Tech Tip: Blog Profile

For the tech tip this week I decided to change my blogger profile. I removed my name from my posts, because I think that since it is my blog there is no reason to have my name on each post as well. Since the beginning of class my profile has always been included on my blog, so I decided to just leave it the way that it is. I have thought a little about my online identity. I don't post a lot of things on my online profiles because I simply don't have time to keep up with all of them. I also want to make sure everything I do post will not have an effect on my job in the future. I think your online identity is key to your future because everyone can see that side of your personality.

Growth Mindset of connections

By: Laura Gibbs Blog

How all this new information is making me feel.

I was looking through the gallery of Growth mindset memes and came across this one. I really thought this was fitting to my week. I have been working on a lot of work this week and I feel like my brain is piecing all of the work in my classes together to form the connections between each subject. It is also making connections between internship offers that I have been receiving. That is why I picked this meme for my growth mindset challange. 

Story: The disappearance of Mike and Molly.

One-day Mike and Molly decided they wanted to go on a hike. They set off on a trail up the side of the mountain towards the trails they had hiked many times. They found the trail and set off towards the top of the mountain. The morning sun was rising and they were excited to see what the day held for them. After a couple hours of climbing towards the top Molly was getting tired.

Molly asked Mike, “Can we take a break? This hike is really making me tired and the heat is not helping.”

Mike told her, “Try to get to the next break in the steep side of the mountain and we will take a break.”

So they continued to climb, after another twenty minutes of climbing up the mountain Molly turned around and asked Mike, “Can we please stop now? I don’t think I can walk much further without a break. This heat is ridiculous. I have an umbrella and we can sit in the shade.”

Mike thought about it for a minute and said, “I guess we can take a break, but let’s make it a short one. I want to get to the top and back down before sunset.”

They sat down and took a break. Before they knew it they were both asleep under the umbrella. Hours later Mike woke up, he suddenly realized that he had fallen asleep. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 6:00 in the evening. He shook Molly till she woke up. They both couldn’t believe that they had fallen asleep for that long.

They gathered their things and started heading down the mountain. It was dark before they reached the bottom of the mountain. Once it got dark they were having a hard time following the trail that they had taken. Eventually they had to stop because they were lost and just walking in circles.

When the kids hadn’t shown up for dinner their mother got worried. After it got dark she went to her husband and he was rounding up dogs to go look for their kids. They sent their first dog who had been with them many years out first. After an hour or so the dog came back but the kids weren’t with him.

Next they sent out their hunting dog, he had been with the family for a while. The hunting dog went looking, he spent hours looking. He climbed back and forth and ended up getting himself lost on the mountain. After hours of the hunting not returning they didn’t know what to do. The only dog they had left was a puppy.

The husband told his wife, “Well I guess it never hurts, I am going to let Pup out and see if he can find the kids.”

The wife told the husband, “Pup is not old enough to go out on his own yet! We can’t do that!”

The husband said, “I have no other choice, our kids aren’t home, my hunting dog is lost, and it’s late in the night.”

The husband release Pup and Pup took off into the mountain.

After sitting there stranded for so long lost and confused Mike and Molly heard the bushes rustling. They were scared to see what was going to come and attack them, they closed their eyes and screamed. Suddenly Mike was attacked and on the ground with Pup licking his face. They were so happy to see Pup.



Pup lead Mike and Molly down the mountain where he ran into the hunting dog. Shortly after that they were back at the house where the parents were so happy to see their kids.

Authors Note:

I used the story of The Little Boy and Girl in the Clouds. Which is an Indian fairy tale about a little boy and girl who fall asleep on a rock, While they are asleep the rock grows. Their parents go looking for them but can't find them. Finally one of the animals tracks the kids to the rocks. All the animals try to reach the top to save the kids, but it is the smallest animal who ends up saving the kids.

The first story was about a boy who was a dwarf. The girl gathered all the food. The girl made the boy a bow. The boy killed 10 snowbirds to make him a coat. His coat shrunk in the heat of the Sun and he threatened the sun. He wanted a strong rope. He turned her hair into metal. Ken-eu woke the doormouse. The doormouse freed the sun. The next story was about O-jeeg. His son wondered if he could somehow bring the summer down from the sky. He talked to a squriel, who told him, "If someone could bring the summer down from the sky, it would be a true blessing." His father told him it was a dangerous task. They asked the spirit for sucess in their trip. They broke the sky and O-jeep was caught by the sky dwellers. The plow is O-jeeg in the sky. The last story was about Neen-i-zu, who was against hunting. She declared that there would be no suffering in the forest and no life could be taken in the forest. Her mother wanted her to marry a hunter who could take care of her. She didn't want to marry a hunter. She ended up leaving with the Evergreen Fairy on the day of her wedding and no one saw her again.

The first story talked about a main character named Iagoo. Iagoo told the children stories. He went on to tell a story about the North Wind. The next story was about fishermen who were scared of Ka-bib-on-okka. Shin-ge-bis was the only one who was not scared of the north wind. He challenged the north wind, and ended up beating the north wind. The next story was about a little boy and a little girl. They fell asleep on a rock near a stream. While they were sleeping the rock grew. It grew so tall that you couldn't see the top from the ground. When their parents came looking for them they couldn't find them.  The coyote followed their trail to the rock. When they found out that they were on top of the mountain all the animals tried to rescue the kids. None of the animals could succeed. Finally a measuring worm made his way to the top of the rock.  He guided the children down the mountain. Osseo and Oweenee were taken away from the Earth and in the end were returned to the Earth.
