Starting within my own circle of influence ...

# Examine Your Circles of Influence
\
Each of us has a circle of influence. For some, that circle is large and for some it’s small.

Within our circles of influence, some individuals we can readily motivate (e.g. my kids and my students) and some we can gently persuade (such as my colleagues) and others we can merely inform (like my twitter followers).

As I’ve contemplated ways to interact within my own circle of influence (to expand the hive), the most obvious place to start is with my students. I teach an Honor’s Seminar entitled *Entrepreneurial Value Creation in Society*.

All my students are honors students. *That means they are smart, motivated, and well-respected by their peers.*

## My Immediate Plan

Currently, my students watch a video lecture and/or read an assignment each week, post questions about the week’s topic to a discussion forum, post answers to each other’s questions on the forum, and write a short reflection paper where they critically analyze the arguments presented in the reading or lecture.

I am planning to create a new Hive community tied to the course, where I will regularly post links to the content that my students will be engaging with each week (so that members of the existing Hive community can also engage with that content, if they so choose).

In addition, I am planning to offer extra credit to students who create a Hive account and begin posting their Discussion Forum questions and responses directly to Hive (inside the ‘class community’).

I am also thinking about setting up some sort of contest to reward students who get the most total upvotes throughout the semester and maybe also have a contest to encourage them to get their friends and acquaintances to join the Hive community.

**Always be a positive influence!**

There definitely was a successful similar initiative previously - I think it was some history class where students also engaged with the community. And I think at that time there wasn't even the possibility to create your own community. 

Sounds really good and looking forward to seeing the class and students. :)

Hey this is interesting :)
I always thought that Hive can be a great place for student and teachers. 
There was some initiative previously some called them learn and earn :)

That's a great idea!

Made me think about the six degrees of separation theory. If each one of us makes an effort to influence those around us, we can theoretically bring anyone to Hive!

Congratulations on your initiative and thanks for sharing! I hope it inspires more of us to do similar things!

This is really awesome to hear.

> I am also thinking about setting up some sort of contest to reward students who get the most total upvotes throughout the semester and maybe also have a contest to encourage them to get their friends and acquaintances to join the Hive community.

I would recommend using a different metric than upvotes, as they are not always a true measure of quality.  I would recommend using something like engagement (for example comments).

If they are talking about STEM topics, I run the STEMGeeks community and would love to see more STEM posts in our community https://stemgeeks.net.  We also reward STEM posts with our own STEM token in addition to Hive rewards.

If you have any questions about STEMGeeks, setting up your own community, accounts, or Hive, feel free to hit me up.

Thanks. The majority of my students are engineering, so the STEM community would be a great place for some of them to participate. 

I’m a STEM guy too, so I’ll check it out as well. 

I noticed a post on LeoFinance where they’re tracking  engagement via numerous different stats. Maybe I’ll do a weighted average of a couple different measures. 

Thanks again!
