After ISTE, I spent 10 days essentially, "off the grid", at least for me, and now I'm working to get back into the flow.
This morning, I created an introduction for the class and posted it to the discussions. I used PhotoPeach, a fairly nice tool. Initially, I struggled with how to create the captions, but once I got back into edit, it was fairly straight forward.
Michael Walker Introduction on PhotoPeach
I started reading Gardner on Leadership yesterday, and have continued looking at some of the content today. I like the ideas he is presenting, and find my philosophy/experience to match pretty closely. As I think about myself as a leader, I see my ability to grasp the "big picture" and vision, as a good sign. Where I need help, and why I am in this program are to gain political skill, to better communicate my ideas and as Gardner put's it, "bind constituencies."
I found it interesting that Gardner's words, written in 1990 refer to how historians will look at certain leaders. I wonder what he would have said about the last 3 presidents!
