    Identity At Camp Magic MacGuffin

    by
    Getting in the spirit of camp has not been hard. I’ve loved watching my fellow campers get into the Daily Creates and other various assignments. One problem I have run into is that of identity. I have so many blogs, social media sites, and spaces that are mine that it is hard to find a […]

    Makers? How can making be a class?

    by
    I’m still not sure if it’s a great class, but it’s certainly a standout hour of my day. Here’s today’s class compressed into about 2 minutes.
