However you got here, we’re glad you came . . .

This is a collaborative blog, one of the cornerstones of a collaborative learning platform developed by Swift Kick and sponsored by APCA.

Here’s how it works:

Activities professionals from around the country contribute their thoughts to this blog.  These thoughts are placed in pre-defined categories, i.e. assessment, recruitment, etc. producing the “tag cloud” you can see on the right hand side of the blog.

Sounds cool, no?  Here’s the trick:

This blog requires activity to make it worthwhile.  The more active you are, dear visitor, the more useful the blog becomes.  You have a number of options of participation:

1) Read the blogs.  We’ll publish visitor stats and this will encourage the writers.

2) Comment on the blogs. This is huge! It creates dialogue, the best learning, and is a great way to warm up to actually blogging yourself.  When you comment, feel free to be feisty, opinionated, and disagree.  We are all here to learn!

3) Become a writer.  Think you could start a couple of good conversations around topics you care about it?  Go for it!  Just e-mail us here and we will set you up, you can then contribute whenever you like (and bask in the accolades of hundreds of your peers.)
