#Engaged Learning

How breaking classroom barriers enable students to collaborate? This is the story of little Maya and Lee, and how they created an interesting project that inspired the entire school. That’s the power of collaboration beyond classroom boundaries.

The Engagement Equation

Coaching youth sports is a little like trying to get a group of toddlers to eat vegetables. You need the right blend of fun (the cheese sauce) and focus (the broccoli) to make it work. Too much fun, and you’ve got chaos. Too much focus, and you’ve got a room full of disengaged athletes staring at you like you just canceled recess. So, how do you strike that perfect balance? How do you keep…

I absolutely love how you portray the High Guard and Megatron! Especially with how the High Guard are a bunch of old men who have been out of the loop for decades while their leader is basically an angsty twenty-something who has no idea how anything is supposed to work. Also just love your artstyle in general!

Omg thank youuuu, he absolutely does not know how war works

Hello, everyone!

Welcome to my very first entry for this subject which is creating animation by using Powerpoint! If you're wondering why it starts with the fourth week for this entry, we had used the first three weeks with studying theories and lectures.

Well, I hope you enjoyed my short and simple animation 😋

As you can see, this is an animation that I have created during the fourth week of studying the subject. There are falling daisies and its leaves onto the ground. Then when all the daisies reach the ground, there are other daisies blooming in between the grasses and hide and bloom repetitively.

From my point of view, art and design has always been in our everyday lives because it exists everywhere from what we wear to what we use. It is important to note that any form of art is also created by designers and they play a major role in engaging a prospect or a client to be interested in buying their product. The same context can be used for creating a fun and creative animation for students to be interested in learning.

A good animation or illustration can provide an effective teaching and engaged learning. When students manage to meet the expectations, it becomes a successful learning session. In general, effective teaching and engaged learning are linked together and it is not always easy to achieve especially coming from an Arts student/teacher.

*Ponyo by Studio Ghibli, 2008*

Since most of Studio Ghibli's movies are my childhood favorites, Ponyo has a special place in my heart where a bright young girl (who was a fish originated from the sea) became curious about the other side of her world which is the land. One fine day, she tried to emerge from the beach and met a boy. After that, the boy brought her everywhere he went but the ending left me in tears, joy, and so much emotions flowing through! I really recommend people to watch it to know how it ended! I'd probably watch it again 🤗

*NOTE!! I can conclude that after watching this movie, it does not only teach me to not be scared to do what I want in life, but to to be brave in search of life's opportunities and what it can provide. That is why art is so important because it makes a person feel a certain way when one enjoys it (depends on the person as it varies). Who knows, you get to be connected with new and amazing people along the way which makes a person grow.* 😊

do you know how sad it is that as a recovery blog you can’t manage your disorder and don’t realize you’re experiencing it?

Do you know how sad it is that you’re taking the time to send me asks like this?

I do actually want to talk about this though. I don’t see a need to fix everything. Some things aren’t hurting me, or are low priority when I want to focus on other things.

Meds haven’t stabilized my moods and with my coping mechanisms, I have control of my impulses and know how to handle depressives and anxiety.

Instead, I just accept my disorder. I use times of being manic to prepare for depressives. I meal prep and freeze it. I pre make products for my business. I sometimes queue a bunch of posts.

“Accepting it” really bothers a lot of people but trying so hard to fix it was causing me so much anxiety and stress. And some things aren’t fixable. So, I learn to live with it. And I think that’s valid.

I work on my behaviours that are harmful (impulse control, lashing out at people, sabotaging my relationships, etc), but I can’t just fix my disorders.

It’s a disorder that isn’t ever going to just “go away”. I’ve learned to adapt to work with it instead of trying to fight against it. And let me tell you, my mental health has never been better 🤷‍♀️.

I did a Citrinne paralogue comic over the past couple of months on my twitter! It's finally finished, so I'm cross posting it over here as well.

i cannot stress this enough truly one of the best ways to improve your writing is to ignore any and all advice that circulates online, like forget literally EVERYTHING people are saying you should be doing, and READ BOOKS!!!!!! READ THINGS THAT YOU LIKE!!!!!!!!! READ THINGS IN THE GENRE YOU WANT TO WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is my new favorite method

i think one of the things that was most helpful for me in considering my own relationship with drugs prescribed by psychiatrists was meeting and talking to people who used those same drugs for fun. i was able to get a lot more accurate information on what those drugs actually felt like and what parts people liked and why they sought those drugs out. being able to know that people took xyz drug because they liked the way it was a downer, or that xyz drug was great for feeling relaxed and they liked the combination with other drugs they chose, was a lot more accurate and helpful information then anything that had been provided to me by a psychiatrist (pretty much exclusively the disease model of psych drugs, where psychiatrists told me that i was deficient/chemically imbalanced/etc and that this drug was manufactured for specific diagnoses and could target an underlying "disease process." none of which is particularly accurate or helpful information.)

and don't get me wrong, i don't want to take any of the psych drugs that have ever been prescribed to me ever again, i very recently was forcibly instituionalized and forcibly drugged due to my refusal to take meds. but talking about psych drugs like the other drugs i do choose to use was helpful for understanding the actual ways these drugs function and then identifying the multitude of harms within the prescription of psych drugs (forced drugging, coercion, lack of informed consent, misleading explanations of function, lack of explanation of side effects, low threshold for "effectiveness" on the research + development side of psychiatry, the ideology of cure as eradication, irresponsible polypharmacy/refusal to manage withdrawal, denial of prescriptions +labeling patients as drug seeking for wanting stimulants, etc etc etc).

anyway. solidarity between drug users of all sorts forever and always.

I have mixed feelings about Zerxus in season 3 of TLOVM, but I’ve gotta say hearing him give a Totally Unbiased Account of EXU: Calamity with Definitely No Omissions Whatsoever was kind of funny. Like “ooh I thought I could count on my friends….they condemned our civilisation….” Ok Zerxus. Buddy. Last time I checked, Nydas was actually the only one trying to stop Laerryn from blighting the tree. You sat there like a chump and did not help whatsoever. And uh. “They condemned our civilisation with their hubris” ummm pal I think you’re missing an important detail there. Like yes the point of EXU: Calamity is that everyone played a role in the disaster, everyone was responsible in some ways for that ship crashing into the iceberg, but uh. Zerxus I think some people were maybe a little more responsible than others. Like, for example, the certain someone who pulled the Lord of the Hells into Exandria. I think that individual’s hubris is maaaaaybe a little bit more important than some of the other hubris on the table here.

And like, this isn’t me bashing the writing, I think it is in-character for TLOVM!Zerxus to say this, since he’s been a jaded miserable devil for a thousand years. But omg when he had the CHEEK to be like “in the chaos I found myself face-to-face with the Lord of Torment himself” like EXCUSE ME??? Buddy you just happened to “find yourself” face-to-face with Asmodeus huh??? Just coincidentally, on accident??? You were just taking a stroll around Avalir and he ran into you without warning??

Zerxus. Please. Be serious for a moment. Would you like to explain to Pike the exact circumstances of HOW you found yourself face-to-face with Asmodeus, hmmmmm? A certain “pulling Asmodeus through the tree and unleashing him upon the world” situation?

Like, I know it was meant to be a serious moment with lots of Calamity-related hype but like, it was really giving “Girl what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament” energy. In the most literal way possible
