Growth Mindset: The Interview

I was fortunate enough to talk to my friend Naomee about Growth Mindset. Naomee previously took Epics of India, so she was familiar with growth mindset; therefore, I wanted to find out whether or not growth mindset has impacted her life since she has taken the class. During our conversation she was telling me that with the creativity of the class and learning about various growth mindset concepts she was able to apply it to her studies and other aspects of her life enabling her to grow as an individual. She actually challenged me to pursue a growth mindset. Adopting a growth mindset is something that will help me not only during my last semester, but also outside of school.

Week 7 Wikipedia Trails: From Durvasa to Mandar Parvat

Image
The first topic I wanted to search on Wikipedia was Durvasa . He is a sage that casts curses on people, while also sometimes rarely giving people blessings. He is known for being ill tempered and he was a major reason why the churning of the ocean needed to be done. Then from Durvasa I clicked on the Samudra manthan . This is an episode that involves the churning of the ocean found within the Mahabharata Bhavagata Purana. It is interesting that this is found in several different sources and how the telling of the story may be a little different in each source. From there I clicked on Mount Mandara . Mount Mandara was actually used as the churning rod by the gods and demons to churn the ocean. Lastly, I clicked on the Mandar Parvat , which is a small mountain within the district of Bihar. Supposedly, this may have been Mount Mandara that was used to churn the ocean.                                 ...

My Assignments

Image
The setup for the class is really different and interesting from any other class I have taken. I am looking forward to the assignments for the class. I am ready for the Reading assignments. I am unfamiliar with Indian epics and I can not wait to begin reading these books. Another type of assignment that I will enjoy is the Storytelling aspect. Through storytelling I will be able to recollect the stories I have read, while adding a creative element that I have created. I also love the idea of having extra credit. For a matter of fact I do not know a student who does not like extra credit. One of the extra credits I am looking forward to is the Wikipedia Trails. I believe the skill of clicking on links within Wikipedia comes naturally to me. One moment I am looking up a cell on Wikipedia for an assignment, then somehow I end up looking at Rottweilers. Having a variety of assignments like these keep the class extremely interesting and I am looking forward to the various class assig...

Tech Tip Week 13: Class Announcements Email

Image
I am glad I just subscribed to the class announcements. I like how with this class we are able to view announcements and it is always a great experience looking at them. I like how many times are there funny pictures and interesting videos to watch within the announcements. That is one thing that sets this class apart from many others. It also brings color and life to the class page on Canvas. As of right now I do not have any advice to make your announcements even better than they already are. However, if the opportunity does come, I will make sure to give out recommendation on how to improve the Canvas announcements page.                                                                               A picture of a notepad with announcements.
