Got Tech Issues? Technology is wonderful and awful...sometimes at the same time. We use lots of applications in our course. Why? Leadership is about trying new things and expanding your exposure to using technology to lead. When you use a new application, it is important to problem-solve and to persevere - do not give up just because something is an obstacle. Try each application. In addition to the tutorials linked in the assignments, I will post tips and how-to's in the Daily Announcements. If an application does not work with your school's firewall or your computer, contact me and I will offer solutions and/or alternative applications. When I cannot solve the problem, the NCVPS Virtual Support Center is the next resource. Use the directions at https://www.smore.com/p9yt3-got-tech-issues (Links to an external site.) to help you issue a help desk ticket. - Module 1 Getting Started Due January 14

- Progress Report January 31

Got Online Firsts? Today you will create your first Prezi for our course. Prezi is an amazing FREE presentation application. Use the directions here as well as the tutorial posted in the assignment to create your leadership roadmap. Once you create a Prezi account and click "Create a New Presentation," search for the maps and/or roadmaps templates. Chose the one that fits your personality. Then fill in the template with your ideas - pay close attention to what the directions and the rubric ask you to include at each "stop" or part of your Prezi. If you do not use an element of the template, be sure to delete it so that it is not visible in your final presentation (ex. <Insert Title Here>). When you are ready to post your Prezi, click on share to get the link to your Prezi. Copy and paste that link into the submission text box. If you know how to, feel free to embed your Prezi presentation -- if you want to learn how to do so, let me know and I will show you.

Today's Assignments:
- Module 1 Lesson 2 Assignment - Leadership Roadmap
- Module 1 Post-Assessment
In yesterday's Module 1 Lesson 2 Practice Activity, you completed a reflection of your strengths/weaknesses and set two SMART/CLEAR leadership goals to help you improve one strength and one weakness. Today you are going to use one of those leadership goals to build a Leadership Roadmap. Creating a leadership roadmap is equivalent to creating an action plan for your leadership journey. Now that you have leadership goals, what actions do you need to take to achieve it? The roadmap or action plan lays out the specific steps you will take, the resources you will use, and the support system you will use/build to help you reach your SMART/CLEAR leadership goal. Use the resources in my feedback and what you have learned so far in Module 1 to help you identify steps to move you towards your goal. As you map out the specific steps, you will refer to your strengths/weaknesses, your core values, and your understanding of the leadership skills you need to sharpen to make your leadership goal a reality. The leadership roadmap you create now will be what you follow throughout the semester - future modules/assignments ask you to refer back to your leadership goals and assess how you are growing as a leader. Take the time to do this leadership roadmap well so that it is easy to follow and easy to reference.
Tips:
- Use the Prezi information in the inform section above to help you if this Prezi is another online first for you.
- Got Citations? Use the smore at https://www.smore.com/fgawh-got-citations (Links to an external site.) to help you create formal citations - leaders use their resources!
- Be sure your leadership goal is not too general. To help you narrow your leadership goal, go back and review SMART and CLEAR goals as well as the video I posted this week about writing goals. Then review your strengths and weaknesses -- what one thing do you want to work on first?
- Be sure to discuss the online leadership quiz you took in the practice activity to help you determine your leadership goal.
- As you create your steps/stops, be sure to develop your strength/weakness by explaining how it relates to your leadership goal. In other words, why is it something that could help you accomplish your goal?
- Be sure to explain each stop. State what you will do at this step/stop to move closer to your leadership goal. Then explain the stop and how it relates to your life and leadership. Remember that visuals also add an explanation of your ideas and make your argument stronger as long as you annotate (explain) them.
- Read your Prezi before submitting. Please check your Prezi for grammar, spelling, and capitalization errors - never submit work until you have checked over something at least twice. Remove any parts of the Prezi template that you do not need for your roadmap (ex. charts, graphs).

Module 1 Post-Assessment If you did not complete your post-assessment before or during the holiday weekend, please do so today. Before you take your post-assessment, review the entire module. What are the important ideas for this week? Read the introductions, review your Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 notes, and take a look at your practice and assignment activities as well. Be sure to view the flashcards at the beginning of each set of notes so that you understand the vocabulary. When you take the post-assessment, remember good test-taking skills:- Breathe before you open the assessment. Relax your body so that it will help you relax your mind.
- Read the entire question including all answers before selecting one. Look for the central idea of the question - what is the main point?
- Check over your work before you submit it. If you have a problem submitting, try once more. If you still a problem submitting the assessment, let me know and take screenshots of your intended answers.
You will use Web 2.0 tools in this course. This week you learned about Padlet and Prezi. Take a look at this Prezi while you review Module One:
