Item HaPI Jo Jewelry(2012) Harney, JoieHapi Jo Jewelry is a small design and resale jewelry business that strives to bring its customers the best possible and unique creations. People of all ages should be able to find something that is interesting and be able to share with other people. The jewelry industry has average sales of 30.2 billion dollars so find the right niche should be fun to seek out while getting to know more about the consumers on distributers.Item "Thinking Together" - A Virtual Community of Practice Approach to a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Leadership Program(2020) Mitchell, Jennie; Pantazi, Lamprini; Hiltz, Dan; Hubbard, Eric; Phelps, EmilyIn the first Saint Mary of the Woods College Community of Practice (CoP), five facilitators worked together to build the elements for a dynamic Community of Practice. Originally this CoP was scheduled as a hybrid-emersion model (with a weekend of bonding activities, 8 weeks of online, and an ending weekend of presentations and celebrations). Because of COVID-19, the team of facilitators built a comparable level of emersion experience, virtually. Every detail was considered from ice-breakers (wheel decide) to lively and creative orientations, to guest speakers who used a poling system (Mentimeter) to bring a word cloud to life, to a speaker who challenged the GCWL leaders to take a journey of self-discovery. The certificate program ended with a culminating project – a virtual poster show complete with audio, video, and Zoom breakout rooms to answer questions about their journey. In the final webinars, it was clear that this CoP was “thinking together,” a process where a CoP will mutually guide each other in a collaborative learning process.
