Personally, this semester has been a lot better than other past semesters of distant learning. Due to covid I got used to being online and got a lot more comfortable with distant learning. One big thing that I like about distant learning is that I can work on my own pace at my own time. With work and other things in life this is a huge help. One thing I do not like about distant learning is that you don’t get to interact with your classmates and professors the same way you do in class. When I am a teaching the one thing I plan to do to help improve my students distant learning experience is communication. I think communication is the biggest way to fill the gap lost between in person class and distant learning. Letting your students know that even if you are not there in person with them that you are still there for them.

Open educational resources are educational materials that are open to anyone. The website I linked is a list of open educational resources. The list is organized into different types of resources. There are groups like multimedia and open access books. I went through some of the resources listed and there are some really great materials that I plan to use in my future.

Before these assignments I was familiar with power point but did not use all of the resources that I did on these. I have had teachers in the past post voice recordings on their PowerPoint but never knew how to do them myself. I do not like listening to myself talk so I was not a fan of recording myself speaking. I also learned a lot making the PowerPoint interaction assignment. I never knew how to make it to where you can go to another slide from clicking on a button on the slide. I did jeopardy so I had to make it where you could click on all the numbers.

I have used Microsoft Word a lot over the years of my education. I have used it the most in my college years but also a lot during my time in high school.  I prefer to use Microsoft word over other software’s most of the time. Microsoft word is very user friendly and easy to maneuver. The only time I prefer to use a software such as google dox is if it’s something I am working with others on. This is because it is easier for multiple to edit documents on google dox. The standard that is most important to me is 2.2b. This standard is about using your role as a teacher to speak up about getting the technology resources students need to meet each of their needs. Equity is something that I believe is so important in the education field. Not every child’s needs or resources are the same. Each student should have what they need to succeed. Technology and digital content have become a huge part of education. However, there are some students who can’t afford a laptop or do not have Wi-Fi at

  In the future I plan to teach 2 nd grade general education. I plan to use surveys to track their progress. I would use it to see what they know before and after lessons. This will also allow me track the effectiveness of my lesson giving. The topics I found most interesting when reviewing my classmates’ blogs is the diversity. None of the websites or blogs I saw where the same. Everyone has their own sense of style and their own creativity, and it shows. I really enjoyed looking at my classmate’s website designs. We all had the same directions, yet all put it together differently and I love that. I think it really speaks about education in general were all doing the same thing, yet we all have our own way of doing it. While I do not have any experience with digital badges and tech flex I read about them. I think it is a a great idea. It’s a great way to get involved and get excited about educational technology. It’s a great way to bring and keep fun in learning. The technology
