I am thrilled to be part of the Outdoor Ed community blog-o-sphere. The intention is for this to be a place for facilitators to pop in and get some new ideas, points of view, activities, resources and whatever else the facilitators of this community need.
As a trainer at High 5 Adventure, I am most familiar with issues in the realm of challenge courses but in varied career in outdoor education, I have been a trip leader, environmental educator, challenge course practitioner, program director, bird handler, director of education, carpenter, furniture builder...wait wait...to much information I think on my background, but the point is that I am hoping to bring my varied experience and dare I say expertise to the community.
I will admit that at this point, I have no idea where this blog will go and that is exciting on some level. It also means I will need your help., direction and input. While I will be the primary contributor to this blog, I would welcome your submissions and will act as an editor in that respect.
My hope is that this blog will give you ideas, resources and maybe your occasional educational story of learning and humor. I also hope you will leave thinking... so I will finish this first post with this simple true or false question...
True or False: "This statement is False."
Did I mention I have found a recent interest in Philosophy...
