reflections on being lost and found
Yesterday I facilitated a LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) workshop at the 2019 ALT Winter Conference. This was the second time I had a go running this very hands on, practical workshop virtually. Last year I used the MashMe system which allowed all participants to be on video at all times but proved tricky holding down... Continue Reading →
This being my last post in my week long challenge, brevity is the name of the game - it's Friday evening and I'm totally out of juice. My thinking spaces across the week included the train, the library (with views of the sea) and the beach; and the sun shone throughout which helps no end. Spaces... Continue Reading →
Daily reminders in the form of emails from the University of Edinburgh inform me of vast numbers of presentations, training workshops, seminars, support opportunities and social events. Mostly I let them flow past me, quickly scanning to determine the relevance, the majority ending up deleted, but occasionally I get a tinge of FOMO. It would... Continue Reading →
Having moved jobs since the fog descended, both role and institution (an exciting change of circumstances), I am now in a much calmer mental place. In addition, after a couple of really productive supervisor meetings I have stopped constantly worrying that I am 'behind' and am slowly navigating towards a point on the very distant...

My good Twitter friend and fellow #mscde colleague Sandra sent me this lovely message back in January. I side stepped the issue by replying with a brief message back to say I was adding the advice chart to my (never ending) reading list. Sandra is also inspirational in her regular posts about her journey on... Continue Reading →
I've been seriously neglecting my PhD posts so I'm going to do a speed catch up over the week, starting off with the official start date: 1st October 2018, Induction Day. As I'm an unofficially distance student it was great to get to Edinburgh for this but I wondered how much would be relevant to... Continue Reading →
OER was the one conference over the years that was always on my 'must go' list but I never felt that I had a legitimate reason. I wasn't formally involved in open education, either for research or teaching and learning. Yet, by default, I am an open practitioner, I instinctively share and ensure that as... Continue Reading →
Looking ahead to #OER19 in Galway and browsing the list of great sessions the one I knew for sure that I would be attending was Amaz-Zine: How to create a DIY OER Zine with Amy Burvall and Bryan Mathers as I have long been a fan of both of these creative geniuses. I spotted Amy’s... Continue Reading →
Good grief if I don't press the Publish button now it is going to be 2020, I've already rewritten this about three times and it's not as if it is a work of literary genius. Looking back to this time last year I was reticent about doing a 2017 round up as it had been... Continue Reading →
For the last two weeks I have been curating the @femedtech account on Twitter, which has pretty much been a blast. These are just a few of my thoughts before I hand the baton over to Joyce (@catspyjamas) across the globe in Australia. On the first day I had no idea where to begin, the... Continue Reading →
