5 tips to the functionality of the blog
1. It took me a while to figure out how to access the blog pages of other students in the class. Using the roster on blackboard for this class helped me get the correct username for each student.
2. Make sure when uploading a picture or video that you are in visual mode not html, it won’t display correctly if submit it in html.
3. Get to know your classmates and their addresses in person before trying to find them on the internet, it helps you understand the personality of the writer behind the blogs before critique of their posts.
4. Upload as many videos and pictures as you can. Other than the neat tools BGSU Blogs provide you to organize your blog posts, the amount of technology externally you can use, will improve the overall creativity of your blog.
5. Have Fun on your Blog and check out other profiles often!

Comparing BGSU capital improvements to Toledo, there is some comparison.” -Emily Bloom-
The schools are relatively the same age but I feel BGSU has an edge on funding that Toledo does not. I am jealous they are building a ropes course.
People are human and make mistakes. As an NFL official, they are expected to be perfect and not make any mistakes – Mandie Carey-
This has to be the toughest job mentally on a human being. They don’t get paid nearly enough for what they do!
Many universities are so different in many ways such as state funding, amount of students in attendance, and size of the campus. – Adie Heyne-
This is interesting, I have never heard anyone ever compare their school to BGSU. Thats probably because there isn’t…

BGSU Ice Arena Reflection
The beginning of the tour I found to be the most interesting, since it was the first to be remodeled in the four phases of the renovation. The rubber floor is going to be very useful especially when open skates are taking place. Skaters will now be allowed access from one rink to the other, vending machines, and other parts of the facility pertaining to the lobby. The initial cost might have been high to install such flooring, but I don’t think there will be any hidden costs during its lifecycle. One thing that I woulld be concerned with is the depreciation on the section of the rubber floor where the zamboni will be constantly crossing to get to the practice ice sheet. Another concern that I would consider not only with the flooring materials but with all other phases in the renovation of the arena is the maintenance costs over time. Indirectly, the tour guide did not mention whether a maintenance plan is currently developed but it also sounds like funding is coming in for completion of the renovation as it is made available. The renovations made during phase one might have had some wear and tear by the completion of the fourth phase.
I am really glad that the BGSU Hockey team and the facility itself has been saved, there has been so much history, championships, and quality players to have graduated from the athletic program. The tour was very informative, especially when we visited the mechanical room behind the scenes and saw how the ice was kept frozen.
Below is a link to the newly renovated Matthews Arena near Boston. It is the oldest ice arena in the country
Here is a link to the Arena in Brandon Florida, where are tour guide mentioned had problems with pollution. This is where I learned to ice skate as a kid. Not very many people I met since I moved to Ohio have said they learned to skate in Florida haha. Kind of weird.
