During this time, I also decided to attempt using the free basic version of <a href=\"https:\/\/kumu.io\/\">Kumu<\/a> to build the network map.<\/p>\n<p>The brainstorming process made me realize that the network map I am creating today is significantly different than a network map I would have developed at the beginning of 2023. Having myself as the main node would have been the same; however, an additional node of people emerged this spring with our MALAT community.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I identified three main communities. They consist of the following people distinguished by colours on the network map:<\/p>\n<p>*Orange \u2013 Family and Friends<\/p>\n<p>*Green \u2013 MITT Work Colleagues<\/p>\n<p>*Yellow \u2013 RRU Classmates and Professors<\/p>\n<p>In addition, my digital platform and tool connections are represented in grey and loop into my main community nodes of people. These loops are vital in emphasizing the importance of technology being the connector in these relationships.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, springtime growth became evident during the looping process of my RRU classmates with such connecting\/observing in Twitter, Etsy, and LinkedIn as a few examples. This rapid growth made me ponder that my network map of today may look significantly different by summertime or even sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Did my network mapping experience resonate with anyone? Or did you have a completely different journey? I am interested in learning more!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To begin brainstorming for this network map activity, I searched Google images and learned from Dave Cormier again to generate ideas.
