Welcome to Week 3!  Week 3 begins today and is due Friday.   As Josh Hinds said, "Doing what's expected of you can make you good, but it's the time you spend going above and beyond what's required that makes you great!"  To get the most of our course and truly work on your leadership journey, embrace the announcements, the feedback, and the assignments.
Starting in Week 4, I will leave 3 weeks open at a time -- the previous week, the current week, and the upcoming week.  All other weeks will be closed so be sure to use your time wisely while weeks are open! 
Remember to read and follow the grading policies.  Click here to review Course Documents.
Logging in for the first time?  Be sure to read the Daily Announcements from the last 2 weeks so you know what to do to get started.
Week 3 Lesson 1 asks you to create a word cloud.  Kudos to those who have worked ahead and problem-solved to create and post yours already! If your computer at home or school does not accept an application assigned in any of your weeks, go back and read the alternative applications listed with the original assignment.  You can also contact me if you find that none of the recommended alternatives work either.  The process of problem-solving is just as important as the task!
If avoid issues when posting your word cloud, try one of the tips below:
You can use the above tips for any of the web 2.0 tools this semester -- padlet, animoto, etc.
Ready, set, lead!

Week 3 Assignment Tips:
Word Cloud - If Wordle does not load, open the alternatives document. If the alternatives do not load, contact me:)
Relationship Questions - Before you read the article, read the 5 questions you will need to answer. After reading the article, answer each question in complete sentences. Be you fully answer the question and offer examples to explain your ideas.
Inner Circle Questions - Assignment 3.3 asks you to consider the important of creating an “inner circle" or what should be a solid team of supporters around you. The material addresses some of the common mistakes made as well as why you should create the strongest team possible. While some of this may sound foreign or strange to you, think about what it means to have a weak link or someone who only tells you what you want to hear rather than what the truth may be. Get started and be sure to answer the questions in a thoughtful, comprehensive manner.
Relationship Reflection - As you answer the 4 questions, fully explain your ideas and offer specific examples. Students often leave #4 unanswered by saying they do not have a relationship on which to work however everyone has a relationship that needs work.
Your Leadership Type - You will take an abbreviated test based on the Myers-Briggs to determine how you take in information and how you make decisions. The idea of your personality evolving around these functions first came from Carl Jung. He believed that our senses and our intuition influence how we take in information and that logic and feelings influence our decision-making. This test will tell you your dominant functions.
Shidle Journal Read the quote and use what you have learned this week as well as your life experience to answer the questions. Be sure to meet the 150 word requirement and to answer each question fully.
Before posting any of your assignments, ask yourself the following questions:
a. Did I follow all instructions?
b. Did I completely answer the questions?
c. Do I clearly reflect that I understand and am thinking about the topic?  Did I use any weekly vocab?
d. Do I clearly reflect that I am applying the topic to my life--asking questions, giving examples, etc.?
