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.

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher

Introduction to a Women's Wrestling Coach and Future Teacher Hey everyone! My name is Mikayla Chandler. I am a secondary language arts education major going into my senior year here at OU. In addition to being a full-time student, I am also in my first year of coaching wrestling. 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 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...
