Two years have flown by as a member of this versatile community. I can’t let this anniversary go by without taking stock on what has happened in that time for me.
Learning
One of the main reasons for joining the community was to learn how to drive Canvas. I’ve learned so much. But more importantly I’ve learned that I don’t need to know it all at once at the beginning. Instead I need to know where to find things out when I need them. Joining groups, reading blogs, joining discussions, asking questions, using the guides has helped me to slowly build my knowledge with purposeful reasons each time.
Horse Before the Cart. Purpose first, Canvas second.
Even though I can’t attend the many Canvas conferences that occur the learning from these is still available to everyone. Watching videos of sessions and even being able to attend remotely has been amazing.

Connections
Another reason for joining was to meet other Canvas users and swap ideas. Initially I thought that would just be in Australia! APAC I’ve been so impressed with the global sharing and support available and the camaraderie amongst Canvas users. There is so much wisdom in the collective genius of the community and people are so willing to share it. Blows me away every day.
Encouragement
The support given so freely in the community has encouraged me to try new things, ponder the purpose then in turn support others.

Improvement
Instructure does their very best to listen to us,the users, when we have ideas to improve the Canvas experience for our learners. How cool is that!
Shameless plug for an idea - https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/14012-speech-to-text-in-rich-content-editor-in-windows-os-make...
Bonus Giggles
I have really enjoyed the banter in discussion and the shared laughs. What a fabulous group of people.
Thanks Team Canvas!
