Week 8 Progress

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. To make up for those assignments I always do some of the extra credit assignments every week. The major change that I want to make for the second half of the semester is to try to get work done ahead. I would like to be at least a week ahead of schedule all the time so I always have room to do other stuff if needed. With my busy sched...

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

The feedback comments are most helpful when they point out any errors or suggestions on how to fix something within the story. Also i find it helpful when suggestions other ideas to write about the story because it is always nice to see different view points. I believe that the feedback comments that I give are somewhat helpful. I usually try to give some suggestions that I have if possible so that improvements can be made. I'm not the best writer though so it is hard for me to spot mistakes or have suggestions all the time. I enjoy the blog comments on other peoples introductions. I don't believe it gives a full sense of someone because there is so much more to a person that is not able to fit in just one or two paragraphs. I think the feed back assignments currently are great and I wouldn't change anything. Also I chos...

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.

typing game tech tip

This game is a fun typing game that has a cat that walks around different areas and you have to type out words to kill the zombie dinosaurs before they kill you;. This game i thought was actually really fun and I actually got into it after a couple levels. Playing this game for awhile definitely helps your typing skills improve because as the level picks up your having to type faster and faster and you don't even notice it. One thing I do recommend doing before playing this game is to first change to the difficulty to medium or hard if your a good at typing because easy was too easy.
