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 choose second grade because this is the age group of kids I would like to work with. The standard I choose was “LAFS.2.RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings, glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently”. I feel that I have the knowledge needed to implement this standard in a classroom. Since I choose second grade they are learning the basic skills, these are skills that I have had a lot of practice with. I believe I could find some fun ways to make sure my students meet these standards, I chose second grade math for my class. The resource that I found was an interactive video and lesson about value. There was a video giving the objective at the beginning then went into the lesson. You have to complete each video and step before moving on. I would use this tool in my classroom because it a fun way to learn math. On top of that it also gets students using the computer and learning

Copyright is a way for people to protect their work. It requires anyone that uses their work to give them credit. Fair use allows educators to use copywritten materials to an extent for education purposes. As a teacher I may use other materials as reference or inspiration but make sure to make it my own. If I use articles or videos in my PowerPoints, I will make sure that I site them correctly and give credit to the creator. Cyberbullying is something that both students and teachers have to deal with that 10 years ago didn’t really exist. With the increase of social media use at all ages bust mostly school aged cyberbullying can hurt a lot of students. A possible solution to this is to raise awareness encourage parents to monitor student’s social media use. Provide information to both parents and students about what cyberbullying is, how and where is occurs. When cyberbullying occurs take action. There should be clear guidelines of the punishment that will occur if a student is caugh

  I really enjoyed the web design assignment. I learned that I am a little more creative than I thought I was. One thing I liked was that it gave you a really good base set up but you could make it your own. One thing I didn’t like was that I couldn’t put my own header picture because I was using the free version. I think everything I learned from this assignment will be very useful for my future career. Teacher or not a lot of occupations require you to have a website. However, as a teacher I know a great program and skills to use for my teacher website. I learned that Diigo is a great resource to use when annotating articles. I also learned that this a great resource to use to keep all your materials organized and saved in one place. Before I took this class I had no idea what Diigo was. I like that you can share your articles and annotations with those in your class. This application can allow for collaboration between my students in my future classroom. Students can learn from ea
