A simple, yet amazingly information, book on the teachings and wisdom of the Buddha. Fairly easy to understand compared to what is out there, and accessible to Westerners. A wonderful overview.

Since we have been learning about chemical cycles, in my Biology class, this website has been very helpful. This really helped me study for my Biology midterm exam because I was able to have a visual model of what all the chemical cycles looked like. I could go to this site and get a lot of information on the water, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycle. Even though we were taught all of this in class, it helped me to read more information on it so I could have a better understanding on the subject.

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.

Mahli is an amazing teacher. She helped me to learn Mandarin at a more precise level. Instead of just teaching me vocabulary, she taught me grammar rules and the tones that are crucial to the Chinese language. She would stay after school with me or meet up with me for around an hour every few days and we would go over things that I needed and/or wanted to know and she would help me with them and she would also critique my Chinese. Mahli studied abroad to China, so she knows the difficulties of learning Mandarin, so she is extra patient with you. She is really a great teacher and to anybody who would like some advice on Mandarin Chinese, I would certainly recommend talking to Mahli.

Is there a link to Mahli? Ha! Wishing so!

I decided to use this website because I wanted to learn more information on planning events for my future career in hospitality. This website reiterated ideas I have already learned, but also taught me some new things and I thought it was very helpful.

This website is a great source that has taught me a lot about different shading techniques. The purpose of this website is to simple give you shading techniques. This website was really useful for me when I had to bring home artwork to finish and couldn't have the help of an "actual" art teacher. This source is very reliable because the website was created by a former art teacher and student in Scotland. I also found this site helpful from all the descriptions and visuals that helped walk me through the process of shading. I feel like by focusing on little tricks and techniques that were given on this website has made me a better artist and my art pieces more appealing.

This is a great article about how to not mix up languages when you are learning more than one. In addition, this site is a wonderful resource for general language learning tips and tricks.

This online video shows this awesome mechanic tearing down a whole dirt bike in 5 minutes. It thought it was amazing and would recommend that others watch this video if they want to see an crazy fast mechanic. This video taught me how to be more time efficient while taking apart a dirtbike by having the right tools, such as T handles.

This website gives an intricate background and play by play of the Scopes trial a.k.a. The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes. The trial pitted the theory of evolution against Christian creation, and challenged Tennessee's anti evolution statute. Renown attorney Clarence Darrow defended John Scopes, and three time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryant represented the state of Tennessee. Scopes taught Darwin's theory of evolution to students in a Tennessee classroom while acting as a substitute. The case was a clash between Traditionalists and Modernists, and determined a lot about the progression of society in the face of evolution and religion. The debate is still one that is prevalent today and this site gives good history of one of the key turning points in the ongoing discussion.

This video was about ASL and taught you how to sign different animals. It went at a nice pace so it was easy to follow along. I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn sign language.

This lesson taught me new vocabulary pertaining to how to refer to people and things. I learned how to say things like, "I," "you," and "they." It helped to teach me how to describe, very basically, my feelings toward something. This lesson really helped me to speak Mandarin at a level I was starting to really hope to achieve. I am still extremely basic, but now I can talk about myself and other people instead of just talking about food and basic actions. I would highly recommend getting to at least this lesson in Rosetta Stone because it will really help you to be able to convey much more than what you could before, no matter how basic you still are. This resource is a must to anyone wanted to learn Mandarin Chinese.
