Children are going to paste everything they write, maybe not everything, into an interface we are developing. This includes their work in all of their subjects and anything else they write along the way.  We are collecting samples of their informal language as well as their best school stuff.]]><![CDATA[Park Lane]]>Fri, 11 Feb 2022 23:00:00 GMThttps://www.versatile.pub/conye-blog/park-landePicture
Great meeting in Park Lane Cafe, Brno, with Sarah and Alan at which James introduced Vit.  We tossed around lots of ideas.  Vit has great ideas about getting samples of kids language that they have already uploaded to various platforms.
