Tech tip theme

I made a google site in a previous class but I never really new how to customize the theme on it. With this tech tip I decided to change the background color to gray. The original color of my site was white. Even though gray is not much of change, I believe it really made the site look better. It is not too plain or too extravagant. It still looks professional and clean.

Curation: Week 8

#curation

 I found this image below when trying to find images of the God Krishna. Even though I did not use this image in my previous stories, it stuck with me. I think it really portrays the majestic and rich tone of Indian epics.

 While researching the God Krishna, I came across this website. It gave me a nice background to the God Krishna -- God Krishna.

I saw this image below on facebook and it made me laugh. It also made me think about his class and how we have proofread our stories and our peer's stories.

Growth Mindset: Week 8

I did the editing challenge this week. In this challenge I was asked to shortened my writing. This was kind of difficult for me. I tend to write more than is necessary. My writing can be kind of wordy. I believe I write like this because I like to emphasize my ideas and to do that I like to repeat myself. Although this challenge was difficult, it was very beneficial. It taught me to be more concise and clear.

Reading Plan

My reading plan for the next 6 weeks is to continue on focusing on the God Krishna. My portfolio is going to be mainly about Krishna so by committing to stories about Krishna it will help me write my stories for my portfolio project.

Reflections: Looking Foward

Some new things I would like to try are having my friends read my storytelling or portfolio before I post it, reading more than what is required of me, and adding more style or formatting onto my blog. I think that by having my friends peer edit my posts, my posts and stories would be better grammatically and creatively. I enjoy all of the stories that I am reading so I kind of wish to reade more of it. Right now my blog is pretty plain. I want to maybe spruce it up a little. I believe that this will attract more readers.

Reflections: Looking Back

My favorite part of this class is reading my classmate's posts. I really enjoy reading their introductions. It hard to get know your classmates in an online class so the introductions really helped me to get an idea of who my classmates are. I also really reading my classmate's storytelling. I like reading and seeing how the story was changed. It really let's me see how creative my classmates are.

I generally do this online at my apartment. My schedule is pretty fast paced and hectic so when I do have time I am usually at my apartment. I like to use this time to work on this online class. This class does not really stress me out but rather it is kind of relaxing.

I also enjoy doing the storytellings. I feel like it is improving my creativity and writing. It is kind of fun making up your own stories.
