 Hello, everybody. Welcome to our art fair interviews for art pieces. We did it with them open. I'm here with Nick and Anika from St. Norver College, talking about there and Taylor as well. Reclaim hosting Taylor to talk through our art pieces that we did on the morning of day two at Reclaim Open. We had a big space with folks submitting their own art pieces to talk through different projects they're working on and Anika and Nick were talking about Domain's Camp at St. Norver. So if you all just want to take a minute and explain what you all did for Reclaim Open for the Domain's Camp and then we can kind of get into some more from there. Yeah, I don't know if Nick, if you want to go first sort of how you presented it there and then I can go into a little bit more detail. Sure. So Anika is really the brains behind the operation and the artist behind the operation and I was just the person who presented it. But we had an easel with a nice poster that Anika created and some postcards and some stickers and a trail guide that is the only thing that I actually created. But the art was all created by Anika and it's amazing. And the intention of our art piece was to get people to sign up to be camp counselors for their own Domain's Camps so we can maybe run concurrent Domain's Camps with other schools. So I'll let you take a bit from there, Anika, how you decided that you wanted to build out that artwork. Yeah, I don't know. I think it started, I don't know, who first suggested it, but when we were talking me, Chrissy, Taylor and Pilots, I think we thought of it more of like a hike and like that journey of learning, you know, your online presence going all the way to building a website yourself and sort of making it more fun. And then Molly and I, once we had the different modules of the curriculum, we just went and made puns and different titles for each stop. And so that sort of inspired then what's actually on the map of going from like the trailhead to, you know, a bridge or a waterfall, just to sort of make people more engaged because there's a lot of stuff out there as far as conferences and we didn't want it to be boring. We wanted to be very visual. And then we'd be able to share these assets with others that also want to do this themselves. I do have a digital copy of the poster. Should I share my screen? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. And you know, maybe even before, well, while you're doing that, maybe, what is Domain's Camp? What are we even talking about? Oh, that's true. That's true. So Domain's Camp is sort of a curriculum that we partnered with Reclaim to help anybody, you know, get into the world of website building. And it's also beneficial for those that have built it in the past. It starts sort of with, you know, what is the web? What is my digital presence? Which is honestly great to review at any point in your digital lifetime, I guess. And then going from there to planning a website and sort of more the hands-on sketching and all that kind of stuff before we actually dive into the technology of installing WordPress, going through WordPress, and then actually being able to build a site. So then by the end of the camp, you're taking a site with you and you have something that you can bring with you wherever you want. Awesome. All right. So should I just present my screen? I got you, Annika. Oh, you got me. Yeah. I do have the full poster up too, though. Oh, okay, cool. If you share your screen, we can pull that in later as well, Annika. Okay. But yes, this is the postcard sort of template that we used. We first used the postcard and we put it in all of our faculty mailboxes. It's sort of like a, oh, come to Domain's Camp and then like a little postage was the QR code that had the information on it. And then we brought it to reclaim as far as like, oh, join our camp counselor session. And we put little chocolates on so that they can make s'mores with us. But we didn't bring any chocolate to Domain's Camp. And then so we have all of our resources available at Domain's Camp that night at Domain's slash resources. So these are great ways that that other camp counselors could make their own Domain's Camp at their own institutions. And ideally we'll be able to do something concurrently with other institutions at some point. That's what our objective is, I think for this upcoming January is to have a multiple institution Domain's Camp. But yeah, all this is available right here. I think we mentioned earlier, Taylor designed the curriculum. So, and I think there was some consultation with his team and with us, but Yeah, the EdTech team. So a lot of us at Reclaim were involved with that. I would recommend taking a look at this website. There's a lot of really awesome resources there and trying to think where the actual curriculum is. I think it's content. It's the content. Yeah, it's content. So this is all, this is what the Reclaim team designed for us. There's an awesome fire favicon up there. So, or whatever the standard term is now, I don't actually know. Is it still favicon? I call it a favicon. I don't know how to pronounce this. That's really cool. So what the like, is the website based in WordPress and like, how did you build out this page too? That's really cool to look at. So, yeah, the website itself is WordPress. And then this is actually a subdirectory in Doxify that Taylor set up on the main site. And then I moved to the subdirectory. So they are technically two different sites. The cool thing with this site is you can get it from GitHub and download it. So the idea being it would be really easy for folks to set up their own, do what Anika did here, right? So you could have a WordPress site for your own domains camp or whatever. And then you can just drop this content in wherever you want basically. You don't have to completely reauthor it. Or you can edit it to your liking too. Yeah, that's super cool. And I like how the main domains camp is like the wrapper of WordPress. But you can switch around between the different applications. That's super cool. We're a big fan of WordPress as a wrap around here. Absolutely. Cool. So I kind of am curious, if you have any other things say about the art fair, that's cool. I won't get in your way. But I also have some other follow-up questions about domains camp. So I don't know if you wanted to, if there's anything else you wanted to mention there. This is the art you guys all designed and put together. I just want to note that the other art installations were really, really awesome as well. Especially the one that had the old living room set up in it. I thought that was pretty awesome. I may know the people who put that one together. But they're all really, really cool. And the one that led up into the digital literacy or the digital storytelling was pretty hilarious with Jim Groom. So people should definitely watch that presentation, the digital storytelling presentation. Because it was hilarious. So that's really all I wanted to say about that. We will have a session on the 90s living room. So that recording, just like this one. So I don't actually know what order they're all airing in. But yeah, that may have already happened or will happen. Check it out. Check it out if it has or hasn't happened yet. And so as far as domains camp itself goes, you all ran a version of this already one time, right? Yes. We ran it this past January with about eight or nine participants. Some faculty, some staff, and then one student. So that went pretty well and we got some good feedback. We ended up, the thought is to have this as like a two day camp. But because we had a smaller group, we did fit it all into one. Probably wouldn't do that again. But yeah, it was pretty good. We got some good feedback from that to take it moving forward. So we plan on having a camp counselor session to whoever's interested in running this and the interest form is on our website. On that domains camp website, it's one of the items at the top. So we can sort of talk more about this sort of what you'll need, the preparation going into it. And then this coming January, we're tentatively looking as for when we would want to do it again. So then other schools, if they would want to do it during that same timeframe, that would be the thought. So what would, and it's maybe a little early. So I get it. But what would you all think running it alongside of the schools looks like? I mean, is it just truly running at the same time? Is there cross institutional collaboration? What are you all hoping to see there? I think that there's a lot to be gained from a lot like asynchronous schools running these things by themselves, the like the meat and potatoes of the curriculum by themselves. With some show off like show offs at the end, you know, we people can show off what they created during the two or one day domains camp. But then also to have something like a keynote or a few keynotes where we would all come together, synchronously watch those together and then maybe talk about that and how what we thought about the keynote as a larger group. But the beautiful thing about this camp counselor session that we want to that we're going to have in August is that we can determine what we want the domains camp to look like across institutions and all these really crazy smart people at these other colleges can influence what we do. Awesome, cool. So, yeah, I mean, that's really exciting. I'm really curious to kind of see how this goes. And, you know, I would say to, you know, feel free to I'm going to pose this in both directions, I guess. I know Annika and Nick are in our Discord, our Reclaim Hosting Discord community too. So, you know, if you all want to promote things in there as far as hey, this is happening, feel free to use that space. It's what it's for. But also I'm going to just throw out to if folks watching this or have questions, you know, put them in the Discord so we can use that space collaboratively, I think it makes sense. And then of course, once the August meetup happens, you all may have different places where you're coordinating or whatever, and that's cool. But or you can use that space too. But I'm very excited. You know, I have having come from St. Orbert before I worked at Reclaim, I've seen St. Orbert do this kind of cross institutional, you can call it faculty development, but usually it's not just faculty. These kind of things before and it is always really enriching to the experience and rewarding, I think, as both a participant and the person, people running it, right? You can learn from other people running it, which is great. But I've heard from faculty and staff and students who participated like, Hey, it was really awesome to see folks from these other schools participating. And that's taken multiple forms, right? In the past over Twitter, I don't know, maybe it's not Twitter anymore, I don't know. It could be Twitter, it could be a forum, it could be email, right? But I do think that is, I think this is a great idea to try to get multiple schools on board here. So I really applaud the work you all are putting in here. Yeah, and I love the camping theme to it because it's, I lost my train of thought, my goodness. I love that theme because it's kind of like you can, with camping or anything like that, you just have so many other tools like in your arsenal or your backpack. So learning the different options you could have, like even through the domain is like super cool, kind of building out your hiking toolkit and stuff like that. So that's super cool. So, and it's also really cool that you're looking forward to what it will be, because that's reclaim open theme, where we are, where we're going, where we were sort of thing. So I like to see that it's continuing and still being built out as, and you can see like how the progress looks like in the future, which is super cool. Another question I'm curious about too with the actual, you know, the content of it, sort of, or how you all, how that first one went, you know, obviously we at Reclaim were involved in writing some of that. So I'm familiar with what some of that is, but I am kind of curious about like, you know, how did teaching that go? I'm sure there are parts that were people had were maybe more interested in than others potentially, or maybe had harder time with it, just kind of how this goes, right? Because a lot of it is a lot of the modules are sort of front loading some concepts. And then some of the modules are, okay, now go do a WordPress, like, which is obviously very different than talking about digital identity, right, as a concept. So I'm kind of curious if you have any other thoughts to share about like, what was like, actually doing that over that day? I think the one of the most helpful things, the curriculum was super helpful. But the accommodating trail guide was pretty, I think, probably the most helpful thing for the people who attended so they could have that, you know, kind of a checklist, but more of an interactive checklist to go off of. We printed off merit badge stickers, which I think we're pretty fun. Did you make sashes? So not, we're not that cool, unfortunately, but we did have a place for them to put their merit badges right next to all the wood, I guess, is that circle where they can place their merit badges. So as they as the people did the tasks, we walked around with merit badges and, and I don't know how many of them stuck them on their trail guides, but having this was, I think, really helpful. And we went through basically top down the curriculum in this, in this trial guide. So it wasn't too much of a leap, I don't think, for people to be like, Oh, cool, now I'm going to like make a website. Awesome. We also prompted people with, we told people to come with ideas and with a task that they wanted to have before they, before they got to the domains camp. So it wasn't like, what could I do? They had, they had enough time, I think beforehand to think about what they wanted to do. Cool. Yeah, the guide was a huge help. We attended a training towards the end of December that had something similar to this. And I think we all, everyone on our team, like really liked that idea of like going back to paper and pencil, and having a specific spot to, you know, write notes, because I don't always think of bringing paper and pencil to a conference because I don't know, I just, that's not the first thing that comes to my mind. And then having, being able to have somewhere where you can write down. And then of course they get tech bar pens. So it all works out. Well, and I think there's something to, something like this trail guide that clearly like you're taking the content and making it very specifically designed for how it was going to be delivered. And then having all these niceties, right, like the merit badges, the spot to write notes, that makes a lot of difference in the delivery, I think, in terms of what it feels like for your participants, right? It's like, someone really thought this through, and this is like, not just, I showed up and I'm going to be talked at for eight hours, right? Like this is a intentionally designed experience that, that front to back, right? So I think that can even do a lot to set the mood, maybe for the day, and then maintain that throughout the day. It's, it's really well done. And I, you know, it'd be cool to see kind of how this evolves to like, I don't know, I love the camping metaphor. And I can even see like, like, if you're all familiar with the idea of like, leave no trace camping, like, maybe, maybe we can tie that in with digital identity. And that's sort of like someone who's not out there at all. And what does that mean? And maybe you, I don't know, maybe that's maybe that has a positive negative connotation. Leave no trace camping is, is a good thing. And leave no trace on the internet is, but maybe not what you want. So I don't know, there's, I, I think, I think the, the theme is compelling. And I love how you all turned it into this tangible resource. Yeah, I think the cool thing about camping theme is a camp was always an escape for, for me growing up, you know, I was a Boy Scout, I think Taylor, you were Boy Scout too. And people, I'm sure everyone else has been to a summer camp, but that was always an escape from reality, essentially. And this is an escape. So you can figure out how to do something that you have always wanted to do, but I've never like, get like a lot of the time for. And it's just a time away to do it. It's kind of like going to college, you know, you are away from, probably away if you were going to residential college, you're away from your, your previous reality. And now you're just there to focus on academics and other like extracurricular things. And I think that that is, that escape, allowing yourself to, to escape from your previous reality is something that can be really helpful. So yeah, time to it. Yeah, it's cool. Awesome. I was just looking through the stickers for the merit badges. I have to share those too. That was really cool to see what they, they all look like. You can see they're like the, get that added to the stream. But the, these are all super cool. Yeah. A big shout out to our instructional designer, Molly Luccarelli too. She was instrumental in creating the theme or in creating the puns. So awesome. That's so cool. Awesome. Chief pun officer. Yeah. Chief pun officer, Molly Luccarelli. She's sitting right next to me and she's really happy that she's the chief pun officer. Oh, that's awesome. Well, cool. Well, thank you guys for jumping in and explaining a bit more about Domain's Camp. And we'll make sure to post the resources in the Discord chat throughout this too. So if anybody's interested, definitely fill out that interest form on the website. And we'll keep it going with some more awesome stuff. Any final thoughts for either of you or anybody? I will put, I'll put the like posters that we had at Reclaim. I'll link that on the website too. So be able to take a look at that. And that website again was what? Domain'sCamp.Night.domains. Cool. And anyone who didn't physically go to Domain'sCamp this last year should absolutely go to Domain'sCamp next year whenever it happens again. I don't know when the next time it'll happen, but next time it happens, go because it was awesome. Awesome. Well, cool. Well, thank you both and let's keep the conversation going for Reclaim open online. Reclaim open. Cut it out. Cut that part. Anyone who didn't go to Reclaim open, my mind was on Domain'sCamp. Anyone who didn't go to Reclaim open this last year should go the next time it's happening. Oh, guys. No, okay. Cool.
