2nd day of class
Arrange in same flight pattern (seating arrangement)—review
names—mk sure pronounce correctly
Meditate: flow (tie to flow chart)
Review:
Intro: make sure we’re in sync, that our expectations are
clear
What is a dream culture?
What’s the pt of the purple cow?
Other eg’s of purple cows from bb—in
modules and wiki…purpose is to see what purple cows look like and to provide
inspiration…you can piggy back on any of these ideas…
solar oven, edible landscape, hiit
(google fitness blender), biomodulator, dynamind, nvc language (Rosenberg), survival
(Tom Brown), 5 rhythms (Roth), life saver bottle (clean drinking water)
another way to get a purple cow is
to id a problem and then think of a soln. food for the poor (25K die per day of
starvation), flooding in Hampton Roads…let them talk about the ones that they
viewed outside of class, then you fill in the blanks
before next class add your purple
cow dream to the wiki—accountability, plus a place where people from class can
see what you’re working on and support you through resources they may find…help
each other when you can, esp. if it’s an area of interest for you
format:
name, title, brief description below…do an e.g. on bb so they can see how to
access, edit, save
What are the take home points on the traditional academic
research culture? This is what you’re being indoctrinated into rt now in
probably almost every class you take at odu…gold journal article, parts lit
rev, method, results, disc
This teaching method is new for me (my purple cow), so I
need some feedback to make sure we understand each other, to ck out your sense
of what’s going on in class…so what are you expected to do in this class? What
are you graded on?
Any questions re: syllabus? I want you to succeed in here,
but to do so, you have to understand the game plan.
Go
through the links on the syllabus…any discussion/questions…?
How did you do on your first journal entry…ask for examples
of how people set them up…remind minimum requirements: data, what did you do,
how did you feel about it…other things to include for your edification…let them
talk…reminder that you turn these in at 2 pts in the term, so need to be able
to print a hard copy and hand in
Only write about what you think is
important/valuable, and if you can’t think of anything from the last class or
your homework assignment, then take responsibility for your own learning and GO
after it, find something relevant that is important/valuable to you to write
about, don’t let the class topics be the
limit to your learning, explore…don’t say, I couldn’t find anything
interesting to write about, you have the
sum total of all wisdom from all cultures at your fingertips, go find something
interesting to write about if you don’t get anything from what we covered
in class.
Which method of Shawn Achor did you test out last week? How
did it go? Recall only 2 mins a day for 21 days to re-wire your brain for
positivity (and recall all the benefits…it TURNS ON all your learning centers
!)…I challenge you to take this on, to make it a priority, I believe it will
help you in creating and fulfilling your dream…I personally do all of the 5
methods every week, several of them I do daily.
Sharing your dreams…
Ideas for creating a supportive dream environment
Ideas for sharing our dreams…share in groups, get prelim fdbck,
then share as a class
Let people talk in groups, then individually…times to meet
with me
We are here to support each others’
dreams…if you have info that will help someone please forward it to them on
index card, paper, e-mail, talk to during break, after class, or post to the
class wiki where they have their dream project idea on bb…
Also as I put these on the white
board, if you have similar dreams, consider working in pairs or small groups,
or for some of you that haven’t committed to a dream yet, this may spark some
ideas for you…1/2 baked and sketchy dreams are welcome, we will work with them
and show you the potential, the only limits here are our imagination
let people talk…ask questions
[maybe later before turn in proposal, do a notecard activity—update on the
dream and fdbck from class in form of notecards—put your name on the notecard
(if you’re willing to talk with the person about your feedback)…include pos and
critical fdback…write as much as you can to help each person
Make
sure meet the purple cow criterion
Put the ideas on the white board
with a word/phrase, and then id groups that could in principle work
together…pros and cons of working in groups
Break
Goal for the next week:
Break dream down into parts and choose part that you could
manage in the course of 4 weeks for this term
Create a FLOW CHART, time line, do e.g. from one of the
dreams…sequence of activities or steps needed to complete the dream…show an
example using feeding the hungry or solar oven—show on white board…may not know
yet, okay, just list all the activities you think you need to do to accomplish
your dream, and then try to put them in order from beginning to end.
do you have other ideas of how to do this?
Another idea for working with your dream, making it more
concrete:
DRAW A PICTURE of the part of your dream that you want to
work with for next class and be ready to explain the details of it…Show Dan
Roam video and where to get his other videos
Give them time to work on time line and picture in
class…want to see a picture before you leave
Hwk: Articulate revised dream, create flow chart, id what
part of dream want to work with, draw a picture of it
2nd journal entry by next class
