Blog Question Week 6
Congrats to Mountain Mama of Kendrick/Juliaetta, she’s our weekly winner! Even though she took me to task for forgetting about those of you in remote areas with only dial-up internet access… she persevered after many grueling hours on the scavenger hunt! I will definitely keep in mind your technology limits in the future…
MJ has created a ‘how to blog’ handbook that is now available on our Horizons website at http://extension.ag.uidaho.edu/horizons/coaches.htm at the very top of the page… Thanks MJ!
Also, for those communities that may be looking for a little more training, please contact MJ at merijoz@uidaho.edu / 208-885-8949 to see how she can help you.
Rules: Post your answers on your blogsite by Tuesday, April 29 by midnight and be entered in the drawing for one of our book titles…
NOTE: Please enter your answers as either a comment to the original question OR as a brand new entry on your blog so that the answers are easy for people to find.
Reflective Questions:
• Looking back, what is one (or more) skill or leadership trait you have developed from participating in Horizons (maybe from Study Circles or LeadershipPlenty or from the hands on work going on in your communities right now)?
I feel that one of the most important leadership traits that I have developed from participating in Horizons is teamwork. Old habits die hard though and it is something that I need to keep up on.
How has participation in the program changed you?
Participation in the program has changed me by helping me to succeed in learning how to keep my arrows going in the same direction. Also by reminding me to keep my eyes and mind open to new and different views from my own.
What about your community? Are there specific examples of things happening in your community that wouldn’t have happened without Horizons?
We were able to persevere and complete our Community Resource Book that will be printed and issued in the near future.
• Bonus reflective question: How has the blogging experienced affected you? (please edit any inappropriate language, hahaha trust me, I feel your pain!!)
Since I have to edit my language, let’s just call it a “learning lesson”!!!!!
Scavenger Hunt Question:
• Which of the Idaho Horizons community blogs has information about April being Child Abuse Awareness month? This website also provides information about Youth Suicide Prevention.
The winner will receive:
