Being Educators: Mozilla and Me
There’s ongoing discussion about Mozilla’s role as a ‘teacher’ and how it fits alongside that of “inventor”. In a recent blog post, Mark Surman wanted to find out whether “Mozilla as teacher” resonates and what other terms might be appropriate.

Herding Passionate Cats: The Role of Facilitator in a Peer Learning Process

Deschooling Society Book Group – Chapter One reflections
Over at P2PU (the non-Webcraft bit) I’m participating in a book group on Ivan Illych’s Deschooling Society. I’ve been meaning to read this and other Illych texts for years, ever since I met Dougald, and first heard him speak at Future Sonic 2008. Anyway, I’ve posted my reflections to the first chapter within the group […]

School of Webcraft talk at Hackerspace Adelaide – Feb 9th
My partner and I have been located in Australia and New Zealand for the last month or so, both trying to keep up with work while we catch up with Antipodean family and friends. In between fighting the never-ending battles against our email inboxes and waking up at odd hours to join in community calls, […]
