Technology Assignment

The world revolves around the utilization of technology these days. Without it many young people would find themselves without much of the entertainment that we so readily use on a daily basis. Not only is technology a great window for entertainment, but it is also important to keep in mind the potential it has for furthering education. This class is a great example of this. Not only is this an entirely online course, but we are using various types of online forums in order to further our education and success within the class. While I have a lot of experience with blogging from other classes I've taken since being in college, one tool that caught my attention is bookmarking. I love bookmarking. I'm not sure if my habit of bookmarking almost everything I've come across on the internet is healthy or is beginning to turn into a full blown addiction. Nevertheless, bookmarking is the perfect way to ensure that you can easily find what you were once looking at online. Before discovering it, I had such a hard time rediscovering pages and websites that I once traveled to in the past that may not pop up on Google on the first search attempt. Bookmarking is a perfect resolution for this problem!

Week 14 Story Lab

This week for my story lab I decided to do some additional research for my last Storybook entry. My story is a take on The Jungle Book and focuses primarily on Mowgli's point of view as he navigates the ins and outs of life in the jungle. I decided to base my story on the first Chapter of the Jungle Book, Mowgli's Brothers. I briefly read the story before writing my piece but decided to go back and do some additional more in-depth research of the story before making my corrections and adding additional details. Here are some of the things I was able to find: 1. The story starts the evening prior to the morning in my story. I can either stick with this idea or keep it the way I have it. If I wanted to elongate the story, I could always start it the evening before as well. 2. There are ALOT of details and ALOT of imagery used in the first sentence alone. Maybe I can try and add more details to grab the attention of the reader. 3. Just like my story, there are brief instances ...

Week 13 Story (Nursery Rhyme Remix)

Babes In The Wood: My love, did you hear, How in a land so near, Two poor little kids, Whose names don't appear, Were stolen away on a brisk autumn's day, And left in a wood, near the church where we pray. And when it was cold , And there hearts grew less bold, The sun it went down, And the stars came around. They shivered and they shook, and they hugged in a nook, And the poor little ones, the'r short life was done. And when they were gone, The world was so wrong Brought strawberry-leaves And sang a sad song, And all the day long They sung all along: "Poor babes in the wood! The babes were so good! And don't you remember the babes in the wood?" (Babes In The Wood) Chaucer's Little Hugh: Old Mother Duck, when She wanted to roam, Would ride through the sea On a very fine stone. Mother Duck had a home, But was never alone, With an owl at the door A job he stood for. This is her son Matt, A plain-looking boy, And yet very fat, Though filled wi...
