then the UK

Other Projects
On Tuesday, I participated in a webinar – “Better Learning Analytics: Lessons from EdX, Hack Education, Mozilla + P2PU” with Justin Reich, Vanessa Gennarelli, and Andrew Sliwinski.
An article I wrote for Knowledge Quest on the ed-tech industry and the future of reading is headed to print.
Hybrid Pedagogy reposted my story “On Silence.”
I’ve been posting more stuff to my Tumblr – a reminder that I really need to set up a “reclaim” solution there.
I updated my CV and my websites with all that happened work-wise in August.
I signed up for Beacon, which I’m going to use to crowdfund my education writing. More details soon.
Reading
I spent most of the week working on my upcoming keynote for ALT-C. As such, I re-read Frankenstein. I started (but didn’t finish) Bruno Latour’s Aramis or the Love of Technology and We Have Never Been Modern.
I also read Lois Lowry’s Messenger.
