This blog is serving as an online archive of my thoughts, feelings, successes, and failures related to the HealthRhythms "Community of Practice" project, which I am taking as a graduate course in Experiential Education at Minnesota State University, Mankato during the Summer term. My intention (and we'll see if I can carry this through to completion) is to blog at the end of each week as a way to explain my thought processes and concrete actions taken during the project.
Sufficed to say, I am quite excited to see where this leads.
"Begin with the end in mind" is a mantra that I am trying to follow in this project; I always want to keep my project outline in mind to keep me on track. (I'll have to post a link to that dcocument later on). So far, here's what I've accomplished:
- Drawn up the learning contract and project outline
- Contacted my fellow "colleagues of the drum" to guage their interest in forming a "community of practice"
- We're working on setting a date and location in July!
- Need to contact the facilitator from Minnesota Technology of Participation to begin the process of finding out the practitioner angle on the CoP
Challenges and Opportunties: Staying focused on the long-term goal, which is creating the community of practice and following through with the products I said I would create as a result of this project.
I have a lot on my plate--need to find a job for next year, move to a new apartment next month, a marathon to train for--but I know that, with persistence and positivity, it can all come together. It's all about the drum!
