I have decided to start a blog. It has been on my mind for sometime now. After some consideration, I have currently decided to go in for a free blog on Blogspot. On the basis of how it progresses, I will decide to buy a domain. For now I will go with this.
My initial challenge is to find a name. I do have some ideas coming in from friends on Facebook and I have my own ideas to. A friend feels that I should wait - it will come to me. How does - 'My Experiences of Myself' sound? The blog address is available too. I started this writing journey with this thought in my mind. Full credit goes to the book, 'Conversations with God' to have implanted this question in my being - 'What is my experience of myself?'
While I am engrossed in the idea of starting a blog, another project idea has started brewing in my mind - a project where I make myself available to all those who are exploring homeschooling / unschooling on the phone or on a video call for a couple of hours every week for the next two months. I record these conversations and make them available for those interested. This will help many in their decision to opt out of the schooling system, or to become aware parents even if they decide to stay in the system. Right now, this is just an idea. I need to consider many factors before I commit myself to it.
A dear friend an unschooler with a 11 year old son has started weekly zoom meetings to create a support system for homeschooling / unschooling families. I am definitely part of these too. Do join us in these meetings. They are titled as Unschooling Support Group - Zoom Webinar. Here is the link for this weeks event. https://www.facebook.com/events/264226544742663. Each week we take one question centered around unschooling as the main theme and if possible invite a guest to share their unschooling experiences. We have had two sessions already and are now figuring out ways to make the webinar more interactive. During the last session we had Gauranga a 17 year old homeschooler as our guest and the theme was, 'Transition and deschooling.'
Alongside all this, I am also working with a few like minded people on starting a forum or we could call it an alliance for Self- Directed Learning Spaces. Those interested in knowing more about any of these projects can leave a comment and inbox me your phone numbers and gmail ids and we can talk more about it.
