Other Projects
- I submitted a copy of my talk at ISTE, “Is It Time to Give Up on Computers,” to Gary Stager for a collection he’s publishing.

- It was time, once again, for my monthly backups, website updates, and invoicing.
- I updated the spreadsheet on ed-tech funding. I wrote a blog post (see above) but I feel like my analysis was totally off, in part because of three major rounds of funding this week that really skewed what I could say about September’s investment (and more generally about trends in ed-tech investing). Oh well.
- I worked on my ICDE keynote.
