I did some work on improving my guide for making blog posts by incorporating what I learned during my last speedrunning session.
# Context:
I've been using my work in some fields to help improve my work in other fields. I made another big improvement to my learning processes with my latest speedrunning session. Now I want to explore what I can reuse for other fields, starting with making blog posts. Later I'll work on improving my guides for programming and grammar analysis.
# Goals:
- Learning goals:
- Improve learning processes (i.e. improve templates):
- of creating the blog post.
- of creating the blog post sections:
- summary
- context
- goals
- action plan
- work
- session analysis
- next steps
- footnotes
- Activity goals:
- Explore making a new guide for making blog posts incorporating the learning processes adopted in last speedrunning session.
- State audience.
- Don't misrepresent the state of my knowledge of the ideas I'm writing about.
- Don't plagiarize.
# Action Plan:
- Pre-activity phase:
- State audience clearly enough to use as a model to make predictions about whether or not the audience will understand my statements.
- Review last speedrunning session.
- Review latest guide for making blog posts.
- Activity phase:
- For each new non-activity idea from the last speedrunning session, consider how it can apply to making blog posts and document that.
- Post-activity phase:
- Check that I've not misrepresented the state of my knowledge of the ideas I'm writing about.
- If fail, create footnotes for corrections.
- Check that I've not plagiarized.
- If fail, create footnotes for corrections.
# Work:
Pre-activity phase:
- Audience: people familiar with FI.
- What new learning things did I implement in my last speedrunning session?
- Introduced a new section called summary.
- Write as much of this section as possible before performing the activity.
- Re the goals section, include meta-goals about learning, not just goals directly about the activity. Here's what I did for that in my last speedrunning session.
- Improve learning processes (i.e. improve templates):
- of creating the blog post.
- of creating the blog post sections:
- summary
- context
- goals
- action plan
- work
- session analysis
- next steps
- footnotes
- Re the action plan and work sections, use this categorization scheme:
- Pre-activity phase (aka pre-gameplay phase)
- Activity phase (aka gameplay phase)
- Post-activity phase (aka post-gameplay phase)
- Note: I think all of the above applies to making blog posts (and to programming and grammar analysis).
- Now I'll review my current guide for making blog posts (linked above) and try to incorporate the new ideas listed above.
Activity phase:
Guide for making blog posts:
- Load template
- summary
- context
- goals
- learning goals
- activity goals
- state audience clearly enough to use as a model to make predictions about whether or not the audience will understand my statements
- don't misrepresent the state of my knowledge of the ideas I'm writing about
- don't plagiarize
- action plan
- pre-activity phase
- load the following guides:
- Guide for making blog posts
- Guide for thinking/discussion (my idea tree on discussion methods)
- activity phase
- post-activity phase
- work
- pre-activity phase
- activity phase
- post-activity phase
- session analysis
- next steps
- footnotes
- Copy/paste my initial relatively less organized exploration (usually saved in my personal notes).
- Document as much as possible before doing step 1.5 (work).
- Do step 1.5 (work).
- Do step 1.6 (session analysis)
- Do step 1.7 (next steps)
- Do step 1.8 (footnotes)
- Finish step 1.1 (summary)
Post-activity phase:
- Check that I didn't misrepresent the state of my knowledge.
- Pass. No footnotes required.
- Check that I didn't plagiarize.
- I don't know how to check this very well. I don't have an organized process for determining this. I think in this case I did not plagiarize but I'm not confident that I could do this for more complicated cases. In this case, I didn't link to anybody else's writing nor did I credit anybody that I got ideas from, but I don't think I need to because I think I didn't write any ideas originated by anyone else except for stuff that is widespread in our culture.
- Pass. No footnotes required.
# Session analysis:
I think I achieved all of my stated goals.
# Next steps:
- Update my guide on making blog posts.
- Do the same process for my guide for programming (I saved this as a new personal note as a reminder).
- Do the same process for my guide for grammar analysis (I saved this as a new personal note as a reminder).
# Footnotes:
none
