Well, went to the Kaleidoscope conference in Cambridge with Gill on Friday. It was quite good, although I think the attendance was less this year. I was mainly in the maths/technology stream - well I didn't go anywhere else because the rest of the papers didn't interest me in the slightest.
But the papers were pretty good and interested ... and Patricia George was there, and it was good listening to what she has found and done, as I listened to her the first time when I was in Lancaster, and it is good to see how her research has progressed and how her ideas has been firmed up. So, that was encouraging.
There were still a couple of papers on teaching maths to trainee teachers, which I've always found a bit boring - not that the papers are boring but the topic doesn't interest me as much.
I think in all, whilst it wasn't a terribly important academic conference, I think in terms of meeting people and interacting it has been good. I met Zsolt again and yet again we've promised to write something together!!
Also, Gill and I were able to boast about our great postgraduate conditions at the OU :D. Also, how our supervisors support us as well ...
