TED Ed: Heroes Journey

I was looking for new resources to increase my cluster of information when I came across the TED Ed videos. These are great short videos to share to a class during class time. They provide information on ancient myths, stories, and on writing and a bunch of other educational videos.

Here's a link to the website: https://ed.ted.com

 As an example, I took a look at the Heroes Journey video by Matthew Winkler. In the video, Winkler explains what the heroes journey is, and how it is relevant in movies and books today.

Lynda is a website that contain a ton of online courses to add and improve a plethora of skills to your arsenal. I chose to look at this resource for my personal learning network, and I found this website to be quite useful. I really enjoyed looking through all of the courses you can take. I took a leadership course to try it out, and I enjoyed it overall. I like the pdfs of diagrams and info they give you along with the course as well. Lynda was a great way to improve skills, which can prove to be useful for whatever profession you choose to go into.
