Natural Health - Good Versus Bad Website

          When looking at good and bad websites there are a few things to consider. The aesthetic of the website is very important, and first impressions do matter. This is true with websites. If I see two different websites next to each other, the one I am more drawn to is more likely the one that I will want to look at. But a good website is much more than just appearances. A good website must offer what it says it offers as well. Beyond looks, functionality is very important for a good website. If there are glitches and a lack of information or options, a person is more likely to search for what they are looking for elsewhere.          An example of this would be the following websites for natural health products. A good website example is Thrive Market (thrivemarket.com). A bad website example is H & Natural (https://www.gosupps.com/health-supps-brands/h-natural.html). These two websites are very different when...

  Duolingo is an application that I have used myself and has taught me a lot quickly. I plan on using this application more and gaining more knowledge to better apply myself in the Spanish language as it is very valuable in my job and in life in general. There are many things you can do with the Duolingo Application including practicing saying different words in other languages. You can also practice identifying the meaning of words in another language. You can practice spelling and forming sentences as well in whatever language you choose to practice.  Something I love about Duolingo is that you can set up goals and times you want to spend on learning a new language. Set your own pace and Duolingo will remind you of your practice so you do not forget to hop on and practice for the day. Also it helps that the visuals are just adorable. There is a lot to learn if this application is used and practice continues. I plan on continuing using this app so that I can gain more in know...

Chapter Seven

Image
 Chapter seven is called Sustaining the Momentum. A quote that stuck out from this chapter is, "What if you work and prepare, but nobody shows up for your network? Or worse, people show up, look around, decide it isn't worth their time, and leave!" This is a legitimate feeling that people have when creating a learning network. It is a fear that all the work you put in will be for nothing. But a lot of good things come from someone taking that chance. Putting in the work and taking care of your creation is vital to its growth. A learning network takes care and time to grow, like a garden. In appreciative inquiry members work from a what if? and strengths perspective rather than focusing on what needs help. Within appreciative inquiry, there are some assumptions and principals. The assumptions include but are not limited to: recognizing differences is of value, what you focus on becomes your reality, and language creates reality. The principals include: what we concentrate ...
