Today was the second (and final) day of Learning Design Summer Camp. I was sad to see it end.
The Camp helped me realize how much I depend on the flow of our local online community for personal development. I blog to connect with and learn from our local campus community--the Learning Camp community essentially---not necessarily the larger, national community of librarians out there. The majority of blogs that I read regularly are local--the commenters on this blog are by and large local. Realizing this was a sweet moment. How many academics can say that they receive so much inspiration from their local community?
I took away lots of new ideas, made some great new friends, and perhaps even learned how to better appreciate the power of Twitter. Tomorrow, I'll share more on a discussion we had on campus learning spaces. But for now, Robin and Shannon both summed it up the whole experience beautifully.
