Class Technology

 I am in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, which has given me several opportunities to be exposed to many of these technological websites. Specifically, I'm most familiar with WordPress, Weebly and Tumblr. I enjoy using these platforms, because it's practice of graphic design for my major. Additionally, I used to be a Pinterest fanatic. I'm positive I can navigate that website!
Technology is becoming increasingly important in the world, and in the classroom. 

I have used Wordpress, Weebly, Canva and GoogleDocs in other classes, but have never used Pinterest or Tumlr for class. I'm excited to be able to use these, because I look at them for fun in my spare time. I am very familiar with Canva to create graphics, but I'm ready to challenge myself even more with this platform for graphic technology.

    It is so nice to meet students who have explored all these different kinds of tools, Demery! Fabulous! Teaching online is a perfect excuse to promote these online tools for learning. Pinterest, in particular, is pretty amazing: for finding/researching images, it is very powerful, and I actually get lots of good suggestions from Pinterest now about images related to Indian art and also for growth mindset, since those are two things I pin a lot. Of course they did not build the platform with education in mind... but it has actually turned out to be a very useful educational tool! Here's a search for growth mindset at Pinterest: teachers use Pinterest a LOT, so there is tons of stuff: Growth Mindset search at Pinterest

Introduction to a Future Olivia Pope*

Hi everyone, my name is Demery Pennington (pronounced like Emery, but with a D)! I am a junior public relations student at the University of Oklahoma. For those that don't know, PR helps companies keep a positive reputation, helps companies rely on ethics in decision-making and helps companies listen and and adapt to the needs of the public(s) that the company affects. I love PR because, as a very social person, it is very relationship and communication driven. Although I was born in the random place that is Helena, Montana, I have grown up most of my life in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here, I attended Union High School and met some of my very best friends. Growing up, gymnastics and cheerleading had a huge impact on my life. After doing gymnastics from age 3-14, I switched over to cheerleading in high school. My senior year I cheered competitively with both Union Varsity Cheer and Twist & Shout Diamonds , which took up a ton of my time (click on that link to see my competitive chee...

Reading Notes: Mr. Miacca, Reading B

This story is about a boy that sometimes was a troublemaker. His mom always told him that if he kept being bad, Mr. Miacca would take him from the street while he was playing outside. Mr. Miacca threw Tommy (the boy) in a bag and took him to his home. He tells the boy he's going to eat him for dinner, and tells his wife Sally that he has dinner ready. Mr. Miacca realizes he forgot herbs to put on the boy, so he tells his wife to watch Tommy while he goes and gets some. Tommy talks to Sally about if her husband always eats boys, and she says yes. Tommy tells Sally she should like pudding instead, and offers his mom's homemade pudding for her. Sally is foolish and let's Tommy convince her to go home and fetch her some pudding then come right back. Tommy was then free from Mr Miacca until he was bad once again. Mr Miacca. Photo from Wikipedia. Tommy got snatched by Mr Miacca again, and Mr Miacca is angry with him about running away. Tommy was supposed to get boiled, but ...
