(A picture of a random phone notification.  Photo by Tim Wilson ) For my last tech tip, I downloaded the Canvas app after deleting it because it was glitching last semester and would not let me sign in. I have the Canvas notifications turned off because I personally hate my phone blowing up constantly, and I get the same notifications through my OU email. Not having the notifications on is just my preference when it comes down to it. However, I do check canvas multiple times a day to see if I have missed anything that did not come through as an email notification.

I have backed up my website and blog to my computer. I am also still on track to make the grade I want at the end of the semester.  My favorite graphic this week was from the announcement on Thursday . It was in the growth mindsets cat section. I honestly did not really find a graphic this week that was truly my favorite, so I chose my favorite cat picture because cats are cute! (Just a photo of a cat for my enjoyment.  Photo by Neverending September ) The video I chose this week was on Saturday's announcement . The video was called " Ma - The Mother Goddess ." This video explained how the Mother Goddess in a big cultural symbol in India. She represents many things and has big presence.

(A picture that encompasses the theme of this blog post.  Photo by Alexander Baxevanis ) As of right now, I am happy with my grades in this class. I am usually about a week ahead of schedule by the end of each week. I have achieved this by taking advantage of the extra credit opportunities. I am not going to lie, I have not really stuck to my schedule too well, but I just have such a different schedule from week to week, so it is hard for me to stick to one specific schedule. Lately, I have been trying to work ahead of my personalized schedule. My favorite assignments in this class are probably the writings. I am not a good writer, but I have found myself enjoying writing and using my creativity.  For the second half of the semester, I plan to get ahead of schedule during spring break. I am taking some difficult science classes this semester, so I am going to take advantage of the opportunity to get ahead in this class while I can, so I can focus on my science c...

I think the feedback I am getting from my peers is great, I think we are all trying our best to help each other improve. I think my favorite feedback is when people ask me questions to think about. These questions make me consider things differently and sometimes they spark new ideas. I also love it when people comment my typos. I feel like I probably should be embarrassed about publishing something with typos, but for me whether I read it over and over or read it out loud or do both at the same time I still tend to miss things because I know what I meant to say and might just pass over the issues.  I think the feedback I am giving is decent. I am not a great writer and am trying to get better myself, so I am trying to leave constructive criticism for my peers. I have found that following the WWW and TAG methods are really helpful. I think I am leaving good feedback all in all. I think the blog comments do give me a sense of getting to know my classmates. For example, on m...

I have looked over my blog and website to review the current designs and layouts. For my blog, I have slowly changed and added things to make it look how I want it to and look good as well. I think I have changed the theme two or three times, and I have finally settled on the current theme because I love the colors and floral design. Floral designs are very much me, so I love it! In the sidebar, I have added two countdown widgets and a weather widget. I recently just moved the countdowns from the top of the sidebar to below my profile in the sidebar, now it looks way better. Overall, I am really happy with my blog design and layout. For my portfolio website, I tried to go for a simpler theme. My background is white and clean. However, I have gone through several different banner pictures for the homepage, but I think I have finally settled on one. For the two stories, I knew exactly which banner photos I wanted to use, but on the second one I actually had to take and edit the photo to ...
