At the beginning of the semester, I shared with you one of the learning components of the course that draws on video discussions as a way to learn from one another and provide an supplement to class discussions.

Flipgrid Video Responses [20% of course grade]

Per the SF 1203 syllabus:

Using the Flipgrid (now PADLET) video platform, you will engage in video discussions which will be facilitated by both the instructor and fellow students in the course; the platform allows us to create a series of “video discussion boards,” where you can respond to questions and comments by creating a brief video (or post responses to other student videos).

What is your favorite leadership quote?

Identify the author of the quote, share the quote on Padlet, and talk about the significance of the quote and what it means to you as an aspiring leader.

Select ONE of the three questions below for this Padlet video reflection:

1. In terms of leadership, who are your role models? What characteristics do they have that appeal to you? What have you learned from them?

2. What are the qualities, habits, behaviors, and/or attributes of a specific leader you admire or look up to? How do you hope to/plan to emulate them in your own leadership development?

3. Think of a time when you felt powerful (or empowered) as a result of what someone said or did. What did the person specifically say or do? How did it effect your morale/performance/emotional well-being? (Conversely, you can think of a time when someone made you feel "powerless" or "disempowered," and then answer the same set of questions as above).
