This gives the list of classes offered for Western's Environmental Education major. This list was helpful to me when comparing Environmental Education to other Outdoor Education majors.

Many people go into college not knowing what they want to do. This is a good website to help any student narrow down their major. I have personally used this site a couple of times and I have found it really helpful for narrowing down your future job path. There are thousands of majors that I never even knew existed until I looked through the site.

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

This is a great source that allows you to select a major and location to find the best schools and programs for you. Once you choose a degree and location the website gives you a list of colleges.

This website has an extensive list of environmental education scholarships for college undergraduates majoring in some sort of environmental studies.

This new article is about methane gas released through one of Saturn's moon titans. I didn't know what a moon titan was so I clicked on the lick that took me to a Wikipedia article. I told me that is the largest of Saturn's moons that is much like earth. It contains stable liquid on its surface and is made of rock like earth. After a small probe took a picture of the moon titan the scientists came to the conclusion that hydrocarbon ethane instead of Methane must be a majority of the lake. This is because he liquids evaporate much more slowly than normal methane.

I've recently become obsessed with this website. In fact, it was my main reference for the majority of my Thanksgiving dishes this year. I love the elegance of the food, yet the retaliative simplicity as well. Most everything is extremely healthy and focused on a vegetarian and vegan diet. Another thing I love about this website is that under the "Resources" tab, it has a section on how to start a blog, which I no doubt will be using as I try to improve my own!

Powder Magazine has an entire part of their website devoted to avalanche education. On this page you can find updates of major avalanche events and weekly posts about various avalanche hazards and elements of backcountry etiquette.

This website is a great place to to look up reviews about potential colleges. If you type into the search bar one of the colleges that you are looking at, it will pull up a profile with candid reviews. Most website tell the basic things about colleges, such as tuition, majors, etc. However, the Princeton Review gives candid feedback, such as "A blend of hippies and trust-fund children." What do you guys think of Candid reviews? Do you trust them?

This website offers hundred of SAT and ACT practice questions for free. It is very useful to get adjusted to the types of questions and trickery that standardized tests often do. This also gives you basic formulas and vocabulary to study!

David and I were able to talk not that long ago at the Lincoln Church. He is the reverend at the Lincoln Community Church and was an amazing person to talk to about his beliefs pertaining the importance of science in creation and in religion. He was a major component in my final project, which was a podcast. From him I better understand the idea of open-mindedness and having an unconditionally open view about all aspects of the world. David is a amazing guy and I am so glad he collaborated with me on this project.

This source has been vital to me to learning languages. It does not teach languages (so far) that do not use the same characters as English, but it teaches all of the major European languages. It starts you off by teaching you how to say you are drinking or eating and your gender, and slowly raises your skill level in the language by adding more vocabulary and the longer you work on the courses, the faster you'll be able to say exactly what you want! This resource has helped me to keep up my French skills during vacations and breaks for school, it also has helped me to have very basic skills in German, Spanish, and Italian. I would highly recommend this app (YES! IT'S AN APP FOR YOUR MOBILE PHONE! AS WELL AS A WEBSITE!) to anyone who's even the slightest bit interested in learning a language. It will slowly build you up using the strategy of making you translate from English to the language and vice versa. This is a must-use for anyone learning a European language.

This is a site that I have used in the past and actually downloaded onto my phone. This is a great site to learn more about a language and to play games to improve!

The purpose of this website is to be a central hub as to guide readers through each major religion, viewing the religion at a glance, beliefs, history, etc. in full-depth information. This source was incredibly helpful, giving me in-depth guidance in exploring each religion.

This site makes finding the major and finer structures of the brain easy. The intuitive layout lets the user go through the brain, slice by slice, to reveal actual MRI data and drawn pictures that are clearly labeled to indicate surface and subcortical structures. You can zoom in on actual microscope pictures to reveal cells in the brain and see detailed pictures of how they connect. The detailed pictures use horizontal axis (top of brain to bottom), coronal axis (front to back), and sagittal axis (side to side) scans so that you are able to develop a picture of a three dimensional map of the human brain, in your mind. One of the hardest things to picture when I first began researching about the anatomy of the human brain, was picturing where all the subcortical structures were positioned in relation to each other. By using the many informative anatomical and chemical maps, I was able to clear up the issues I had had with trying to visualize a three dimensional model. This source is very reliable, as it uses real images for the slices you see as you navigate the brain. This source also comes from the University Institut für Anatomie, so the data was observed first hand there, making it reliable. I will be using this information that I have gathered to add to my brain portfolio document, and will be a useful tool if I decide to make a three dimensional model of the brain.

This is a website where teachers can put any kind of school activity, game or lesson on and other teachers can buy them at pretty low prices. The only way to get anything off this site is to sign up, and it is FREE. There are also lots of activities, games and lessons that are free for teachers. My mentor told me that she gets the majority of her games off of this one website. She has found it useful for her whole teaching career.
