MAC Wk 4 Wimba Post

I prefer SKYPE over the IM softwares, but I have both equipped if necessary. It seems there were a lot of issues with WIMBA during the session. I had not read Oprah's "Secret" or the "Power of Positive Thinking", so I would have to prefer "The Art of Possibility". I believe it gave insightful advice to our approach to everyday life that will benefit us as well as others.  My favorite chapter in the book was a hard choice. I love Rule #6, Leading from Any Chair, Lighting a Spark, but the most beneficial for me, not necessarily for my students, was Being the Board.  This chapter helped me to come out a of a funk that I am presently in and reevaluate my position, not as merely a pawn, but as the "controller" of my universe, outside of God of course. I will continue to view my life from the standpoint of being the board and rewriting the rules of the game to help me deal with every situation I encounter.  I will also remember Rule #6 as a life philosophy that will definitely provide some levity on this journey.  Finally, I will seek to make more decisions from my central self and identify the instances when my calculating self is keeping me from making the best choices for everyone in situations, not just myself.

I also received the information on the Leadership Project Recap. I had my project evaluated by my peers and placed that information in my week 3 Wimba post, so I was covered and I will make sure to submit my publication request for Month 12 to complete the Leadership Project.

Do No Relax. We're not finished just yet.
