I’m starting to fall behind on these blog posts, not because I have lost interest, but because I am struggling to find the time to fit blogging in because the extra time I spend at work is gradually increasing. Though someone did recently mention that if I spent as much …
Last Sunday was my last day of ‘hols’ (a.k.a. the hol I spent revising the Future Technologies Conference (FTC18) article, instead of relaxing like a normal person) and I thought it would be prudent to go through my work email inbox. I know, loser. Shaddap. Anyway, glad I did as …
I have allegedly been on holiday this week. In actuality I have spent a week of my allocated holiday time improving my article for the FTC18 conference. This is what life is like when you work a full time job in part time hours (and currently too busy with work …
I was too ill with the snottemp virus last week to remember to mention that I’ve been granted the funding to go to the Future Technologies Conference and represent the NoObesity Apps.

Have to say that the experience of presenting at the Open Educational Resources (OER) conference was pretty kick ass…. what? That is SO a doctoral level language phrase. It was an awesome experience and privilege to be invited to present to delegates who had travelled to the conference from all …
