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 world. I just

Week Four Story: The Bridge

The bridge between the Mainland and Lanka is a magical sight. This is Rama's bridge. Although it has been thousands of years since the creation of the bridge connecting the two regions, the bridge is still used by many. People say it used to connect what is now Sri Lanka and India, the gorgeous limestone meets the rock and the earth so wonderfully. It is mostly a tourist spot now, but peoples say that the rocky islands were constructed by Nala, son of Vishwakarman , the "divine artisan," in order to allow enemies to cross the ocean. This was allegedly demanded by the God of Ocean to keep things fair and reasonable. This small series of islands that create a land bridge between the two countries serves a special purpose in my life, however. I grew up along this land bridge, and I know more secrets of the bridge than many. I know what wars have been fought and won because of this bridge. I know of what Rama and Sita faced during the creation of this bridge, and the p
