The Free Universal Construction Kit: a matrix of nearly 80 adapter bricks that enable complete interoperability between ten* popular children’s construction toys. By allowing any piece to join to any other, the Kit encourages totally new forms of intercourse between otherwise closed systems—enabling radically hybrid constructive play, the creation of previously impossible designs, and ultimately, more creative opportunities for kids.
This looks as if it could be very useful for schools.

Facebook hires Nick Clegg as head of global affairs looks like Clegg kept hold of the long spoon.
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’

I think I agree totally about the value of small. Not so sure about invite-only might miss some serendipity…

Watched The Guardians ★★★★★ lovely slow movie about the WW1 home front in rural France. The women’s story for the most part.
