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.

Week 5 Story: Waking Kumbhakarna

Waking Kumbhakarna Author’s Note: My story is modeled after Pot-ear Awakened in Sister Nivedita’s Ramayana .  I was really intrigued by the opaque coloring of Pot-ear or Kumbhakarna’s character.  I use Pot-ear as the name others call him, while he prefers Kumbhakarna.  He doesn’t appear to have much motivation for anything besides sleeping and eating.  Sister Nivedita depicts Pot-ear in a way that molds him into a hunting dog.  He only wakes to do Ravana’s bidding and in her version, he has no protests or doubts about the success of warring with Rama.  There is a budding characterization of him, but it is mainly brutish and beastly.  I am more interested in the psychology of Pot-ear as a character with emotion, which is why I wrote this story. Kumbhakarna had been asleep nine months as if pretending to be a babe in a mortal woman’s womb, and he was reluctant to wake.   Ravana knew, even as he impatiently sent many rakshasas to the cave whe...
