hi @Kemmy99 glad to be back.

There is an existing Lesson Plan but it looks like a revision is required. I'm not clear as to what. @courtneyr-dev are you able to confirm what needs to be amended on this lesson plan?

Kemmy99 commented 2 years ago

Hello @courtneyr-dev please what am i to do with this lesson plan, is it to revise or to write? Thanks!

azhiya commented 2 years ago

Hi @Kemmy99 I've added the link to the Google doc that you put in Slack. Please update this on the Lesson plan and repost it for review. Don't forget if you are working on any content that has already been published, please check out the plugin #meta created for us, it’s like a pull request inside the WP editor.

Kemmy99 commented 2 years ago

Hello Hauwa, Trust you are fine. i could not post the Lesson plan on https://learn.wordpress.org/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=lesson-plan because the Re-usable block template is not showing on my own dashboard. Is there something i am doing wrongly. I have the Re-useable block on Make but not on Learn. Thanks Kemi Makinde

I dont really understand what to do. i am trying to get it right please. Choosing and installing plugins The image shows what i have gotten on it on my dashboard. Thanks

azhiya commented 2 years ago

Hi @Kemmy99 my understanding is that you are updating the current lesson plan on Learn. Is that correct?

Kemmy99 commented 2 years ago

Good morning Hauwa, I asked a question on the Github about this update but I didn't get any response. The lesson plan is totally different from what already exist. I need clarification on it.

Thanks.

Hello @Kemmy99,

What are you looking to change/update in this lesson plan? Could you please share your thoughts on this?

The only thing I noticed in this lesson plan is missing the example lesson.

AFAIK this lesson plan is updated 4-5 months ago. and Somehow we missed closing this issue.

Thanks

Kemmy99 commented 10 months ago

Hello Hauwa, Its good to hear from you after a year. I have been off the group for a year. I was pregnant at that time but lost the baby, so I just took time off for myself. I want to come back but I realise I am lost in the pull of information. Where can I start from especially now that I know what I want to be doing for the group? I am not a tech person, am into communication but I can translate our lesson plans to Pidgin. Where do I fit in again and where do I start from?

Thank you for reaching out to me.

Hi Kemi. Wow, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a rough time you've had. Let me connect with you in Slack. I'd like to help you get up to speed with translating content again. We can discuss next steps there.
