Community:
I feel like our learning community is just beginning to hit its stride. While it's always good to have a break after several months of intense work, it would be nice to be able to continue this momentum (as a community) into subsequent weeks and months. Similar to a Design Studio concept (e.g., Schon), what kinds of creative artifacts could we develop if we were to sustain this community? [or would we drive each other crazy?]
Identity:
Identity is dynamic, ... in flux, and mine was certainly impacted by the experiences in this course. While I occasionally blog and tweet, the class got pushed my thinking more intently about identity as its reflected on the web. How comfortable am I with sharing work I do for academic credit with anyone out there on the open Inter-webs? How does that corresponding level of comfort facilitate or impede my willingness to share? How do my perceptions of the expectations held by other readers/viewers influence the direction, scope and spirit of what I share? In part, I believe the fluidity of the web should allow for a place where "rough draft" thinking can take place -- e.g., get it out there and get some feedback from people and then use the community feedback to refine and iterate. But this is likely the ideal side of my identity.
Design:
How can we not be inspired by having classes in the new Library Commons or Krause Innovation Studio?
