Tech Tip Canvas Mobile App

Hello all friends!

I decided to do a blog post about the Canvas mobile app.  I have an iPhone, and I suspect it works just a little bit differently between an Android and an iPhone.

I have had Canvas on my phone since I started school at OU, which was in 2016.  I like the site in computer format more because things like assignments, comments on assignments, and the entire list of grades for a class are seen more easily on my computer screen.

The mobile app does have some cool features, like a choice to display your overall grade in the class in the top-left corner of the course's image.  I really like that option, because when I am out with family or friends and want to tell them about my awesome grades, I can just whip my phone out and see it right then as opposed to lugging a computer around.

I also like the accessibility of Canvas in the mobile app form.  It is a little easier to just check my phone as opposed to checking my computer for messages or grade updates.  Overall, I think it is a pretty good app and it works well.

Personal Photo: Zander Personal Photo: Ginger I have a twin brother and his name is Braden.  Most people will ask the typical questions like if we are identical or telepathic, but we are as different as a flamingo versus a reindeer.  Braden is 6'1" and I am 5'3"; his hair is dark brown and mine is strawberry blonde.  Although we look very different, we are close and these days we spend our time working together to drive our mom crazy.  It has always been just us, with the exception of friends and cousins

Week 7 Story: The Pandavas Gang

Image
Author’s Note: This story is based on the Mahabharata, taking place in The Himalayas . I have changed the story by placing it in the twenty-first century and turning the  Pandavas  into the Pandavas Gang.   The five brothers are the leaders of the Pandavas.   Their cousins and a rival gang, the Kauravas, claim they deserve to take over the streets (instead of the throne as in the Mahabharata) of the city Hastinapura in the kingdom of Kuru.  The Pandavas disagree...   This all leads to the events in The Himalayas story.   I also took some liberties in the build-up to the story. The Pandavas Gang  The Pandavas brothers could hardly remember a time without each other.   Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva could always count on the knowledge that their brothers were nearby, for they felt as if they were one.   They ate, slept, and fought together.   The brothers had the same friends, and they also had the same enemies.   It had been natural to take charge of their father
