I am building it, to continue from my last post. I guess the saying is "if you have something to do give it to a busy person." This week I have been supporting my daughter as she completes her History Day competition entry, helping my other daughter study for French (I don't speak French so you can imagine how I am slaughtering pronunciation), trying to stay on top of the administration for our home-school coop, trying to be patient waiting for college application decisions for my son, trying to read a couple of books, going through helpful articles in Inc. Magazine and trying to surrender to the inspiration and joy I feel listening to Mumford and Sons' I Will Wait For You. And don't forget walking the dogs, making dinner, washing dishes, etc. Suffice it to say, TO GET FOCUSED GET BUSY. At least for the moment, until I switch over to needing a meditation break.
I am thrilled to see the number of people checking out my blog growing, and also growing internationally! I wonder what is interesting in these pages? I hope this design process brings questions or connections. I wonder if those of you in Russia or Germany or Hong Kong or India or any of the other very cool places find something of interest here? I wonder where in the United States people are from? Do you have a student ready to apply to college? Or, a love of the Grateful Dead or Mumford and Sons? Or an interest in improving the education system?
This is a photo of what I am working on right now. It has come from a list of characteristics that students or people in general might use to define themselves within a context. Right now I am just using Familiar/Unfamiliar as my context but I am moving to something more specific. And, I have laid out a board to track how quickly a player can move on a simulated campus. But that is for another day...
