Using this link i tried to figure out who vikrim was. I did not know him and when i was reading Anu's story i wanted to learn more about the name vikrim.

I used this link to find out what animals are important to hinduism. Since the fables are very heavy on their use of personification on animals, i thought it would be a good idea to brush up on the some knowledge for my readings.

I have been researching a little bit a more about Rama this week. since their epic is the basis for my story book, I think a refresher was needed.The first link covers Rama in general it just helps me remember what happens in the story. the next two links were used so that I could help write Ravana’s case towards Rama. Since we only see him a villain I wanted to shed more light about the good side of Ravana.

Week 9: Curation Spaces

So far we have just finished Mahabharata and like Ramayana,I found out it has its own online movie. Whenever, I read Mahabharata I got never get interested in the story like how I was with Ramayana. Watching this movie cleared up the book up a lot. Of course the movie missed parts here and there but that is not the point. The movie delivered the story Mahabharata in a great manner. I was interested the whole way. I even watched week 1 reading in one sitting without even noticing. Recently, I switched from writing my blogs in word to online word counter. It lets me know if I am using a certain word too much. Since I have not had a chance to write about it browser bookmarks. It helps me keep with the stories and storybooks I like.

Week 1 Curation

Since i used Google Chrome, I try to use different extensions for my home page to organize everything. As of now, I am using IncrediStartPage to organize bookmarks, history, and popular websites I use in one place. I never been to big on Pinterest or twitter since i know i would abuse it. I have not heard of known until today. It sounds pretty interesting and I probably read more on it before I try it . keeping track information online is pretty easy for me. It is not getting distracted by you tube videos, Facebook, or forum sites like Reddit that is hard.I would love to organize stuff better but making sure my bookmarks is the last thing in mind so i tend to forget to. One way of getting organized is using extensions for your browser. They can add and rearrange the way your  notepads, calendars, and bookmarks are displayed on your browser. Opening A Facbook page or any way to increase the way the students in this way can interact with each other would go well in creating a good curation-and-sharing-experience.
