A1) I love the consistent opportunity to connect with the #lrnchat community and learn about what other folks are doing and are interested in
Q1: What does being part of the #LearnChat / #lrnchat community mean to you, and what excites you most about its return?

(#lrnchat, our old hashtag may appear tonight, so that those who used to follow it on Twitter can find our new chat #learnchat here on Bluesky)

A0) Hi #lrnchat! I'm Kristin from CA 🌻. I design immersive learning solutions and recently transitioned into product management. This week as part of my data science program, I learned how to do sentiment analysis using R.
Q0) We like to start chat off with a round of introductions. Please let us know a bit about yourself: who you are, where you are from, what kind of work you do, and maybe share something you have learned this week.

Don't forget to add #learnchat to each post/response so it shows up in the feed.

I love the idea of these start packs. If you're interested in the L&D world, these are some of my favorites to get you started.

Who else should we add?

I still have some kinks to work out but yesterday I found out that recording a video stream using a camera body was noticeably lower quality than as just using the camera body itself to record a video. Decided to redo my shoot from Tuesday 📸

If you have any tips to share would love to hear them! 🙏

First time streaming with my ZV-1 📸 was a success 👏

Nothing warms my heart like knowing that puffer jackets are back in style. I last time I wore one I was in elementary school! Nostalgia is hitting and I’m here for it! 😆
