Today I celebrate Dalton for his work ethic and for using text in his answers!
Today I celebrate Andrea for her work ethic and for using text in her answers! Thank you for sharing your life with me!
Week 6 begins today and is due Friday. All previous weeks are open -- Weeks 1-8 will close March 26.
To ensure that I can see your work, here are a few suggestions for future assignments:
- Remember to share your work with me. Google Drive is a great tool! I use it daily! To be sure I see your work, share each item with me (my email is my gmail account). Or you can sync your Canvas account with your Google Drive and the sharing will be automatic. Learn how to do so at http://guides.instructure.com/m/4212/l/344077-how-do-i-upload-a-file-from-google-drive-as-an-assignment-submission-in-canvas
- If you redo an assignment, you need to resubmit it. Canvas does not notify me of edited assignments. Be sure you message me through Inbox once you do so.
Ready, learn, lead!
Week 6 is about creativity. John Cleese, a British actor known best for his comedic creativity in Monty Python, said, "Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating." According to Steve Jobs, "creativity is just connecting things." What do you have in common with Cleese and Jobs? You, too, will attempt to define creativity with this week's content.

Here are tips for Week 6 assignments:
Dreams Questions - Be sure you refer to Maxwell's reasons in your text -- which of his reasons do you think fit why your dream did not take flight? Be sure to state your dream and then to explain it. For question #2, be sure to state how this information can specifically help you as a leader. Answering "no" or "it cannot help me" is not an answer.
Creativity Animoto - As the week's theme states, be creative! Include your dreams -- even the ones you might not think possible -- in your Animoto. What do you want to do when you graduate? What are the creative things you do with your friends (and remember that creative is not just about being artistic)? What are the creative parts of your personality? If you encounter difficulty with a program such as Wordle or Animoto, feel free to use another program that works better for you. I understand that some school systems use different operating systems and have different firewalls. Technology is important but remember it is a vehicle for delivering your knowledge -- it is necessary to drive a different car once in a while! Alternatives are listed with the assignments and/or I am happy to offer alternative web tools.
Earth Colony (4 posts, 4 replies) - Students love these forums! Unlike previous weeks, you have FOUR POSTS and at least FOUR REPLIES. One post and reply in the "Who Shall Go?, " one post and reply in the "What Will You Bring?," one post and reply in the "What About Money?" and one post and reply in the "The Governor Must Go." Be sure your replies are SPECIFIC -- avoid "I like your answer" as well as replies that are rude. Remember to check back throughout the week to see what your classmates are saying -- have fun and BE CREATIVE!
NC Governor Journal - State the principle and then explain why leaders need to follow it. Connect the principle to your leadership journey -- why do you need to follow it? Explain your answer and offer details. Remember that the prompt is not included in your word count!
