    Hello again!  I have experienced distance/ remote learning, and I first started to experience it during my senior year of high school. During my senior year of high school when COVID-19 started to spread and the world was on lockdown, my high school started doing Zoom for classes. I then started doing college through distance learning. I have overall enjoyed my experience of distance learning. I  feel it helped with my transition from high school to college and now I have started to go to in-person classes more. Online learning kind of my school anxiety on pause. The one thing I did not like about distance learning was the transition from distance learning to in-person learning. I feel like I pressed play on my school anxiety again and now I am learning again how to cope with it.  In the future as a teacher, I plan to communicate clearly and give my students materials that are accessible to them both inside and outside of the classroom. I also plan to constantly do announcements weekly to several times a week to keep my students updated on what is happening in our classroom. 

    Open Educational Resources (OER) are resources that are available to anyone for using, remixing, updating, sharing, and adapting. Examples of these types of resources include textbooks, worksheets, lesson plans, and quizzes. The open educational resources website is a great website for finding resources online. The home page asks what are you looking for, the subject, educational level, and what type of standard for the resources.

    After completing the two PowerPoint assignments I learned many new skills that I would be able to use in the future when I have to use PowerPoint for work. A couple new skills that I acquired from these past two assignments include my overall level of knowledge of how to design on PowerPoint and my understanding of how to edit certain images within the PowerPoint program. On the next power point assignment I can learn more about certain slide transitions and elements that I can do within the slide. This would be a great way to make my PowerPoint more interesting.

 Hello again! I found working on the web design assignment overall fun. I now have new skills such as using Google Sites and using an embedded calendar. I had no idea what both of those were before starting my assignment. I also found it interesting creating a creative commons for the website, I felt like creating one was useful information for my future career as a teacher. I feel it is very common now for teachers to create class websites and I definitely see myself doing it in the future. It is a great way for parents to see announcements, a quick way for them to learn about me, have my contact information, and see what their children are up to.  https://sites.google.com/view/ms-lianas-classroom/home Diigo has taught me several valuable skills, but one of the most significant is providing me with a strong foundation for conducting research.   This tool can be useful in my future classroom by creating accounts for my students as well. Having my students create acco...

Hey again! Florida Computer Science Standards are standards set for each grade level from grades kindergarten through twelfth grade for computer curriculum. For children in first grade, a benchmark they have to follow is "Benchmark SC.K2.CS-CC1.1" which has the students use different tools that allow them to communicate and collaborate with one another. They should also be able to recognize different online databases and libraries. Personally, I do feel prepared enough to integrate technology into my curriculum based on my current skill set. I consider myself pretty comfortable and familiar with using technology and feel that I won't have too much of a problem teaching it either.   I used the CPALMS Educator Toolkit and went to the first-grade mathematics section of the website. After looking through the lesson plans, text resources, and tutorials I have learned that I can use these resources in my future teachings. I can use it in my future teaching by looking at lesson ...

 Hello again! In class, I have learned how to use an online website named Diigo. Diigo is an online website that can be used for online research because it allows you to bookmark, and write notes on different websites. It is a great tool when conducting research because it makes writing notes and saving information much easier. I also really enjoyed that Diigo can be accessed across all of my devices. This means that I can use it on my phone computer and iPad while doing different things in different places.  Throughout this course, we have been blogging weekly and it is safe to say this is an assignment that I really enjoy doing. I feel it is a great way to reflect on what we have been learning throughout the week and I also feel it is a great way to show how much we really know and understand about the material that has been taught to us. The only negative opinion that I have about blogging is that I was always unsure how to start my blog to make it flow better. I have now r...
