Tech Tip: Canvas Dashboard

I really like the Canvas Dashboard. It is really easy to customize the Dashboard as well. Once all of my classes are published for a semester, I usually color code each class. This is just a fun way to incorporate some flare into the Dashboard. I took Laura's advice and turned off the color lay feature for the courses. My professors have pictures set up so now it is easier to see what exactly the professors wanted to be shown! I also like how you can rename the courses. Usually they have the Course ID number and it can get confusing when all of your classes are HR. I really appreciate the Canvas Dashboard for being easy to navigate. D2L was confusing at times but Canvas was a good system to switch to.

Introduction to an Animal Lover

Hi! My name is Hannah Rutherford and I am a senior here at OU. I am from The Woodlands, TX – which is just North of Houston. I absolutely love OU and couldn’t imagine being at any other university. Here at OU, I am a Human Relations major. I used to be pre-nursing but I quickly realized that nursing wasn’t for me and I was able to switch! Lucky for me, I am graduating in December! I am really looking forward to it, but I am also a little scared as well. My greatest accomplishment from last semester is that I got a 4.0. Hopefully I will be able to do this again in my last semester. Once I graduate with an HR degree, I hope to get my masters and become a Licensed Professional Counselor. I would like to work with kids in some way and I would love to incorporate therapy animals into my work. I am a firm believer that animals make everything better!  Speaking of animals, I am an extreme animal lover. I have two dogs and two cats at home. My two dogs are Shih Tzus and they are named Sha

When Wheel of Fortune came on, Tyler knew that it was his opportunity to play with his sister's toys. Sarah, Tyler's sister, loved to watch the game show every night. Tyler knew that this was his opportunity to steal Sarah's toys.  Wheel of Fortune Board As he approached the game room, the house cat named Mittens appeared. Tyler quietly asked Mittens if he could play with Sarah's toys, expecting no response. To Tyler's surprise, Mittens replied.  "If you want to play with Sarah's toys then go ahead. It is your life, but just remember the story of Justin and the car." "What is that story?", Tyler instantly uttered. Mittens began to tell the story. "Many years ago, there was a 13-year old boy named Justin that created havoc. Overall, he was a nice boy, but he had one major issue. He was an avid thief. Justin had a mindset that if it wasn't being used, then he could take advantage and use whatever he wanted fo
