You are free to use all of the skills you learned in the orientation to the WordPress process in making your Blog come alive.

It is what people will remember about you and set you apart from one another as unique leaders in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Introduction, we start with your first assignment in the course. In this assignment you will enlist all of the things you know about Strategic leadership; from your personal development through to present status of Strategic Leadership ability. You will also learn a peer review process for grading and how to submit your assignments into a PressBooks environment.<\/p>\n<p>We will also take the time to meet a little face to face via a ZOOM video conference, so we can discuss any course logistics and\/or any challenges you are facing within the course layout (links, instructions, etc).<\/p>\n<p>Following the instructions below, you will find another Reading Overview related to the specific materials covered in the coming week of the course. Your life of reading, responding and submitting is officially begun, followed by 3 learning outcomes for the unit and e-reading resources for you to review in the week ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the section outlines your Assignment due dates and the Learning Activities for the week.
