Tech Tip: Weather Widget

This week is my first week to do a tech tip.  Personally I hate technology so these tech tips could be pretty fun to learn how to do more things over technology.  This week I added the weather widget.  At first it was complicated to figure out how to get the weather of Norman, Ok on there, but eventually I got it all worked out.

Growth Mindset: 50 Ways to Cultivate Creative Habit

This week I decided I needed to get my head in the game and start keeping up with my online classes. To get that started I am doing some extra credit to get me caught up.  I thought since this is a class that I have to be pretty creative in it would be beneficial for me to learn some creative habits.  This is why I chose to read "50 Ways to Cultivate Creative Habit" for my growth mindset.

I like to think as my self pretty creative, and this article hit some interesting points that I agree with.  First off it mentioned that creative people tend to see things that others miss, and I know this is true.  When being creative you are looking at something from all aspects and not putting any judgement towards something.

Something that I picked up from reading this blog post that will be helpful for this class would be that creativity is about connecting the dots.  I sometimes find it hard to complete stories, but If I just remember to keep the dots connected it will be easier to complete a lesson.

Week 10 Reading Diary: Jataka Tales

Week 10 Reading diary post from Jataka Tales by Ellen C. Babbitt

(The Monkeys and the String of Pearls)  

The Girl Monkey and the Sting of Pearls
-I don't blame the monkey, pearls are awesome.  But the monkey should have known not to take something that didn't belong to her.

The Three Fishes

-I love the idea of the names of the fishes, It would have been more interesting to see that Very-Thoughtful fish was to give his life while helping the other two fish to teach them a lesson about being very-thoughtful.

The Tricky Wolf and the Rats 

-Can’t be tricky forever… I liked how the Rats were able to overcome the Wolf’s tricks. 

The Woodpecker, Turtle, and Deer 
-What a great story about three different types of characters (friends) being able to help each other out in different ways. 

The Golden Goose
-The mother should have not taken advantage of the goose.  This is what happens to people that have kind hearts sometimes, just get walked all over. 

The Stupid Monkeys 
- In all fairness to the monkeys I think that the king should have known that they wouldn't be able to do it the right way.  And plus they were just trying to figure out which tree needed more water.

The Cunning Wolf
-I'm glad that the wolf was able to see the trick the man was trying to play.

The Penny-Wise Monkey
-"To get more, I there away what I had" very powerful lesson to learn.

The Red-Bud Tree
-This was a fun a way for the brothers to learn about the four different seasons.

The Woodpecker and the Lion
-I mean the lion was right, he did chose to not eat the woodpecker, but he should have been more thankful.

The Otters and the Wolf
-This was smart of the wolf to get the fish from the otters.
