Discussion Forums give you the opportunity to access content and share your thoughts with your peers. In an online class, discussion forums are the same as group shares in the face-to-face classroom. Try reading your post out loud before you submit it -- how does it sound? what do you hear? what do you not hear? Check out the following posts from Week 10's Covey Discussion Board and use the Leadership Rubric below it to assess each one:
Sample A - "Some things on the site that I thought were interesting were included in the “Voice Finder” section. In this part of the site. I thought it was interesting that Covey said that one’s voice is where four areas coincide: passions, what one likes to do; talents, what someone’s good at; conscience, how someone feels; and need, what the world needs from someone. He indicated that using all three elements of one’s life can be used to determine a potential career that would be doable, fulfilling, and profitable. One section that I thought was particularly helpful was in the “Baby Steps” section and involved relationships with friends. It gave examples of ways to avoid hanging out with friends that can cause harm, and 5 strategies for avoiding peer pressure. The latter strategies include being direct, blaming parents for rejecting social influences, using humor, finding alternatives, and simply walking away. I was surprised that Covey included information about addiction. I suppose that having an addiction would hinder someone’s success, but it’s not the first thing that came to mind when I thought about the topic being successful."
Sample B - "I found the list of ten baby steps interesting and very helpful. Taking baby steps is the best thing people should do instead of taking big leaps and end up failing. "
Discussion Board Rubric:
A "1" consists of a short, general statement that could apply to any number of posts.
A "2" is somewhat general, but addresses the question of “what”.
A "3" is a strong, in-depth response that answers both “what” and “why”.
Use the rubric to assess each sample and TEXT me your answers (ex. C-2). Then take a look at your most recent reply and consider what you are doing well as well as what you could add.
Ready, learn, lead!
One of the vocabulary words for the week is
commitment. Your reading by Dr. John Maxwell discussed “make-a-difference” people. He says “make-a-difference people”—the kind of folks you want on your team and in your life because they’re constantly making positive things happen.” As you read his article, think about if you are a “make-a-difference” person. How can you change your attitudes and actions to reflect someone who is making positive things happen?
