Travel and Speaking Kin and I (and my mum) have been in the UK all week. We’ve been to Midhurst, Bletchley Park, Coventry, York, Newcastle, Oxford, and back to Midhurst again – almost all places I’ve never visited before. (And it’s been almost 25 years since I was in Oxford.)...

Travel & Speaking I spent a little over half the week in Hermosa Beach and the rest traveling to and from and briefly being in Atlanta for ISTE. Well, specifically I was there for EduBloggerCon (aka #HackEd14). It’s often described as the best part of the conference (thank you Steve...

Travel I didn’t leave Hermosa this week. But Kin did – he’s up in San Francisco, and I miss him fiercely. It’s rare that our schedules have us going in different directions, and I’m miserable when it does. Next week (for me): Bolton (just outside of Manchester, UK) Reading No...
