Welcome to the Learning Project series
From August 13, 2022 - September 12, 2022, I am embarking on the Ship30 experience on Twitter. (You can follow along with this series on twitter here.)
So, if you're publishing this for Twitter, why replicate it on Hive?
Great question.
First, Hive engages a different user than Twitter in many cases. I want to engage both audiences. I'm also publishing the full series on Medium and will publish parts of the series in other places. A goal of Ship30 is to build reusable, repurposable content and I want to intentionally explore that part of the course in this cohort.
Second, Hive has the best toolset of all of these platforms to build an index with links out to the posts in a series. I will use this post as the index for the whole series.
Third, I want to experiment with engagement numbers on various platforms to see how different content fares in different tools.
What is a Personal Learning Project?
At some point in your life you will need to learn something new. Any time you identify a knowledge gap and intentionally take action to close it, you are embarking on a personal learning project.
A personal learning project is an intentional effort to address an identified knowledge gap.
What are some examples of Personal Learning Projects that you've undertaken?
- When I started my business, I had to learn when and how to file quarterly taxes.
- In college, way back at the beginning of the Internet, I decided to learn how to build webpages. I found out what language webpages were written in and how to build pages using HTML.
- Today, I am working on a learning project to identify and apply principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) that would be beneficial to my coaching clients.
How do I start my own Personal Learning Project?
The first step in a personal learning project is to identify a gap in knowledge that you want to close.
You may already know what you want to learn. If so, great. Write it down. We'll talk about how to design your project soon. That said, the exercise I'll share in the first article below is really an excellent tool to do at least once a year just to check in with yourself about what you might want to learn.
