Bridge over railway

Interesting, yesterday my phone was not to hand in my left pocket but jammed in my right stuck on my selfie stick. Surprised at how often my hand twitched to look at a map, the time or to take a snap. Often reason was not strong enough to extract from the right pocket.

“HAVE A GO WITH THIS! Paint me a picture with this drawing app I'm working on. You can load a pic to "trace" the outline, and if you tap the comma or full stop keys, the canvas "slides"... Oh, and the plus and minus keys make the lines change weight. https://t.co/JqLVx5xlDl”

easier with a mouse than mobile for me.

“#clmooc Feldgang - picture collage, from a woods walk, of rocks and boulders, all slightly turned over: bugs, worms, strange roots, holes, eggs … all sorts of weird cool stuff. How about you? What will you find?”

I am finding the #clmooc Feldgang fascinating, feels like my life is a Feldgang.
I am playing with the flickrAPI… 

A WIP, couple of examples:

Liked IndieWeb and Webmentions | CSS-Tricks (CSS-Tricks)
The IndieWeb is a thing! They've got a conference coming up and everything. The New Yorker is even writing about it

Liked: IndieWeb and Webmentions | CSS-Tricks

I guess that’s what’s so cool about all this IndieWeb stuff. Like a Progressive Web App, every step you take towards it is useful. The more people that do it, the better it gets for everyone, but it’s useful anyway.

I thought that was rather well put. Every so often, I wonder if my rather casual effort is worth it. The idea that ‘every little counts’ is welcome.

Carol Dweck: where growth mindset went wrong | Tes News

There is an interesting twitter thread started by the tes author Jon Severs.

Somewhat worrying that this is not only being introduced to schools but that a wee industry is being built up before implementation is properly understood.

“Teachers have to ask, what exactly is the evidence suggesting?” she explains. “They have to realise it takes deep thought and deep experimentation on their part in the classroom to see how best the concept can be implemented there.

Not something that can be done after a few sessions of in-service then?
