Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

Ever since the University started to use canvas, I have been exploring it and figuring out all of the details behind the dashboard page. One thing that I have done that has really helped me is changed the color card of my courses to match up with the color I write with in my planner for my course. This helped me to stay very organized and not mix up my classes and due dates. The tech tip did teach me that I can turn off the color on the cards that have an image. I did not know this and will be doing this right away. Overall, canvas dashboard is pretty easy to work. It also allows you to customize your dashboard, which I really like.

    Hey Christina!

    I have really liked using Canvas as opposed to D2L (even though the transition was a little frustrating).

It is very helpful to me when navigating through my courses when the names are easier to read and the colors are more vivid!

Introduction to an OU Cheerleader

I am looking forward to this semester even though I know it will be a hard one because I am taking O-Chem and Genetics. However, I am excited to learn about these subjects. I am a cheerleader here at the University of Oklahoma on the all-girl team. I mention this because I spend a lot of my time at cheer practice as well as cheering at events such as football, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball, and others. Over Christmas break, my team and I stayed in Norman to practice for nationals which took place this past weekend in Orlando, Florida. Although staying in Norman over the break and having prac...

Week 7 Storytelling, The Unlucky Well

One upon a time there was an old man who was very sick. He went to sleep one night and had a very vivid dream, almost as if the spirits were talking to him. He dreamed that a spirit came and got him from his bed and took him on an adventure. The spirit lead him to a boat which he got in and paddled down a river and ended up at the foot of a mountain. Then the spirit lead him all the way up the mountain without going on one single path. When he reached the top of the mountain there were two huge walls made of rocks which what seemed to be a gate in the middle. The gate looked like it could lead to something very important. From here it was his decision to walk through the gate or go back down the mountain. The old man decided to walk through the gate and was surprised as to what he found on the other side. On the other side of the gate was a large well that was very hard to get to. He tied a cup onto a stick and dipped it into the well and retrieved water from the well. After the long j...
