Week 11 Review

I feel like all I want to start all of my Week in Review posts with an "I'm so stressed because..." Is this just because it's Sunday and I am suddenly thinking about everything coming up in the next few days? I am not sure nonetheless, I never in my life want to take eighteen hours in one semester again. Ever.

Growth Mindsest Challenge

For this week's Growth Mindset Challenge, I chose to evaluate schools for growth. One program that the University of Oklahoma offers that I just recently discovered is the Design Your Own Major. I think it is great that individuals can choose between multidisciplinary studies or the planned program in order to get exactly what they want from their education. It is true that not every person will fit the mold of the typical student and therefore they shouldn't be required to try to fit the standardized education standards of that same person. You can read about it more at the University's website here. I also included an image that I think depicts these ideas well:

Learning by H.E.A.R.T. Challenge

For this week's Learning by H.E.A.R.T. Challenge, I chose a time management strategy called the Pomodoro technique. This week's to-do list seems never-ending so I am going to put this technique to work and will get back to you next week to let you know it went. One thing I was wondering is if there is any specific reason why you should take a longer break between every 4 pomodoros?

Tech Tip: Known Profile

For this week's Tech Tip I created a Known Profile, which you can view at this link.

I made my avatar an image of a turtle for two reasons:

1. This is the theme of my storybook. 
2. I am known as a turtle by many of my friends because they think I move slowly... and I do but I like to live this way.
