I'm super excited for the flash mob, if you couldn't tell. I always love things that catch people off guard and get them a little outside of their comfort zones. I really enjoy watching people and their reactions to unexpected things. During this last class we got to start brainstorming some ideas for flash mobs. We had previously been looking on the internet and youtube for some ideas of what other people have done. There are a lot of creative ideas out there and I'm excited to see what our class comes up with. It should be a really fun and bonding thing to do with the people in the TR major.
The main things we learned about in class were the concepts of task analysis and activity analysis. This was a really neat exercise that we got to do. Each group was assigned an activity, such as kayaking or basketball, and then had to go through every step of task analysis--breaking down every detail of what must be done to learn and do the activity. Afterward, we went through and analyzed what types of strengths (physical, cognitive, social and emotional) would be needed for our activity. We also thought through extra details, such as financing, administration issues and equipment details. When our group went through it, we did a pretty thorough job of thinking through possibilities, except with the task analysis, so it took quite a while. Next, we chose a population to fit to our activity and came up with adaptations/modifications that would need to be made. This was interesting, because our activity was kayaking and our population was people with spinal cord injuries. More than anything, I realized that there are a ton of things needed to kayak and it takes a lot of time to think through everything. One must be very thorough to plan a trip, let alone plan a trip where some of the participants will be people with SCIs. It was a beneficial and growing activity--fun to think through some things that might be a reality for us in the profession one day!
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
-Psalm 100
