Week 2, the connecting week, is now over and we are moving towards Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies.

The last week was interesting. It was lovely to meet all our PBL group members online and get to know each other a bit more. We did a nice padlet where we told about ourselves something else than just name, organisation and other ‘work stuff’. I have been thinking if I gave a little too outdoors person image of myself. I DO enjoy the nature but sometimes it can take days that I go outside only to take the trash or do some other mandatory things. It is mostly due to remote working I must say. Especially last spring was so full of work that a whole day and also some of the evenings were spent at the computer. 

But work is not only reason I sometimes get stuck indoors. I have a big family and after the kids get home from school and daycare, evenings tend to be full of homework and other stuff and soon it is too dark to do anything outside. Such are the northern countries for most of the year. Luckily I enjoy being home and making crafts like knitting and sewing and even in Finland we do have electric lights nowadays to make it possible. 😉

Despite being indoors sometimes for days in a row I do enjoy the nature. I just need a reminder sometimes of its empowering effect to get myself moving.
