Feedback Strategies

After reading about your opinion on praise and reading some of the articles, I think I decided that I believe you need both praise and critique to give good feedback. I read the article How to Craft Constructive Criticism, and I think one thing this made me think of was that its important to be honest when it comes to giving feedback. But, one point they made was talking about being a mirror and really consider how it is going to come across to them. The other article I read was Presence, not Praise. I don't really think I believe that praise is wrong and hurtful in the long run, but I do think you need a balance and that you shouldn't over do it. This is definitely where the honesty comes into play. You should be able to have mature conversations with people. Praise them when you believe that they deserve it, but don't be afraid to tell them if they are doing something that you don't agree with or if you think they can do better, because it will make them better in the long run. But everyone does need to be praised once in a while. This can definitely be specific and different for each person. 

Here is one more picture I took in Columbus, Ohio this weekend because I'm still excited about that Sooner win!

I love my family and I love that Tulsa isn't too far of a drive from them. And they can make the trip up to see me too. I have a younger brother, Adam, who just moved into his freshman year at the University of Arkansas, and I am so excited to see where his life takes him in the next couple of years. Also I have one dog who is the coolest dog in the whole world (even though all dogs are amazing). Her name is Kacy and she's 10 years old. I always make my parents send me pictures of her. Here is a picture I took of her: One of my other favorite things is food. I can't think of...

Week 6 Storytelling: The Creation

Once, there was a simple world. People communicated by talking to one another, and occasionally people would even write down their thoughts onto paper and share it with others. People traveled via foot, and occasionally by animal. But, they didn't really know how big the world really was. The simple world was nice, and many people were only in contact with the people they wanted to be in contact with and they thought it was good. One girl, however, always wondered what the world was outside of her school and neighborhood. She began to experiment in her room and eventually created a prototype of a device that would allow her to talk to her neighbor without being in plane of vision. Her neighbor, was fascinated and they began to experiment together until they could get their device able to reach farther and farther distances. However, the girls parents found out, and they were angry. There wasn't a reason to talk to people that were outside of their contact area. The girl was...
