Course Technology

 

As I have said several times before, having taken this course previously, I know about a lot of the technology that is used in the class. I still have the same tune-ups on my computer as I did from the past semester. Since there are really no first impressions here for me, I will just write about how much of a game-changer it has been for me in my everyday writing and work to have the recommended tune-ups, browser add-ons, and software that Laura recommends. These are all very simple fixes that make a world of a difference for the average college student. I am not sure why, but I have never had a word count or spell check extension on my laptop... and I am an English major. I think taking this course has been incredibly beneficial to me as a preservice teacher going into a world of teaching that may very well go fully online. The world of education has been expanded to include online opportunities, and so I need to be ready for that. Overall, I really recommend that everyone take the advice given in this class very seriously because even though it does not seem like much, it makes a world of a difference. My biggest recommendation is to install Grammarly! It is really helpful and has made a difference in my writing.

I also saw a lot about this topic in the previous topics, as well as the readings. I think that there is plenty of resources online and through the course, material to learn plenty about the topic, such as  The Women of the Ramayana . I think that there is a lot to learn from the perspective of women throughout Indian literature, folklore, and stories. I have some previous knowledge on this topic from a World Literature class, but my knowledge is limited. The Animals of Indian Epics:      I am very interested in how Indian Epics use animals for storytelling, to convey a metaphor, and as actors to tell "grown-up stories". After reading  Animals of Indian Mythology  I figured that there must be cultural importance to certain animals, as ...

Week Thirteen: Back up and Review

  Thoughts:     Some of my favorite videos on the internet are Crash Course videos. I LOVE these videos as a classroom tool. I really enjoy learning more about history through different avenues, and I really feel that Crash Course History has some of the most accessible lessons on the internet. I learned that basically anywhere there is a civilization, there is likely to be a historical flood associated with that civilization. Almost every major civilization we know of has been ravished by a flood, and they always see it as symbolic in some sort of lore. This is my last blog post for the semester and my last post for this class ever. I have taken this class twice now, so I am sort of attached to this class in a weird way since it has been part of my daily routine for the last year, practically. Overall, as my last post, I just wanted to say how grateful I am to have this course as an option for my Gen-ed course work.  Video:    Flood Legends of the Americas...
