It is a testament to the goodness all around us that so many people have shared so freely and invested so much for the purpose of learning and playing together.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of my personal participation, I wasn&#8217;t able to participate in as many makes as I wanted to [insert personal excuses here], but I know I will continue making, writing, and connecting with the CLMOOC community far into the future. Here are a few things I did during this round of CLMOOC that I feel good about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/clmoocmb.educatorinnovator.org\/2014\/\">CLMOOC Make Bank<\/a> (new version) &#8211; In my &#8220;facilitator&#8221; role for CLMOOC, I helped set up and foster a new make bank. Over 7 weeks, the community has added over 60 new makes and 80 new examples and tutorials to this bank. I know that many will continue to use and add to this in the future, and I think this is a huge success.<\/li>\n<li>Book art (that I made)<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/karenandbrademerson\/14624590546\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5531\/14624590546_a870ce579d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"314\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.k12opened.com\/blog\/tag\/light-painting\">Light painting<\/a> &#8211; I&#8217;d been wanting to play with light painting and long exposure photography for a while and finally did that in week 5.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/karenandbrademerson\/14516731758\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2904\/14516731758_f23f0d4d0e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A 10-shoe memoir (I struggle with these extremely short form memoirs.

We pondered questions such as can a recipe be a story &#8212; not just inspire or remind of us\u00a0 of a story, but actually tell one? Our conversation culminated in a hangout about this, which was one of the highlights of this year&#8217;s CLMOOC for me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am always a bit sad when events like CLMOOC reach their formal &#8220;end,&#8221; but I know that the friendships and the learning will continue on.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you everyone for being a part of my summer of making, playing, and connecting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the formal part of CLMOOC 2014 drawing to a close, I&#8217;m reflecting on all we&#8217;ve done together during the 7 weeks.
