Indian Epics

For this week's tech tip, I am talking about Canvas' dashboard. The Canvas dashboard it the first thing you see when you long into Canvas. Something that I really like about Canvas is how you can customize the colors and titles of your classes. I know some people who title their classes with their course ID and class name and I personally title my classes just with the class name. There are so many options so you can make it whatever you want it to be.  Something else that I do that is really handy is I customize the color of my classes on the dashboard.

At first I was like "yeah, yeah.... ok what ever." But now I really do believe it, it just took me a while.  In the past I have had a hard time managing my stress levels, so this semester I decided I wa...

Part A Notes How the Monkey Saved His Troop Every night monkeys went to a mango tree where the fruit had dropped. A king found out about the fruit and liked the fruit so much he needed to know where the tree stood. When they found the tree the king collected all of the fruit laying on the ground. The monkeys came later that night and saw that all of the fruit on the ground was gone so they picked the fruit from the tree. The monkeys were so loud that it woke up the king and later archers stood at the base of the tree ready to kill the monkeys. The king saw how good the chief monkey took care of his troop and the king said he would take care of the chief monkey for the rest of his life. The Brave Little Bowman A crooked little man used a bow and arrow very well. The little man wanted to get work from the king's army. Along the way he met ...
