Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I replied to all the assignments turned in before Friday, and if you turned something in on Friday, you'll be at the top of the stack on Monday. While you are waiting on comments back from me about your Project assignment, you can check the stack to make sure I received your email, and I'll update the stack periodically over the weekend.
Extra Credit. There are lots of Tech Tips that you can do for extra credit. I'd highly recommend the Blogger Template Tech Tip: it's a way you can experiment with your current blog design, and it might also be helpful if you are thinking you might use a blog website for your class project. Find out more in the extra credit section of this week's assignments.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Class Twitter. From yesterday's Twitter @OnlineMythIndia, here is a Venn diagram about ikigai, and you can find out more at Wikipedia. I feel really lucky that my job is pretty well situated there at the intersection of all four dimensions: it's ikigai.
Proverb. Most of the Latin in Harry Potter is not correct Latin, but the motto of Hogwarts is very nice: Never tickle a sleeping dragon.. Draco dormiens numquam titillandus.
Story of the Day. Today's story is from Aesop's fables: The Wolf in Shepherd's Clothing. You've probably heard the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing," but in this story, the wolf disguises himself as a shepherd.
Video: The video for today is a public service announcement from India: What Gods Wear Before They Ride. The PSA was produced by the India Head Injury Foundation.
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat is looking for inspiration: The creative process starts with making observations. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
Event on Campus: Bizzell Library is open from 9AM until 9PM on Saturdays; if you have not seen all the great new study spaces downstairs in the HCLC, go take a look! (details).
