Participation Records
By reflecting about my engagement with GaiaU over the last two months, I recognized that I had not very often a guild-buddy meeting or visited a Gaia Radio call. I was the most time so busy with every-day life that I thought it would be good to be more engaged but at least I had one guild-buddy-meeting with Juliane Killenberg, visited a Gaia Radio middle of the year presentation and did some Forum posts.
Instead in my local community I had a lot of think and listens and conversations with people. Unfortunately I did not write them down. Bur here are some people I collaborated with.
Bees: Anne (exchanging,my role: support person), Micha (experienced bee-keeper = teacher, is answering all questions)
Practical-building skills: Micha (experienced = teacher)
Soil-building: Keti (experienced), Jean-Phillipe (gardener)
Community: Charlotte
Personal: Keti & Charlotte (personal needs & philosophize about world)
I did not use any of the GaiaU services (Main Advisor/Elf/Skillflex meetings). But after I submitted my OP I will contact my Main Advisor to schedule an advising session
Digiphon
In this section I am presenting all tools and platforms I used while I worked on my OP.
Tools:
- Libre Office to write texts
- XMind to create Mindmaps
- Excel to create documents
- Photo Camera to take pictures
- Laptop to write on
- Simple Image reducer to reduce the size of pictures
- Image quick to cut pictures
Platforms:
- Mahara to present my OP
- Dropbox to save and upload (additional) material to then edit it as a link
And last of all to make this OP it took a lot of time, observation, reflection, re-design and patience. I could not give you a specific time amount because it was a process I was working on for two months.
