This week I’ve been:

Doing some (early) thinking about the link between smartphone apps and web literacy.
Working out expenses and reimbursements. <yawn>
Booking travel for the #TeachTheWeb team huddle in London next week.
Thinking and writing about metrics and learning taxonomies. I’ve written more on this but I’m not ready to share it just yet.
Responding to a request for where to start with digital literacies (see blog post).
Moderating and contributing to a NWP Educator Innovator webinar on web literacy.
Trying out Slack with my Mozilla colleagues.
Discussing a couple of changes I’ve proposed to the Web Literacy Map with various people.
Hosting this week’s #TeachTheWeb community call.
Finishing the first draft of the upcoming Webmaker whitepaper. Karen Smith helped a lot with this, so I’m very grateful. It’ll be available for public consumption soon, probably via the Webmaker list.
Hanging out ‘Trellbeering’ with the #TeachTheWeb team. It’s a term we’ve invented for an end of the week virtual hangout where we triage Trello tickets while drinking alcohol.
Responding to invitations to speak at various events. I’m trying to say ‘no’ more and prioritise my time.
Talking with Cassie McDaniel, Brett Gaylor and Atul Varma about more fully integrating the Web Literacy Map and webmaker.org.
Reviewing a book (hopefully) soon to be published by MIT Press.
Discussing potential UK-related Open Badges stuff with Tim Riches.

Next week I’ll be in London for the first part of the week before returning home to do some writing.
