Aaron Davis (Read Write Collect)In a speech about a new book The Shepherd’s Hut, Tim Winton says that it is men who need to step up and liberate boys from the culture of toxic masculinity that has come to mark Australian society. In the absence of explicit, widely-shared and enriching rites of passage, young men in particular ar...
Thanks for sharing this Aaron, I found it to be a carefully thought out piece. The idea of Art being a toy rather than a tool was a great hook. Looking forward to reading one of his books now.

Warming up the mic for 8pm uk tonight I’ll be talking to @sfm36 Sarah Clark on Radio #EDUtalk: listen about Using technology when teaching science. Should be a fascinating show.

Greg McVerry (jgregorymcverry.com)@fourtonfish Here is a pixelated gif poem I wrote using @glitch.

Hi Greg,
I’ve been thinking about your glitch about css for a while and took a mo yesterday to google duckduckgo and do this: CSS Gradient animation.
Over a decade ago, a few Scottish educators got together in a pub for a meetup. This spawned something that is still going to this day: the TeachMeet. I’ve been to a fair few in my time and, particularly in the early days, found them the perfect mix of camaraderie and professional learning.
Doug quotes How to Host or Attend a “Tiny” Conference
eight pointers for running a successful ‘Tiny Conf’:
- Keep it ‘tiny’
- Make it application and invite-only
I think I agree totally about the value of small. Not so sure about invite-only might miss some serendipity…
There have only been a few TeachMeets in scotland recently, I wonder if it is worth keeping TeachMeet.scot going?
“Hey #PressEd people. We're aiming to make the next PressEd twitter conferenxe as equitable as possible. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions. RTs gratefully appreciated”
I enjoyed PressED, #pressedconf18, last time, looking forward to seeing the rerun with extra equitably.

Have let David know about a couple of problems we are having. This post being an example!
I wonder if the problem is part of the solution? As I slowly explore the IndieWeb ideas and tools I find that quite a few don’t do exactly what I want. So I slow down. Think. Tweak. Often delete a draft.
For example, I am starting to understand Indigenous, I’ve Micropub posts set to be drafts. I don’t like the way my theme presents these posts. I remove the auto generated excerpt, tweak the title and perhaps the quote. This helps me think the post through. It becomes a little less knee-jerk.
I’ve a long way to go. I get distracted, meander, I click and like, but I think the IndieWeb is making me a happier blogger.
