So, my crazy timetable continues (I don’t want any more projects til next summer!). I’m enjoying everything I’m doing, and have even had to give up some things I love doing… very privileged for this year… who knows what next year will bring however…
Over the past few months, since the last update:
- Made it to the gym more regularly (particularly Boxercise & Circuit Training, and upped my walking across in London)
- Resigned as Social Media Strategist for Super Fun Days Out (other projects have taken over, but I will continue to provide occasional blog posts as I undertake SFDOs!)
- Worked with Matt Buck to create a new logo for Digital Fingerprint (a site into which I am keen to put more time, although regular postings continue)
- Continued sporadic postings to this blog, and ww2poster.
- Set up http://bigbible.org.uk, work which continues (with a new site under development)
- Set up and started developing content for http://wblb.wordpress.com/
- Set up and created a site for a new module: http://manipulating-media.co.uk, for which I also prepared 2 x 3 hour interactive sessions, although I think this planned chapter may fall through.
- Written reports for BODGIT and SkillsNet, both projects into which I have put large amounts of work.
- Written a review of Imperial War Museum exhibitions for “The Poster” Journal (for which I am a Review Editor), and submitted an article for Capture Journal.
- Submitted my second PGCLTHE assignment, returned with a mark of 70%.
- Undertaken a review of the iPad.
- Since August 2010, a 0.4 contract for the year for the Blended Learning Fellowship, including these workshops
- Attended LICC Social Media Bootcamp, helped organise, market & presented three sessions (including a shared keynote with @maggidawn) for #CNMAC10, plus a load of promo sessions for @bigbible… and attended #LikeMinds.
- Not seen enough of my friends though, and trying to remedy that!
