Amplifying signals of value in digital learning
Ground Zero Cafe: the most dangerous eatery in the world? I like this story, even if the truth is opaque. It illuminates something about how easy it is to accept the face value interpretation of observations. In the central courtyard of the Pentagon there was a hotdog stand. It was a very popular eating spot. … Continue reading Nuking hotdogs in the Pentagon – a story of incomplete data.
I don’t think ‘the new normal’ is a helpful turn of phrase. An important feature of normality is that we know what to do when confronted with it. We do normal things. We do them with a casual confidence that we know what is going to happen as a result. I may be alone in … Continue reading Anything but normal
I am trying to avoid speculation about “what happens next?” and “how we adjust to the new normal”.

Down that well I am uncertain and lacking confidence in a clear way forward. Hence the silence. I have been unsure of what … Continue reading What is this blog for?
This is a thinking out loud piece from my experience of the last few weeks. Like most, I have found that it is hard to know what to think yet some thoughts have emerged and lingered long enough to give some form of voice to. So, this is not a white paper or serious position. … Continue reading What comes next? Possible signals of future value
Some notes from an open drop in session of Corona Therapy.
This is a brief summary of our second gathering for Corona Therapy. The format was similar to last week: an open session, passing around the group to share how we are feeling, coping, struggling and crucially, what is working (or working for now, at least). The themes are from my recollection and scratchy notes – … Continue reading Corona Therapy Session #2
