Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

This week I decided to check out the Tech Tip regarding Canvas Dashboard. I finally figured out how you can edit the site to show your grades on the courses home page without having to go into the course to do so. I also configure the title and picture of your courses. It wasn't that difficult but it was something I did not know and now that i do know about it i will continue to toy with the settings more and more to make it feel more personable for me.

Week 8: Comments and Feedback

Image
The feedback that I have been receiving on my stories have been really efficient in helping me become a better writer. A good amount of the comments have been positive and inspiring with some of the comments highlighting my creativity and plot of the story. Some other comments have been really helpful and make me focus on what I can improve on in the next story. I admit that I have some grammatical errors and misspellings that I have to work on and I wouldn't have caught the mistakes if not for the responses I have been getting. I think the WWW and TAG methods are really effective because it allows the readers not to sugarcoat their opinions about your story and actually listen to their input because they could have the missing element that will make your story become a story that will be used as an example for other classes to based their stories on. Outside of that, I feel that I have been connected with the other students in the class due to their blog posts because the way they...

Week 9 Story: Peasant Marries Princess

Image
Governor Bob of McCastland had a daughter named Amelia who was the definition of beauty and brains. She was on track to graduate medical school and work in the field after school which was typically expected. Back in her days as an undergrad student, Amelia was active in on-campus organizations and the Ms. McCastland pageant. She won the competition and by a landslide, to not that many folks' surprise. It was that day that a janitor named Sam decided that he will do whatever it takes for Amelia to be his wife. Sam went to the same university as Amelia but had to withdraw from the school due to financial reasons. Sam had been trying to get back into the school ever since he withdrew because he shared the same ambitions as Amelia but the obstacles that he faced were standing between him and her. Before Sam withdrew from the university, he was enrolled in a class with Amelia and her then boyfriend. They were in a group together for a semester-long project and that happened to be the...

Reading Notes: Jamaica Anansi Stories B

After reading the B side of this unit, I have decided to highlight some parts of a couple of stories I have found interesting. I feel like this side of the unit has provided me with just as much content. Spider Marries Monkey's Daughter This story reminds me of the overprotective relationship within a family. There are two characters in the story name Bredder Spider, Bredder Monkey, & Breder Green-Lizard. Bredder Monkey does not want Bredder Spider to marry his daughter because he feels that not only is Bredder Spider too fast for them but that he is beneath them as well. As the story starts out lighthearted it quickly turns dark in just a matter of paragraphs. Bredder Spider is eventually killed by Bredder Monkey and takes Spider and the Daughter's baby. My favorite part of the story is when Bredder Monkey tries to collect a group of gentlemen to guess the name of his daughter and they could not figure it out. It was only Bredder Spider that knew her name. Bredde...
