For my favorite place I chose Tulsa, Oklahoma because that is where I grew up and have my favorite memories.

    Tulsa is such a wonderful city, Devin! You'll see that I share materials from the Gilcrease Museum in the class announcements; whenever I am in Tulsa, that is a must-see for me: Gilcrease Museum at Twitter

Week 8 Progress

Image
Picture of the word to today with tomorrow crossed out under it. Source:   flickr So far, I would say that I am pretty happy about my progress over the semester. I feel as if my writing ability has gotten a lot better over the time of being in this class which is what I am most proud of. Doing my assignments though have not been as routinely as I would like. Due to such a busy schedule with other classes and work, I am not always ahead of the game as I wish I could be when it comes to the assignments.My schedule is never the same every week so it is hard to do them the same time every week and had to miss a couple assignments here and there.

Week 8 Reading and Writing

When this class started I thought it would be a bit of a challenge constantly coming up with stories and having to write a lot since i'm not a strong writer. As the weeks have gone on though, writing as become much easier and I feel as if I am even more creative. The reading notes I am taking do help for my story but I also do believe I can improve on them a little more. I hope that by the end of this class I will be a writing wiz and able to carry it on throughout my career because writing is such a useful tool to have. I chose the image above as my favorite from my past stories because this image is such an iconic image. Everyone knows and loves Michael Jordan and this image is one of my favorite pictures of him from back in the day.

Feedback strategies

pen and paper source: Wikimedia The two articles I read about feedback were  Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback  by Marshall Goldsmith and  Five Reasons to Stop Saying Good job  by Alfie Kohn. Both these articles talked about different things for feedback but both had the same idea of what feedback should be. Both articles sum up that feedback needs to be more than just a response but something that can be learned from. Five Reasons to Stop Saying Good Job talks more in detail on why praised and simple feedback is not great to do and how feedback should be something to learn from. To explain this children are used and it talks about how if feedback that is all just praise is used to a child their whole life then that can cause the child can turn in a "praise junkie" or ruin their sense of interest in doing things and just care for the reward thus only wanting to do stuff with a reward. The other article Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback talks about more on the...
