Strategies For Empowerment

Week 1 Discussion DNP

Blog: strategies for empowerment

In this course, you will produce a series of Blog entries to be shared with your colleagues. Blogs help facilitate a meaningful and more informal classroom environment—one that fosters dialogue, interaction, and the dissemination of ideas in a functional platform (Kuo et al., 2017). Blogs also promote community-building and a collaborative learning approach through the sharing of ideas. Although this blog may function somewhat like a discussion, it’s aim is to be more open-ended and informal in terms of sharing perspectives, thoughts, and experiences on a given prompt.

For this first Blog, you will reflect on your academic and professional experiences and write about strategies you have employed, or would like to employ, to help empower you to succeed as an online doctoral student.

Week 1

Address the following in your Blog entry:

· Describe at least one strategy you have used (academically and/or professionally) in the past that empowered you in one or more of the following areas: planning, time management, studying, or effective technology use, and explain how this strategy may help ensure your success in your program of study and in completing your DNP degree requirements. Be specific and provide examples.

· Describe at least one strategy you have not yet used and explain why. Explain how this strategy may be beneficial to you, given your personal strengths and areas in need of improvement. Be specific and provide examples.
