Thursday, February 23 -- Week 5 TRADITIONAL CALENDAR

Today I celebrate Keirstin!  She has hit the ground running and is posting detailed explanations each time she answers a question!

Today I celebrate Skylar!  She offered great statistics to back up her Wasting Time padlet -- did you know we average 17 years of advertisements/commercials during a lifetime?

 

Week 5 continues and is due tomorrow.  

Be sure you send me your Windshield Check today.

Remember if you have trouble with a link, try copying and pasting it into a new tab or a new browser.  If the Goldsmith link is not cooperating, try using http://www.inc.com/author/marshall-goldsmith (Links to an external site.)

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.

Be sure to read the extra announcement about NCVPS Spirit Week!

Ready, learn, lead!

You continue to explore leadership online this week. One of the most common ways we access the internet is with our phones. And one of the biggest ways we procrastinate is to overuse our devices.  How about using your device for good instead of procrastination? 

Here is one way how...

It is important to see leadership in action around the world.  If you are too busy to watch the news, try listening to it.  Choose one or more of the following podcasts from NPR to explore leadership in current events:

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.?
