Wow! The semester is almost over and I been away for a while during the last few weeks, I have learned that using technology in the classrooms is not a bad idea.  Now I know that there are many useful sources on the web that can help our future students from K-12 and college students like me to be successful in our education.  For example the usage like Google’s power point that allows me to edit via video chat with my group members in case we can’t meet. Another great tool was a website that can organize my side notes.  I am old school and I like to get all my colorful pens out and write on my books because I like to see my book colorful. But this website can actually help people to be organize effectually without losing their information, and that’s when it comes handy.

Finally this week I got the chance to do my presentation of the White Buffalo Calf Woman in front of my classmates, even though most of my classmates left before my presentation. But anyways life goes on; I was able to explain the main ideas about our chapter and the reasons why we have many misconceptions about the myths that have a woman as god.  Before my presentation there were two others that explained the meaning of a sacred place, and the relationship of families, friends, and love.  The first one was the Vietnamese myth title The Areca Tree. The other myth was the Popul Vu a Mayan myth.  What I learned about these two myths is the importance of natural elements such as the water.  During the The Areca Tree presentation the group was discussing about the meaning of a sacred place and how a sacred place can be any particular place that have a meaning to the people.  But also said that a sacred place can also have a connection to religious beliefs and is use to worship gods.
