Deer Diseases | Missouri Department of Conservation - 1 views

  •  
    I just read an article on a web site about deer diseases. The main points of this article is modern and common different deer diseases. For example, CWD, chronic wasting disease is a disease found all throughout the us and in many different species of deer. Other diseases listed are also cutaneous fibromas, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, bluetongue, lyme disease, nasal bot flies, and tapeworms. The purpose is to inform you about deer diseases throughout the us. If someone asked me what this article was about I would probably say that it is about more recently found deer diseases. This is a useful source because of how much writing there is about each disease. When compared to other sites I have used this site goes further in detail about each topic. This information for me was written by a reliable source and relates to my focus. I would recommend this source to anyone who wants to learn about deer diseases. This source was very helpful for my learning. This source was helpful because it related to my focus and helped me further my education. This site has made me want to direct my learning closer to diseases and problems that reduce the deer population. I can use this source to learn about deer diseases. For example if I were to see a deer that looked unhealthy I could use this site to find out the side effects of each disease and compare it to the deer I saw to find out what was wrong with it.Overall, this site has been helpful for my learning.

  •  
    I love this website because it gave me a lot of helpful photography tips. A lot of them I hadn't thought of before. The main points covered in the article are tips about camera techniques and when to shoot photos. The purpose is to improve the skills of the photographer and the quality of their photos. I will use this information every time I go for a shoot because it's really valuable and the tips are excellent. This source is easy to read and clearly organized because it's more of a list than an article. The article is so engaging that it makes me want to pick up my camera and go take photos and practice the tips listed!

  • How to write the first draft of a novel in 30 days
  •  
    This website was what I found after looking at a website that involved a blank book you could buy. Considering I did not want to buy a book, I researched ways that I could improvise but have the same effect and I found this website. It helped me map out what I needed to do in order to meet my goal.

Writing Generators - 0 views

  •  
    I used this article because I was looking for some inspiration to write a play. Turns out, this website was the just the thing I needed. The random generators are really helpful when you can't think of something interesting for a character you are writing about. There are plot, character, title, and name generator included in this website. I used these generators to come up with character names and even some different interesting things about my characters. They are super helpful when you are stuck or your story needs a lift! This is very different from other sources I have use because it is not an article, but a generator. I would highly recommend this source!

Longboarding - Coleman Slide Tutorial. - 0 views

  •  
    I watched the video produced by Daniel Snyder on how to safely do the Coleman Slide which is a slide to reduce speed. The video had sections made in slow motion so that I could specifically understand what to do during the slide. I know a little bit about the Coleman Slide and I thought that this video clearly explained the steps. This video would be helpful for beginner longboarders because it is taped step by step. This was a useful resource because it taught me how to do the Coleman Slide. I have seen the Coleman Slide in videos but I have never practiced the move. I searched out this video because I wanted to learn how to do the slide. I liked the way this video explained the steps and I would search for other videos by this person in the future.I would recommend this site to other people because the video was very clear.

Music Theory Website: - 1 views

  •  
    Summarize: This is a music theory website which I used for a music composition course that I was taking. Common chord progressions was just one of the lessons from the website that I used. In this article that I used the main points were major and minor chord progressions. The purpose of this article is to show what chords most often progress from one chord to the next and the different chords that progress in a major vs. minor key. The theory website has many topics ranging from the basics: dotted rhythms to harder more complex things: cadences and neapolitan chords. They are all very nicely ordered and categorized if you have any specific things that you need to know about. Once you have selected a topic of interest a paragraph appears on the screen. There are two arrows at the bottom that allow the reader to read the page a sentence at a time along with the model that explains what you are reading. It is almost like a PowerPoint but you control the speed at which it moves. Review and access: This is a useful source, because the website explains everything in a clear and easy to understand way. There are pictures to guide your learning. When using other resources I find that they are hard to follow because of their advanced musical terms. Also, the models on other websites often go with one part of the paragraphs and not the other so it gets confusing. The information on this site is reliable, because we used it in class to learn some of the musical terms in each lesson. I would recommend anyone who wants, needs or just likes learning about music theory to use this website as a tool. Reflect: This source was super helpful for me and I accessed it many times throughout my composition course when I was confused on a certain topic, word or structure of song. This site helped me direct my learning because it is very organized and I could find the exact topic that I was looking for. You can use this source as a reference to terms or musical topics, or use it as notes

Fundraising Site - 0 views

  •  
    This was the site I used to fundraise for the half marathon that I ran to benefit Zeno Mountain Farm. The whole team from Zeno made fundraising pages with this site, and it let you set a goal, provide information about what you are fundraising for, and notified you via email when you got donations or reached your goal. With a site where people will be entering their credit card numbers to donate to you, you have to be sure that it is reliable. The only way I knew this site was reliable was because it had been endorsed by the leader of our marathon team, but now that I know I will feel confident using it for future fundraising endeavours I embark on. I liked using this site because it made fundraising a communal activity that I could share with my entire marathon team; instead of just calling people in isolation, I could track my progress with my teammates and receive inspiration from what they were doing. It also allowed me to broaden the pool of people I was reaching out to to sponsor me, since I could connect the stayclassy page with my facebook and other social media pages.

    This website was helpful when I started out. It was one of the first ones that I used and I used it to help me figure out what kinds of genres for fiction writing there were out there. This website helped me narrow down what kinds of genres that I was interested in and then lead me to researching more about the ones I liked.

ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center - 0 views

  •  
    Discover 70 live species, over 100 interactive experiences, and seasonal changing exhibits and events --- all exploring the Ecology, Culture, History, and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington VT is a place where I have had the pleasure to go for school trips as a younger kid. I also had the opportunity to go on October 23, 2014. Being part of the Pathways Program I get lots of opportunities to meet and learn from experts on my topics. Today I got to meet Steve Smith, an aquarium keeper at the Echo. Shadowing him and his interns helped me understand the deeper care and maintenance of keeping an aquariums. I learned that when feeding your fish watch the way they act when its feeding time. If they stay at the top waiting for food you should slowly give more until they act uninterested. I also learned that the graits in the filters need to be cleaned one or more a week. Only rinse with water because the there is a certain bacteria that the fish need. I also have to look at ammonia in the water. If there is too much I need to drain 2/3s of the water and add new water to the tank. I found it very helpful to hear this information and I look forward to going again soon.

Soldier's Heart: Literary Men, Literary Women, and the Great War - 0 views

  •  
    This was a work that I used for an American Studies paper. It was about how women gained power during World War One, and how they expressed that power through writing. I was able to access this article through Ms. Burdett's JSTOR account, which was a very useful website because you had access to work that wasn't published on the broader internet and you could keep it all bookmarked together. I knew this was reliable because it was associated with a college, and the author used in-text citations so I could double check her sources if I wanted to. However, it was biased because the author was writing a persuasive piece. She started the work with a debatable thesis and gave evidence throughout the article to support it. This was one of the most challenging articles I've read because it was written at a college level, but the information was at a higher level as well. The author went very in-depth, and while the sheer amount of information was sometimes hard to sort through, it gave me better details in the end. The only drawback I would tell someone else who wanted to use this source was that it was on JSTOR, so I needed Ms. Burdett's password and permission whenever I wanted to use it.

Soil Solarization for Gardens & Landscapes Management Guidelines--UC IPM - 0 views

  •  
    This site also discussed the process of solarization. However, the site was centered more on the destruction of pests in the soil. I believe, though, that the same procedures used for extinguishing the pests could be used on seeds. One idea that intrigued me was the idea that a small container can be solarized, with plastic tarp on top, as I didn't really think of using a small container to solarize plants. As my plot of soil with the parsnip plant is very small, I don't think actually solarizing it would do anything, but as a possible alternative to my procedure of baking the seeds, if I had more time I could have solarized them in a small container. I could still do that, as a back-up to my procedure, with the remaining soil and seeds, and see how it affects the seeds, if I have sufficient time. Aside from this small bit of information, and a repeat of the instructions of how to do solarization of your own, I don't think I will use this site very often. The only good information it had was the information mentioned above. However, it is also a reliable educational source, and as such, it will most likely contain reliable information, as compared to a non-educational site.

Empower Mobility | Custom Mobile Apps for Apple iPhone, iPad, and other mobile platforms - 0 views

  •  
    While at the Vermont Tech Jam last Friday, Oct. 24th I spoke with several people who helped to point me in a positive direction regarding my possible career choices One person I spoke with is Tom Jaros from Empower Mobility. Empower Mobility is a custom app making company. Tom gave me great advice to help me with my own app making endeavors. He told me to start with simple things and work my way up. Another thing he told me was if I wanted to make Apple apps I needed to get an Apple computer. He told me to look for old versions of Mac computers so that I don't have to spend a fortune. I thought the things he told me where valuable points and I would consider asking him for an interview about the coding that are required for creating apps. I may have more to reflect on after asking him more questions and talking with him further. Tom sparked my interest with creating apps and I look forward to branching off into this field.
