If you have a minute…I was nominated & shortlisted for a very cool award – the 2011 The Learning Without Frontiers Awards for Hero Innovators & Innovations for Learning. I heard about the conference too late last year and I’m super excited that I’m able to attend – the award nomination is unexpected icing on the cake!
I’m nominated in the Higher Education category. You can vote for the finalist by sending a text message (you only need to vote once!):
SEND WOLF TO 07950 080 667 (+44 7950 080 667 NON-UK)
Voting ends on January 4th (UK time) and the awards are on the 10th in London.

If you’re close to London, there is a free family day at the conference on Sunday the 9th of January (http://www.learningwithoutfrontiers.com/sunday-service-ldn/) I’ll be running an edupunk session with a Steve Wheeler from the University of Plymouth (details here) on that day and helping Mark van ‘t Hooft and John Traxler with the Mobile Learning research strand on Tuesday, January 11th (details here)
Stay tuned to my flickr and twitter for posts from the conference!! The hashtag for the conference is #lwf11
On a side note, I’m very excited to return to the UK…I get to meet up with a few of our illustrious alumni & current students, visit my one of my favorite places on earth (Borough market) and continue my never ending quest to meet Jamie Oliver ;)
