The ‘un-book book’
I’ve written four books. I loved the experience and I loved the feedback both during the writing and publication processes.
At an event back in March I sat next to the wonderful Teresa MacKinnon and we used the opportunity to catch-up and, well, mess around a bit. During this we came up with an idea for the ‘un-book book’, kind of like the ‘un-conference conference’. Here were our ideas for un-learning chapters in the un-book book:

5/ ‘unbridled [edtech] passion’
6/ ‘my digital tattoo’

7/ ‘learning with fees’ @SteveWheeler
8/ ‘If you’re not learning, you’re not earning…’ @ActivateLearn
9/ ‘living in a classroom with no ipad’
10/ ‘humble just doesn’t suit you’
11/ ‘honey I digitised the kids’
What do you think? Any ideas on what we should do with this? Any ideas on other un-chapter chapters?
Updated: Some more ideas coming through from reigniting the idea …
