Intentional Focus for 2020

Two years ago this month I started the DreamersAndGiants.com website. The goal was to honor and remember many of the people who have been part of WVWC throughout the history of the school.

Need for Intentionality

A couple of things happened on New Year’s Day. First of all, I realized that we were in a new decade, and I needed to add a page to record things that are happening now. Secondly, I realized that I have never managed to create a biography page for some of the very biggest Giants — like Roy McCuskey, for instance!

What if I needed to

2020 Focus

The year 2020 seems like a great time to consider my focus. Most of last year I jumped around and wrote blogs on whatever happened to come into my line of sight that week. It was a lot of fun! And, I was able to write about a lot of great things. It was somewhat like Alice in Wonderland going down Rabbit Holes!

What if this year, I tried to be more like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz? She knew exactly where she wanted to go and managed to get there even while having lots of adventures and making some new friends.

New Year – New Plan

This year, I have committed to taking a more strategic approach. The basis of this approach will be Chronologies. To that end, I have reconfigured the Chronology section on DreamersAndGiants.com. Instead of having a different page for each year, it is more streamlined. Take a look! There is a lot of good information already, and it will get stronger as we go. I have been working on several of these types of tools behind the scenes.

One of the first things I will need to do is to strengthen the decade review sections. As I do this, I will still be running into various Rabbit Holes. So, I think that this is a plan that I can enjoy while still being productive.

Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you 2020 focus in whatever the new year brings your way.

What plays were done? Who was in them? Who directed them? How were the reviews? This page will give a chronological overview.

Obviously, there is more to add, but much of that information has been gathered and is being processed. This is an example of one of the specific chronologies being developed.

 

This Day in WVWC History

This Day in WVWC History

This Day in WVWC History is arranged so that you can see what events happened on a given day.  You can see at a glance the significance of that particular day over the range of years.

This is a growing document. Things that have been added so far have come from a combination of sources and include things that I have found and that my students have discovered over several years. This gives it a wider scope, as each person has looked at the Pharos, Sundials, and published histories with a unique perspective.
