Clubbin'

I'm currently a part of 4 learning adventure clubs:

I mentioned Learning Adventure Clubs while talking about the most recent one I've joined. But there are three more I'm currently a part of.

The most low-key one is reading Tiago Forte's Just-in-Time Project Management series:

we read silently together once a week in Roam, taking individual notes and then chat about it while taking more notes and reading one another's comments

(Joel)

Roam as the tool/medium for the book club is brilliant but will require a separate post to describe. (Even then, it's easier to show than tell.)

Another one is an egghead Course Club, where current and would-be egghead instructors learn how to create a high-quality course.

The final one is one I'm facilitating. I started working with our most talented Minecraft U camper after summer camps ended last year. Every weekend we work on ComputerCraft, or Python, or general web development. Joining us is one of my most senior instructors (who's also a senior in high school). I eventually coined it "Computer Adventures" (I just love the "adventure" moniker). It's super fulfilling work for me. Last week I bought them both mechanical keyboards (nothing fancy--the Keychron C1) and it was the most fun I've had gift-giving in a while. By June, I need to parlay Computer Adventures into a camp we can deliver over the summer. So far it's been entirely improvisational so I'm dreading actually codifying the curriculum. 

All are really fun and fulfilling for different reasons, but the end result is I'm becoming evangelically pro-learning-club, and over-extending myself a little. 😅
I think this could be addictive to someone like me. Just reading this post makes me want to join all the clubs you mentioned. Thanks to you and Sir Abe - I have joined the writing like the author you like course. I like how all of this is constructed. Very appealing to the likes of me.

Lmao I'm amazed that you have all these commitments. One thing I hope is that we can batch our workload fo Echo/Narccisus course and regular writing on Adagia together. Two birds one stone!!

Are you getting any value out of the egghead course club?

  I'm amazed as well. 😅 ...but yes, I'm looking forward to having a few of us Adagias working together here on Maggie's club.

  We've only had one meeting so far, but I've been witness to the care and thought that went into the prep, so I know it's going to be amazing. This one is for aspiring egghead instructors, but we have had course clubs for learners as well. Getting into a course club is well worth the annual membership, as I mentioned here: http://www.daniel.industries/2020/12/09/learning-adventure-clubs/
