thanks, Karen. I've been working on sets of 5 "works" after hearing a colleague talk about her MFA program.

That might be a fun writing prompt for a WP-what is our fantasy artistic medium? Photography like Kim? Legos? 
WendyE40
@
yuengling like the oldest beer in the US?
kfasimpaur

kfasimpaur

WendyE40

EatcherVeggies
@
we did manage hot glue guns this year w/o being used as weapons 
kfasimpaur

nice

Esp with older students, if we want them to experiment in unusual ways, have to remove the grading pressure.

A bag of weird stuff has created really great stories and memories for my Seniors-just put a Pokemon card in the bag and see what stories come out.
kfasimpaur
@
Even outside of school, kids and adults often want more guidelines than might be necessary...it's our society I think
The arts/crafts framework helps with this I think
From the hangout: "also, check out becoming3lectric.com"

kfasimpaur
@
everything is postcard fodder for me
wentale
@
I can join for a short time if that's ok
kfasimpaur
@
That would be great
EatcherVeggies
@
ha!
postcards are my new love and hobby
kfasimpaur
@
love it
This week, I'm making a couple new remix collages celebrating some of my connections
Karon, are you on twitter?
WendyE40
@
idea of living text (living any work) is important. I think students often think of writing and other work as static, not living and changing.
Karon
K
@
Karen, No I am not on Twitter. Sorry. Long story. I was a lurker on the twitter account.
kfasimpaur
@
I didn't think so, but didn't want to miss you there 
Comment from other chat: "i think you close yourself off if you choose not to participate"
Reactions?
Karon
K
@
My non-participation in Twitter or FB have personal reasons. I respect others' decisions.
EatcherVeggies
@
what do you mean by participtae?
kfasimpaur
@
I took as as meaning connecting online, being active online
My response was that I dream of being able to be permanently disconnected sometimes.
Karon, I completely get that. I love Twitter, but regret being on FB.
EatcherVeggies
@
in this context, it would be tough without online connection. In life, I love days off the grid.
kfasimpaur
@
I evaluate largely on the joy to grief ratio.
clmooc is almost pure joy to me; other online experiences not always so much.
EatcherVeggies
@
me too
this year in clmooc has felt much more generous
less focus on self and more on others
kfasimpaur
@
I think so too.
Karon
K
@
That is my choice and I hope kids will see that when they "have to check" the phones, it is a choice.
EatcherVeggies
@
wendy T!
Karon
K
@
How many Karen's/Karon's?
kfasimpaur
@
at least 3!
unusual...
WendyE40
@
I think with any virtual or "real" space each person has to decide about the value of it for him or herself. There are only so many places one can be.

WendyE40
@
I rarely have other wendys around
EatcherVeggies
@
I love paper, pens, notebooks
kfasimpaur
@
I've accumulated a whole bunch of new paper and related implements w/the postcard thing
EatcherVeggies

(coyotes are going crazy here right now...glad I'm muted 
EatcherVeggies

haha!
I still think about clmooc things from three years ago. It has a lasting impact.
WendyE40
@
we don't take time to be silent at school, in groups. it often feels uncomfortable, but it's so important. Quaker Meeting has helped me get used to being in silence and in community, but it's not the norm for most.
Karon
K
@
Going back to the different spaces that we were talking about-I am visualizing that the community members have multiple houses or some of us have only one. I appreciate when someone comes from the other neighborhoods.
WendyE40
@
Karon, some folks are homebodies, some are travelers. Not better, just different.
EatcherVeggies
@
me too
Karon
K
@
yep. I love looking at the slide shows from vacation!
kfasimpaur
@
thinking about connecting through silence
Karon
K
@
We are-every time I see a llama, I actually think of you Karen! We are connected.
EatcherVeggies
@
wendy T is a great multitasker~
kfasimpaur
@
I love that! And your postcard. So much.
Karon
K
@
Good luck Wendy! I have to get Marley to dance and fun the video. It will be done.
EatcherVeggies
@
yes!
Karon
K
@
Scott's cutting reminds me of the make last summer with the skirt and take a picture through the cut-out.
EatcherVeggies
@
no wrong way to dance for team awkward
kfasimpaur
@
yes, i loved those cut-outs.
Karon
K
@
whose make was that?
kfasimpaur
@
Not sure. maybe Wendy E? Here are somehttps://plus.google.com/u/0...
We've cut out all kinds of things! 
Karon
K
@
I forgot the ranger one.
WendyE40
@
Last year I did a cut out card make last summerhttps://thoughtsfromschool.... and have done cut out with books and black out poetry
kfasimpaur
@
Ah, yes, I was remembering that one
Karon
K
@
YES! It was you Wendy! Thanks!
This was fun. Thanks for the chat room Karen F.
wentale
@
Yes Wendy E's cut out and black poetry has been an inspiration since last year
WendyE40
@
I'm flattered you remembered it. I started doing cutouts with blackout poetry so that I could get to words farther down in other pages. I put that link in earlier.
thanks, wendy t
kfasimpaur
