Class Procedures and Reminders
Ask questions. Please feel free to contact me with questions at any time, and if I happen to be online, I will write you back right away. Asking questions is how you learn... and it helps me know what things I need to explain more clearly about the class. So, no need to apologize at all: if you have a question, just ask!
Blog links and images. I wanted to remind everybody to make sure you are creating clickable links with link text in your blog posts. Instead of just pasting in the http address, it's much more useful to create your own text link! More info here: Links in Blogger.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. Here's another great picture from a "favorite places" post; this time it is one of Madison's pictures of Scotland: Scotland, Both City and Country.
Free Audiobook. Today's free audiobook is A Book of Fairy-Tale Bears by Clifton Johnson. This is a collection of fairy tales from different countries that feature bear characters!
Featured Storybook. This Storybook is a wonderful combination of history and legend: Queen Eleanor is imprisoned, and the visits of storytellers from around the world provide her only solace.
India Video. And here's a video from Epified about Sacred Trees, with an emphasis on the sacred trees of Indian tradition.
India Item. This is an ancient Indian proverb about trees: The tree does not withdraw its shade even from the woodcutter.
Writing. Anyone with bad handwriting can relate to this: Perils of Cursive... a lemon is NOT a demon. :-)
Growth Mindset Cats. You'll be learning about growth mindset today, and I'll be sharing a new growth mindset cat each day in the announcements: I am excited by new ideas.
Creativity is part of a growth mindset too, so here's A Bigger Definition of Creativity.
Event on Campus. It's International Students Game Night tonight in Farzaneh Hall 6PM-8PM with games, snacks and fun! (details)
Find out more about this and other events at the Campus Calendar online.
