Myth Folklore

From the article 3 Steps to Recapture Time ,  the most important thing I took away from it was the first 15 minutes. When Joynicole Martinez talked about how you can't plan a trip if you don't know the destination it really spoke to me. I think that's very true in a lot of instances. I like how she says you shouldn't overload yourself with a lot of things to do and you should break each thing up 3 to 4 times. The other article I read was the Four Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination  . I really enjoyed this one because I am a person that procrastinates a lot. The first question is such a simple thing but the effect of it starts your entire day. Just by doing one thing to start you are ready to control everything.  The third one related to me because I am a person that always tries to find the easiest way to do something and this article basically condones that. The fourth one was a little intense but still had the right idea. If I don't think about my ac...

I already am familiar with a couple things like bookmarking. I bookmarked the calendar for this class the very first day because it seemed like I needed it. Everything else though seems new to me. I've never blogged before or edited an image before. I have definitely not created my own graphic which sounds really complicated. Connections across the world with the use of technology, Source This class is very different from any other online class I've had. The other classes usually just have Learn Smart in it and quizzes every week. With this class I feel like I will learn in a different way. I'll be challenged to be creative and learn more about technology which I think is a good idea in a online class.

The assignment I am most intrigued by has to be the main project or even the story telling. I've never been a person that creates stories or anything like that so this will be completely new to me. I am excited for the reading because it somewhat resembles what I have done in other classes but otherwise everything in this class is basically new to me. I have never had a class where you are the one basically choosing your own assignment. Also, the storytelling aspect is completely unique too because I am being graded on telling a story. Knowledge The biggest extra credit that grabs my attention and sounds the coolest is the Wikipedia Trails. I have always wondered through Wikipedia by just clicking on random links so for me to get extra credit off of that is amazing. The tech tips sounds interesting to me too because of my major and you basically get extra credit for learning things that will make this class easier.

I have never heard about this idea before until now. It sounds very interesting to me because no one has ever taught me anything like that before. If I was to be a kid in school now or a parent of a child in school then I would want to learn like this. The most important thing that a child can hear is that they haven't failed. With this ideology it's just saying they haven't succeeded yet. That's huge for a child's growth as you can see from what happens to the kids in Chicago. I may fail but I am never a failure. (From the Growth Mindset memes blog ) They get scared of failure so they try to find other ways around it instead of just learning. I remember when I was a kid if I had gotten a low score on a test then I would look around and find out if I was the lowest score. It made me happy to know I wasn't the lowest score because that's the ultimate failure.  I think if growth mindset was applied to schools more then there would be an upward tren...

Hi, my name is Mohammad Noon. My major is MIS and the coolest thing about my major is that I can do so many different things with it. It is a very interesting major and I'm glad I chose it.  This summer I did a lot of traveling. To start of the summer I went to New York City with two of my friends and while I was there I decided to make an spontaneous trip to Washington D.C. which also happens to be my favorite place .  When I came back from there my mom had recently went to Pakistan to visit family leaving my sister and me. We both missed her after three days so we decided to make another spontaneous trip to Pakistan to surprise her there. It's always fun to leave the country but the long plane rides are the hardest things to do.  The World, Source  When I came back I had another trip planned to Atlanta and I stayed there for a couple days. After I came back some of my friends wanted to do a trip to the Grand Canyon but I was too tired so I pulled...

Paradise City, Source: NetSeawolf's Deviant Art Siren, City in the Clouds As soon as I started reading this story I was intrigued by it. I have always wondered about cities in the future and what they would be like. The title immediately grabbed my attention because of its descriptiveness and even the name of the city sounded intriguing. The introduction does grab my attention because of the way it describes the city. By saying its "full of lights" and that there is always something happening it makes me want to read more about it. The design of the blog is very bold and the descriptions for the other parts of the story help guide me through it easily.  Remember the Alamo! This story's narrator is what made me want to read it. Also the historic part of this makes me want to read about it to find out if it is true or not. I have always wondered about the Alamo and by finding a story about it it makes me want to learn as well. The picture is an old pho...

          My favorite place is Washington D.C. I was born on the border of D.C. and Virginia. My whole childhood I was only 5 minutes away from the capitol of the nation. It is an amazing place where a lot of history has taken place. It's where our laws are created and passed, where our highest court is, and the most incredible museums are located. Washington Monument and the Reflecting Pool Source: Image           Another reason why I love it so much is that all my childhood friends are there. I keep in contact with them all the time and I have gone back home every year for the past 4 years. I went twice this past year and its always a blast to be with old friends and go visit old places that meant so much to me as a child. I one day hope to live there for at least a little bit because I loved it so much.
