Update: As near as I can tell the wiki is happy again, but just in case anyone else runs into trouble, here are alternate links to all the assignments. Let me know if you are having problems with any of that! :-)
Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I'll update the stack periodically this weekend, and you'll be able to check the stack to make sure I received your email. As previously announced, my schedule next week means the Week 9 Project is different than in previous weeks, so be sure to read that information: about the Week 9 assignment.
Extra Credit. If you are pondering some time and attention strategies for the rest of the semester, you might try one of the H.E.A.R.T. challenges; 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, there was lots going on as part of the #WhyIWrite hashtag for the National Day on Writing, including these wise words from Ray Bradbury:
Storybook Archive. This project is from the Myth-Folklore class: Project Humanity. AXKZ-1029 has been put in charge of the "Human Research Program," seeking to understand these strange creatures who had once inhabited the Earth by reading their ancient myths and legends.
Story of the Day. Today's story is an Indian folktale: The Hare in the Moon. A quick-witted little hare invents a trick to drive the elephants away from the pond where the hares live.
Video: The video for today is Alike. If you have 8 minutes to spare, this is a lovely way to spend them! Find out more at Filmnosis.
Growth Mindset: Today's growth mindset cat is aiming high: The higher you climb, the more you can see. You can find out more at the Growth Mindset blog.
Event on Campus: It's the National Weather Festival from 10AM-2PM at the National Weather Center (details). Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
October 21: Bhaj Dooj. Today is the festival of Bhaj Dooj, a holiday for brothers and sisters in honor of Subhadra and her brother Krishna. You can read more about the story at Wikipedia, and at this Hindustan Times article, plus you can follow the Twitter stream today.
