We Need A SUSA Sandbox!

Sandbox: a small space where children play and use their imagination, an open but finite space encouraging exploration and interaction with little threat of harm, a place where you can play without consequences.

Could there be a SUSA Sandbox? An informal gathering in the sandbox of platforms and applications? We need to know more about all those entities we encounter in the webinars and meetings so critical to our lives these days.

A sandbox is not a playground where people gather to actually play games. A sandbox is also not a pop-up that happens “in time of need” that happens when someone needs more people to try something out.

My current sandbox is Zoom; playing around and learning a lot of its potential but I’m in the sandbox alone! Looking for some playmates, imaginative, fun-loving to collaborate in our joint learning and development. An opportunity to share and pool our knowledge as we explore various platforms and applications. Also, a group to support each other when we need to practice using one of the platforms or apps.

I envision two types of sandbox meetings for SIETAR USA members—those planned in advance and those in response to someone wanting to try something out and sending out a spontaneous alert. If you’d like to join this group, please contact me: [email protected].
