TL;DR My last day at Mozilla already happened, but I’m still me. I bring together disparate things to foster learning, spread openness and design for participation. I’m a creative generalist who likes to make stuff, and I’m open to exploring opportunities.…

Mozilla Webmaker Training 2014
In January of 2013 my colleague stepped through my office door way in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and said “Hey Erin, I think I found something fun we should try- lets take #Etmooc”, and so began my journey into the power of connected learning.…
Communicating, connecting and networking
So I’m still in reflection mode about my own learning so you’ll have to bear with one more clmooc reflection. And it’s not really so much a clmooc reflection as it is a reflection about 2013 so far, my “mooc” year.…
Infinite Monkeys: Part III
Well here it is: My first app.
Feedback welcome!
I ended up making a document with links to my YouTube playlist and a number of blogs so that I could add some more information to the app. Publishing the app is very easy.…

Failure and failing
So this week’s topic in our Openspokes fellowship is failure, something we are all intimately acquainted with, for who has not failed at a task, at a crucial moment, sometimes with serious consequences? Who ends up a goat and goes to hell?…
Hacking Public Domain ebooks for use in the Classroom
The assignment for Week 4 of Teach the Web has merged with the assignment for Week 5 as the whole project took much longer than expected. My idea was to put together a small Popcorn project on how knowing a little HTML and CSS can let you augment public domain ebooks to provide an enhanced learning experience. …
Open Web Projects
Every day there seems to be yet another exciting open library/book project announced on the web. Here are just a few recent ones that I think are interesting.
LibraryBox Project
LibraryBox is a project that not only lets you carry around a whole library of public domain books in your pocket, it also lets you make those books available to anyone else in the immediate vicinity via the wifi capabilities of the box. …
