I found out about the Daily Create because I became part of an online community. As I’ve written before, in 2014 I signed up for an online experience organised by Dave Cormier called  Rhizomatic Learning – The community is the curriculum which I thought was going to be about Deleuze and Guattari, and even though it wasn’t I met a bunch of great people and am still collaborating with some of them in various ways a decade later. I was also introduced to CLMOOC and found many like-minded remixers and bricoleurs there.

As a result of meeting these people, and particularly thanks to my friend Ron Leunissen, I was introduced to #DS106 and the Daily Create. I dipped in and out of participation at first, only responding if a prompt really piqued my interest, but since November 22^nd 2017 I have completed the daily challenge every day, without fail. I’ve also written about how important it is to me on a guest reclaim blog post, and I won’t repeat all I said there about the influence that this daily activity has had for me – but it’s a hugely important part of my daily life. Well, after 2894 days of participation it’s not surprising that it’s very much #4life for me.
