Week 15: Reading Evaluation

Week 15 Reading Evaluation

The readings this semester were great. I really liked and appreciated that we had a choice in what we read. That made this class more interesting and made me want to complete the assignments. It allowed me to actually get into what I was doing and to get something out of it. I also liked doing the weekly reading posts. This let me discuss what I liked and maybe disliked and gave me notes to help me with my storytelling each week.

I liked Aesop's Fables the most. The morals at the end always spoke to me and I liked the creative ways the fables told the stories that led up to the morals. Heck, I liked them so much that I decided to base my storybook around one of Aesop's characters!

The overall balance of reading, writing and commenting was decent. I really liked seeing other student's work and how they interpreted the same assignments. It was cool when we picked the same readings for the week.

As far as advice about reading goes, getting it done sooner is better! It's one more thing you don't have to worry about and it is also fun to do, so why not just get it done?

Week 15: Reflections

Week 15 Reflections

I am the most proud of learning to blog in this class. It has definitely been a stress-reliever and it has been enjoyable to learn about the different things you can do with a blog. I truly enjoyed doing the readings and writing each week, as well as doing the extra credit assignments. This has been my favorite online class by far and maybe even my favorite class at OU.

The most valuable take-aways from the class are the things I have learned from the assignments. I really enjoyed being able to challenge myself and know that I can accomplish things outside of my comfort zone. I also enjoyed the extra credit assignments. Being able to look back on the week, learn about blogs and technology, learn about the growth mindset...and the list goes on. It all helped me in areas other than just this class, which has been so valuable to not only my studies, but also my life in general.

Growth Mindset: Week 15

For this week I looked at memes again. Last week's meme really got me thinking and so I wanted to do some more exploring.
This one really stuck out.

I've been doing a lot of thinking recently about where I'd like to go post-graduation. I'm not exactly sure of what I want to do and I've been struggling with that. With the growth mindset I know that I just need to learn from what I'm doing and how I'm feeling and set up goals and a path to understand where I want to be in a few months. 

I need to think about the big picture and how I'm going to get there. This helps me in school and in life. I'd like to have a successful semester and I will do so by learning from my mistakes of this past semester and keep growing from there. I want to have a job post-graduation and will make goals and a plan to accomplish this.

Tech Tip: Pinterest Board & Pinterest Embedded (Pin and Board)

I have used Pinterest before (and am an avid user) and boy, do I love it. It's so convenient and filled with so many ideas and recipes. I love organizing different pins and ideas and having boards dedicated to specific categories.

I also enjoyed looking through Laura's Pinterest! I love the cat photos - they're so adorable and some cracked me up.

This was definitely my favorite pin.



Here's the board I created for my tech tip!
