 Distance-learning can feel drastically different than in person learning. There are many reasons people do distance-learning such as it can be more flexible or it’s the easiest option in terms of finances. During COVID-19 everyone had to deal with distance-learning due to the risk of the spread. I was in my second year of college when I had to transition and at first it was difficult. I am not the most text savvy person, even for being born in the early 2000s. I remember when we were transitioning from in person to online it was my first class of the day the school was reassuring us that we were in class and not going online. By the time I got to my second class they were all sending us home. Next thing I know we had a week off so that the professors could figure out how to configure there in person to online teaching.  I also enjoyed the more in person learning because it felt more real. Now I’m doing remote learning again for my final semester at FSU. It does feel different, perhaps it’s because I chose this rather than being forced or perhaps this was a more prepared arrangement. 

Open educational resources are learning resources that are available for anyone to access. Although they can be used in many ways, they are typically distributed online. There are five rights associated with open educational resources, such as retain, reuse revise, remix, and redistributed. Educators can access OER’s and even contribute materials and resources. It’s almost like a community potluck where you bring and share with others and enjoy others as well.

I think out of all the assignments we had this semester assignment for was the most challenging to me. Although the PowerPoint was easy enough, to record the voice over prove to be a slight challenge. For whatever reason the audio wouldn’t save leaving me missing 1/2 of the assignment. After much googling, I found the issue was just a slight software update that did the trick. It’s always interesting to see that technology can be so advanced yet if it’s not up-to-date, it can also be useless as well.

 Being a student you have to have access to many program in order to effectively do work. The most common program is Microsoft word. Although I’ve had my fair share of using Microsoft word I have grown more accustomed to using Google Docs. Microsoft office is a program you have to pay for, and although it’s free for students, google docs has always been free. All you have to do is have a Gmail account and you have access to docs, slides and sheets.  Lastly, I have always found google docs to be more simple and straight forward to use than Microsoft word. Yet at the end of the day everyone has their own preference.  ISTE standards are standards that provide a road map to helping students become empowered learners. Having these standards not only help students but also help teachers in enhancing their skills. One standard that I enjoy and that sticks out for me is being a leader. This standard seeks out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success...

 Hello everyone, my name is Angel. I am a sociology major at Florida State and I am taking EME 2040 to complete my credit hours for my Minor in education. I had transferred into FSU from BC . I came in with  excess credits that when I had accidentally picked up two education courses I was eminently enrolled in the education minor program. Although I find the whole situation funny it has opened me up to a pathway I didn’t think I would be interested in. Within my own field of sociology and psychology having an education background furthers my study and has allowed me to learn more about the education field even in sociological perspective.  As we all know technology is becoming more innovated as we move forward in the world but technology has become more and more common within educational settings. Schools have been moving away from the traditional paper and pencil usage within classrooms to a more tech oriented approach. Two programs that I have used within my own educati...

 When working on assignment three, which was to create a web design, I’d like to think I gained a few new skills. I learned how to create a website which would be important, not only for a teaching field, but in any field you decide to choose as a career path. I hadn’t realize the types of options I had, such as a portfolio or blog. I enjoyed how creative I could be with this assignment while also doing what was required, but also putting my own touches to it. What I didn’t realize was how tedious this task was. I had everything planned out, but trying to figure everything out took me more time than I expected. Although it was difficult at times, I never let it discourage me. I knew that if I did this, even if I messed up at times, I was here to learn. And really, that’s all that matters.  My initial thoughts on using Diigo is still the same, that it doesn’t seem like it would be a tool that I would personally use or take full advantage of.  I know that I personally haven...
