Week 2 Storytelling from Anthology

Reading Notes : Week 2 Anthology

Image
The Foolish Rabbit - the rabbit who heard a sound of the earth falling apart told others the first thing that came to his mind without investigating the reasoning behind it or what actually happened. - the lion went to take a look and found out that it was just a coconut that had fell and nothing else. The Two Turtles - the plot of this jataka was to show that the turtles had said exactly what and where they wanted to go to the people who captured them and was let out into the river. Turtles and the Geese - the turtle had one job and couldn't keep his mouth shut which is why he was dropped from the geese's mouth and fell dead onto the floor. Cunning Crane and the Crab - this story reminds me of the saying "treat others the way you want to be treated" and to be nice to people and you will get nice things in return. If you do not treat people nicely, then you will face the consequences. this is what happened to the crane - he ate up all the fish after luring

Learning about Time Management and Strategies

Image
Some of the time management strategies that I would follow or suggest to other students would be keeping a planner since it allows an individual to plan out the week or the month in advance. You are able to plan the most important events along with time schedules and know what you have ahead of time when you have something else that has to be planned. Time management skills is very useful for any situation and not just this class since it allows you to know exactly when and where you have to be and what is due when. planner  this picture shows how organized an individual can be using a planner or a calendar of some sort since it makes you know what is due when and what all you have due for the week including specific events and hangouts, etc.

Learning about Class Tools and Technology

Image
After looking at this class tools overview, I feel that I am comfortable with some of these technological websites and some of these search engines. The online experience in this class is much more used than in other classes that I am taking as we do not have much online research and online images and summarizations that are done in other classes. This class makes us use the internet more than I have done in the past and I feel that there are some skills that are labeled in this overview that I will need practice on such as graphic design and website publishing that I would need more practice with since I have never done these before. Technology  this picture depicts that there is constantly technological changes in today's society and that technology and innovations will be coming about and changing in our society and in the near future. There are new inventions and innovations that help us carry on with life in a quicker manner.

Learning About Class Assignments

Image
This class in general seems interesting to me and that is not something I use lightly. There are certain assignments that have already intrigued me and some that I am looking forward to reading and completing. Since my family is from India, there are a lot that I already know and some things that I do not know fully, so I cannot wait to find out more missing pieces about my culture through this course. The extra credit assignments about commenting on other people's blogs interest me since I enjoy and like seeing what other people think on a certain issue versus my views. This class is definitely much more unique compared to other classes because I have never had to post or blog about anything in the past. This would be my first blog account and postings so it something new. tamilnadu temples  this image reminds me of my recent trip to india this past summer and showcases the famous architecture that takes place in the south part of india in Tamilnadu.

Growth Mindset

          Carol Dweck is known for being one of the world's greatest and best leading researchers who focuses her time in the motivational aspect of individuals. Her studies over the years have helped and showed that the reasoning behind why individuals succeed and the reasoning to why they do not. She has been featured on multiple platforms including The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The New Yorker, The New York Times, etc.           Some of the growth mindset challenges that I would challenge either myself or friends to would be to receive and give feedback and use constructive criticism while learning from other students as well. Giving and receiving information and exchanging ideas can be a good idea to helping grow your ideas as well as other students' ideas and thought processes.           I have never heard of Carol Dweck before watching this ted talks and videos of her talking about individuals and their motivational aspects. She did open up my mind to various i

Introduction of an Aspiring PA

          Hi, my name is Asha Chandrasekar (aww-sha chan-dra-say-kerr) and I am a senior student as of three days ago studying psychology pre - physicians assistant at the University of Oklahoma. I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and have lived there all my life up until I came to Norman for college four years ago. My parents are from India (born and raised) and moved to the United States of America a month after they got married. They had me two years later and then had my brother six years after me. They later gained their United States citizenship when I was in fourth grade and that is the year I knew what area I wanted to work in and have a career in when I grew up. From a very young age, I have wanted to play a major role in the health sciences center and field. I felt that and feel that people should be there for each other and in order to do so, I wish to play a big role in the health field and help people feel good and be okay.            I have a strong feeling that m

Lord Vishnu picture   (lord vishnu is surrounded by many of his disciples and other gods). Gods and Goddesses Here is a picture of Lord Vishnu with his other disciples surrounding him portraying support and strength for all gods on this image. This topic is something that is similar to me as I do fall under the Hindu religion and believe in these gods and goddesses. Although I am not completely sure on every single detail about the religion, I learn as I go and know enough to get me through temple. The introduction was not much to get the audience involved and intrigued as it was short. Gods and Goddesses Webpage Goddess Lakshmi picture   (lakshmi is sitting on a lotus flower and showering wealth and prosperity to all). Lives of Lakshmi Here is a picture of the goddess, Lakshmi who is known for being the goddess of wealth, prosperity and purity.
