InterPals Penpals - Make friends online and find free pen pals from around the world! - 0 views

  •  
    Like with any social network, be careful. Not everyone on there is a person just like you trying to learn a new language. But that aside, this website was really great for me to talk with people who knew Mandarin Chinese and were willing to help. Some people I just had quick conversations with that only lasted a few sentences, others I still talk to today. The person that knows Mandarin that I still talk to lives in China and is always happy to help me with the tones and to have conversations with me and teach me how to say things like a normal Chinese person would say them. This is a really great resource for person to person interaction. But again, be careful, as always.

  •  
    The purpose of this article is to go over 5 amazing brain facts. The writer of the article does do something that I personally am a big fan of, which is instead of writing about 5 interesting brain facts, they have short videos describing every brain fact in moderate detail. The main points of the article is to showcase 5 amazing brain facts and talk about why they are amazing, such as explaining why exercise is good for your heart AND your brain. The only issues that are covered are about why people should exercise regularly, and the article talks about memory loss, and why it doesn't have to happen to you; No other "issues" are covered.

Obama is exasperated over the government shutdown - 0 views

  •  
    This is an article focusing on Obama's piece of mind regarding the government shutdown. He and I both think it's a waste of time for our government. The fact that a single republican, John Boehner is currently the person controlling how and when the government shutdown will end is wrong. One person should not be in control of the congress on funds that have already been approved. Boehner and republicans refuse to reopen the government as long as Obama doesn't go in front of 20 million people and basically tell them they can't have health insurance.
  •  
    Why does John Boehner have that power? How well did this strategy work for Republicans? What will happen with the debt ceiling discussion looming ahead in our future?

  •  
    This part of the College Board website is a place where many tips are included for writing the college essay. There are also student point of views and their personal experiences writing the college essay. This is a really helpful tool because it includes videos, tips, and even personal stories. The Director of Admission at Yale speaks about some tips for self-analysis in the essay, which was very insightful.

The Best Color To Help You Concentrate Is... - 0 views

  •  
    Within this website the article I was looking at talked about what color was the best to help people to concentrate. (spoiler alert, it's orange). This article didn't only tell me which color stimulates the mind more, but it also gave an explanation as to why. Besides the color, the brightness of the color that makes a big impact on a person efficiency. From the insights of a psychologist and Feng Shui principals, the information in this article seemed to be truthful. I thought this website was very useful for my study because I do not want to paint a mural that would stimulate the mind too much if a person was feeling sick and just wanted to rest. This website is great for anyone that would like to know what color to paint a room.

NCW HOME PAGE - 0 views

  •  
    This website wasn't particularly helpful. It did show me an example or two of fun experiments I could perform to understand chemistry better, but it didn't help to educate me too much. This is not, however, a site I would recommend to a person getting into chemistry, but to a person who is looking more into just having fun with cool experiments.

Chemistry - 0 views

  •  
    This website was much more helpful than I thought it would be. Though the only experiments I found on it were about growing crystals, it still helped me to get a very good look at chemical reactions and more importantly, crystals. Crystals are very important in the field of chemistry I'm looking into, pharmaceutics, so this website helped me to find good information about crystals. I would definitely recommend this website to a person looking into chemistry, but more so to a person who's just starting and would like to perform some simple experiments.

SeaWorld's Blue Horizons - Behind The Scenes - 0 views

  •  
    This video was an incredible resource. I really got to understand the relationship between trainer and dolphin. I think this video definitely helped me to see the different personalities of dolphins, as well as their personalized training regimen and preferences. This really gave me a deep understanding of the topic that I would never have been able to have achieved unless I was right there having the trainers tell me this. This video is a must see for anyone looking into becoming a trainer, or just trying to study dolphins in general. Truly an amazing resource.

Marine Mammal Trainer - 0 views

  •  
    This website is a must visit for any person wanting to gather more information on Marine Mammal Training and how to get into the field. This website really helped me to see some of the small things that go into the upkeep of marine mammal training and just the regular, everyday jobs. This site also really helps to figure out how to get into the field. It has the, "Ask a Trainer" section, and they actually respond. It has tips and fun little facts as well. Any person aspiring to train marine creatures should definitely put this site on their must-see list.

5 Reasons Why Peru is a Country With Much to Envy - 0 views

  •  
    This article is a personal story about the author's trip to Peru. It especially focuses on the deeper culture that most tourists may not notice, but this author especially sought out. It traces her journey from Lima, to Cusco, to Machu Picchu. I chose to read this article because I am applying to study abroad in Peru next year, and I wanted to know more about the culture. I liked this source because it gave a varied view of many components of Peruvian culture from food, to architecture, to what the people were like. It is definitely biased, however. The author seems to be in love with Peru and doesn't get into the challenges of immersing herself in the culture. I think I should read a few more reviews before hopping on the plane, but this article was definitely a good starting point. This source helped my learning by giving me a broad overview that I can now choose specific details from to research more thoroughly. Reading this article made me more eager to study abroad and did a great job "selling" the culture of Peru. However, it was written more from a traveler's perspective and didn't really show me what it would be like to live in Peru for an extended period of time.

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.
