It is pouring in Georgia today. You know, one of those forever-rains where you want to curl up in front of a fire and read a book or watch a movie. However, there is no rest for the weary in this house. I still have two more projects to do for the 3rd semester of my Ph.D. coursework. Because of the interconnectedness of the two classes, I am combining the projects into one. The two classes are (1) David Bohm, taught by Dr. F. David Peat, and (2) Integral Sustainability, taught by Allan Combs and Kelly Larson.
The program I am in is transdisciplinary, which means that it is inquiry-driven (among other attributes), rather than discipline-driven. My area of inquiry has to do with how people change the world and themselves, simultaneously, through the decisions they make (or don't make) and how living an authentic life acts as gentle action in a changing world. I hope that the work I do will provide people with proven tools and techniques to live authentic, compassionate lives, which serve the community as well as the individual's well-being.
I will be using my blog to record the progress I make on this project. This morning I identified the following:
Project Purpose: To establish the infrastructure and lay the ground work for updating, marketing, and delivering my workshop and methodology online.
Tasks for Project Completion:
-
Blog each day about progress. Provide rationale in the form of scholarship references and information about the struggle with the model and with the technology.
-
Update the workbook for my existing workshop based on new knowledge obtained in this program. This will form the basis for and serve as the functional specification for online delivery.
-
Design the online presence. I will do this in a PowerPoint presentation. There will not be enough time before this project is due to implement the online delivery of the workshop.
-
Add the BlogTalkRadio link to my blog, my website, and to Facebook.
Comments are welcome.
