Tech Tip: Canvas Notifications

Canvas notifications has been a great help to me this semester since I just downloaded the new revamped app as well. I also get their notifications on my school email. Getting notifications about when a teacher sends out an email or personal one is very helpful along with grade updates and assignment notifications. Sometimes I'll forget to do an assignment, but I'll be notified and reminded to do it so I don't get a big fat zero.

Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

To be honest, when I first started using Canvas I was not its biggest fan. I wish the everything wold just go back to the way things were with Ozone, but as time went by I grew more fond of it. The dashboard in particular is quite neat and nice. I can customize it to my liking, which I do a lot every semester now. I tweak the color of each class to match what I want. I can even change the names of these classes to make it more easy for me.

Reading Notes (Extra Credit): Brothers Grimm (Ashliman) Part A

For this extra credit reading I took it upon myself to read out of the Grimm Brothers Children's and Household Tales. This particular translation was done by Ashliman. The story I took most interest in was the one called "Little Red Cap". This is all too familiar with the story of Little Red Riding Hood. In this rendition almost everything was exact as the story I heard growing up and continue to hear. These are, however, minor detail changes here and there because of course this isn't the American version, instead it is the European one. In both versions the Wolf is the main villain and he is seen as the one who tries to eat Little Red Riding Hood. In my rendition I would turn it around. I know there are multiple versions of this story, even the one that I'm suggesting but this version will be told in my own voice. The Wolf would be the victim instead of the villain and the Little Red Riding Hood would be the antagonist. However, I might have to change the actual character of the Little Red Riding Hood to someone who is more villain like.
