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.

Although I am a coach on a team of boys and girls, I primarily focus on my attention on the ladies on the team. Although I chose to not wrestling in college, I spent the majority of my life around wrestling and was competitive from ages 10 to 18. I was born and raised here in Norman, so it has always been a dream of mine to obtain a degree from OU. I have one dog but would certainly love to get more. Her name is Verona and she is a Lab/Pitbull mix that showed up one day and never left. One of my major interests is in American Sign Language; I took two years in college and I wish I could afford to take more classes. I love knowing another language, it makes me feel more connected to the worl...

Week Twelve Story: Leave It to the Rabbits

"Huh, so it is really happening." I sighed as I looked up at the sky. "The sky is actually falling". All of us in the rabbit community knew that this day would come. Global warming has been an issue since the early 1990s, and well, we are way past the point of return nearly 200 years later. Humans are long gone. All that remains is the technology that they put in place to mitigate the harmful effects of the UV rays. We have heard jokes and tales of people mistaking falling objects for the sky falling, but it appears that the human's attempt at rebuilding the ozone has finally collapsed in on itself. I guess we knew it would happen, that the bubble would burst, but no one knew it would be this soon. I stand and watch on the muggy street corner near my childhood rabbit hole as thin slices of some sort of engineered plastic fall from the sky. The sun shines through the holes in the bubble that appear small to the eye but must be half a mile wide. The rays are ...
