Tech Tip: Twitter

Lets Mingle

Technology is developing each and every day, but the biggest social media that a lot of college students use is twitter. If a student needs to know the news they go to twitter, if they want to vent they go to twitter, and if they want to connect with friends they go to twitter. So, I think next time maybe doing the class and including a project where a student makes a twitter account (private) only for the classmates to look and comment at. I would of enjoyed that simply because it is easy to go to all the different tabs in twitter, direct message, and retweet/retweet with a comment on how a person feel about the tweet. Twitter grows each and every day and us students are so deep in social media, that is a place where we do OUR BLOGGING.

Readin Notes EC: The Rainy Season

Rainy Season 

This story is about a king named Sugriva and he wants to help Rama on a quest but the problem is the rain is stopping Sugriva from keeping his promise he made to Rama. Trying to enter the city he has to wait for the wilderness to clear. In this story the storyline is different from a lot of the other stories i read, but the more i read the more i started to like this one. There was a lot of dailouge in the story between Rama , Sugriva and two other men in the story. I think overall this story meant well and Sugriva was able to help Rama.

Reading Notes Part A: Don't Look To Close

I think an interesting story that I would read is called "Third Eye". This tale is about Shiva's third eye. This eye has always fascinated people and it stood directionally in the middle of the head. The third eye In the middle of Shiva's head was so powerful it could wipe the entire world out. There was so many assumptions with Shiva that it made it hard for people to even be friends because they were always worrying. This story caught my eye because weird stuff interest me.

Famous Last Words: Life

I am Blessed

Coming into the last week of this class I feel a sign of relief from not only school, but life as a whole. I have never been this frustrated with school then i have been this year. I think the closer i get to finishing up this four year degree the more overwhelmed I get with life. I fight each and every day to get through the week and try my very best in very thing I do. But somehow there is not enough time for me to do anything in a day. Being in college i noticed the time moves faster than when being in grade school. This semester has not only been overwhelming but it has been one of the interesting times of my life, i have opened a lot of new doors and closed a lot of toxic doors. I hope by this time next year God will bless me with everything I been asking for. But only time will tell. I have learned a lot in this class and I feel like being able to learn in a different way has brought out another side of me I never thought I knew. I could go on and on about how I have changed since this past year, but I just want everybody to know that I enjoyed this class even though I slacked for two weeks I been pushing through this semester and it is slowing coming to an end. I would recommend anybody to take this class simply because the way she teaches this is totally different from the rest of the professors at the University of Oklahoma. This is a new aspect of learning and I think it helps a person grow when it comes to different learning aspect. In a classroom setting it sometimes is harder to learn but being able to learn on the internet and interact with people helps a person grow and help expand their learning aspects in different classroom settings.   

growth mindset:Progress

Push Through

Coming into this class i thought it was going to be easy with a little bit of work to do. But as the weeks went by I noticed my time management with this course was becoming out of hand and it was getting harder for me to include this class with the rest of my hard classes. this class ask for to much and a lot of the links have me confused on what they are asking of me. but overall I made it through after 16 weeks and I am so happy to almost be done with this semester.

Tech Tip: Canvas Calendar

i think this is a good tool for the class were in and canvas is easy to go through then D2l. but i think Canvas should send us reminderings to our phone when things in class are due because my time managing and reminding that things are due is bad because we do not get reminded. This would help a lot for my connect homework in class because we never get reminded that it is coming up.

week 14: The Girl Face Elephant

Watch Me

Testing one to act out of character is a good way to see if their head strong or very influenced by other people around them. So, in this story their is a sweet ole elephant that is being played about him being to nice and sweet. Then one day his own demerer was switched by listening from a different points of view on how he was supposed to act. Hearing somebody talk about you and how you should be could hurt you as an individual.

Being in a situation where you have no control over it will drive a person crazy and usually after a person has did them bad activities comes to realize what they did was out of character. A person should not let other people effect them in away where things will be up going wrong. But this is a lot of the times people need to pick and choose their battles wisely.

Men: Aye why do you think the elephants is so big but so scared to do anything

• the men all laugh
• Men: I tell you guys all the time that just because a person is big does not mean they are what people perceive them to be.
• Different Men: I know, but i want to see some action

Days went by and the elephant sat there and thought about all the nasty thing those people said about him and how could he be so big and not do anything. But in reality that is not what the elephant wanted. But at the end of the day so many people will judge people off of their likings and well beings. Trying to think other people's problems helps brings out a person emotional and most of the time the do not need to be expressed.

Its crazy that a person can listen to a group of men and act the way they hear because they know no better. In this story an elephant lived in a stall and loved his owner but one nights his whole mind set changed. One night there were these men that jumped over the fence and they were trying to rob person and they said some of the nasites things you could think of. And the elephant not knowing any better liked what they were saying. In the elephants head he heard them say spare nobody, take their life, be mean and cruel. So, the next day the keeper of the elephant came of the see the animal and he attacked him with no warning then the other person heard him killing him and tried to help but ending up getting killed to. So, there was this one keeper that was trying to find out why the elephant was acting like this. And he was like maybe the elephant heard some bad things so of he was to bring positive people around him it might change the attitude of the elephant and to be honest that was all the elephant needed. Some positivity !

Author's Note: I think the author was really trying to preach a real life story that happened in their lifetime . We all know that human beings are very talked into things it is not that easy that things are happening. I think the author was trying to tell us that pressure is hard when a person is trying to prove something to people. And its crazy that after the elephant did what he did, People want to be confused on how the owner died, But all that nasty talking about him drove him up the wall. And after those men see what the elephant was capable of they felt so bad about what they said to each other the night before. I find this story fun to read because of the simply fact there are so many thrills that make a person be intact to it.

Reading Part B: Prabhavati the Princess

Princess

This story is about a princess that gets her way all the time. Two people in this story are Krishna and Indra who have a son but the kid is Krishna's son named Pradyumna. This son is not just no normal son, Pradyumna has  magical powers and he is able to shape-shift. Later on in the story their son uses his powers to shape shift into Vajranabh's palace in a simple disguise and he marries Asura's daughter named Prabhavati. 

Famous Last Words: Trying to push Through

Last week reading, i was not able to do. But doing the project for the week helped me work on my sentence structure and grammar. Usually my best work is done whenever i do my different readings on stories. I like to remake my stories from a story i read. As far, with reading other peoples work i come across a lot of reading and remakes that are really good to. especially if it is a popular story i see a remake of it and it is interesting to read and see everybody's view on stories. My reasoning for getting so lazy with this class is because i am a biology major and a lot of my classes have been getting harder each day. There are times throughout the week i have mental breakdowns because of all the things i have going on in other classes. But i see a small connection with the amount of writing i have to do in my other classes. there are some connections on the way to write things but as far as similar material no. And this weekend on campus i attended a Probate and got entertainment from some sororities putting on a show, it was like an introduction to being included into the greekdom life. Going to things like this warm my heart and it is pure entertainment. For this week in class i hope to do all my assignments in this class and work on time management. 

Reading Notes: Part B (Dhritarshtra and Pandu)

In this story called Dhritarashtra and Pandu there is a king that goes by the name of King Pandu and he is the ruler of his kingdom. He had two wives that he married and one of his wives named Kunti was of celestial origin but her mother was a nymph; and her father was a holy brahmin. In the story a palace was built and she ministered unto the king faithfully, with servings of food at any hour. This story was a great story that dealt with a lot of love and confusion but in the end a good ending happened.

Thinking crazy thoughts will make a person act crazy and become very timid to a lot of situation. So, one day there was this rabbit that was already edge with everything because he believed the earth would one day fall apart. Nobody could tell him difference he dreamt of it so he believed it. One day, these monkey were in the tree and they had a coconut they were about to eat when it fall out the tree and landed on the ground.

"Week 8 Progress"

I have happy with my progress, I never knew an online class to be this confusing but each week I start to get the hang or it more. I like my progress with being able to base my short tales off a story that was written. I never knew blogging could be this fun! My weekly routine is still all over the place, but I am trying my best to balance it. I have not started using any extra credit, but I think I need to do a few extra credit to make up for that one week.

"Week 8 Comments and Feedback

1.       In this class anybody is allowed to comment on my post and I feel like the word count helps a lot with the quality of feedback I receive on the different assignments we have to do. I like to read people’s opinions or suggestions on my work, because it helps me see how the reader views my work. The comments that were most useful would be in the projects we are doing, they help me see if I need to add more or take some things out in my project. Since this is a big project a lot of different feedback from people helps mold a good project.

2.       I feel like my comments and feedback give the writer a different view on my thoughts and it also helps them brainstorm more than from their initial thoughts. Good feedback strategies would be to focus on the main parts of the writing and make sure everything flows well and makes sense from start to finish. Looking at other’s writing and giving feedback helps my juices in my brain run too.

3.       I do not get a sense of getting to know people by blogs because when I am on the computer it is in a more literature stance than a social connecting aspect. But I am happy with my introduction post, I like to share my life with people especially if things in my life are the reason to my happiness.

4.       I think my feedback is pretty good, I like give back feedback because that helps the writer expand their mind. I do not want to make any chances to my blog. I would only like to chance the basic look that we started off with and I want to make it more of my personality.

I picked this picture because other people's feedback helps we brain storm and get my juices in my head working. You can say feedback for me helps me think outside the box. There may have been a thought I had but could ever wrap my finger around it and reading their feedback could spark that thought back up.

"Week 8 Reading and Writing"

1.     

  Looking back: Throughout the semester, the reading and writing assignments were interesting and sometimes were hard to pick and navigate through the website we used for this class. But I enjoyed finding stories that dealt with animals and remaking the story or even writing up a summary of the story. My favorite reading so far has been the one’s that deals with “Ramayana: Dasharatha's Karma. This story has to deal with a father who was cursed to lose his lose in the future”. And yes, the reading notes help we see the overall summary of the story and it makes it easier to write up the same story with different characters in it. A few reading/research strategies I discovered that being able to read a story and take notes on it first will make it a lot easier when it’s time to rewrite it. the researching strategies is still in a working progress because you learn new things about researching every day. Yes, I am happy with my class project, I finally understand how to do it correctly. But I am not sure if we our supposed to have more than one story on it right now? My biggest writing accomplishment in this class would be sentence formatting, and checking for grammatical errors. I think the more I write the better I catch my mess ups.

3.       Looking Forward: I need to take my time in reading through all the instructions to get a full understanding of the assignment. I usually get confused because they’re so many different links to click on and read. But as the weeks past I get more familiar with the way the website is set up.
