 From working on Assignment 5, I learned a lot of new skills. I had no idea, I could add the next, previous and home buttons to a slide. I learned how to do that, and how to add it to each slide page and how to make it actually work. I also learned how to link a work or text to take you directly to another page. I think this is a super cool and useful too that I will most definitely be using in my teaching career. I got a 5 on the assignment, so I would not change anything, but I think if I was to redo this, I would add more questions and probably a more in depth on the answer explantation as to why it was wrong or right.    I like the idea of using data collection tools in my future classroom. Depending on what age I work with, would define how I use the data collection tool. If I end up teaching high school and or college level, I would most definitely use these to put out surveys that relay to what we are learning about, or about standardized testing. If I worked with ...

 

 So far in my EME class I have enjoyed it. I loved creating Power Points and the website. I really enjoyed this last assignment for the non-linear navigation. I really enjoy getting to be creative, create graphics and make up lessons. There were no more spots left for the in person and or asynchronous class, so my section is completely online. I like the online class experience but I also really like in person classes and or even being able to do zoom's once a week or something. I work a lot so I am unable to make office hours via zoom, but I wish the class could meet, just to get to know everyone! Open Educational Resources are teaching, learning and research materials. They are posted online for everyone to use, on a public domain, have an open license, are are at no cost, able to reuse and distribute. They are free to access and use for the purpose of education. Here is a website I found that is an open educational resources database. This website allows you to explore, create ...

 In doing the Web Design I learned new skills and techniques. I learned how to add my google calendar into Weebly, and use Weebly as a whole. I had no prior experience to using Weebly before this assignment, so I had to learn how to create tabs, add images, change texts, and lists. Overall I loved this assignment and got to be creative with it and pretend I had my own class. I absolutely loved designing the website and being able to be creative. I will honestly use this website for future classes, unless I find a new website or the school requires that I use one type. I really enjoyed this assignment as a whole. https://firstgrademsg123.weebly.com I learned new skills while working with Diigo. I found it complicated at first, but after adjusting I enjoyed this website and tool. I found it useful that this allows all students to collaborate together and questions to be asked. I like the idea of using this in the future for discussion questions, because it allows for citations to be ...

 I created a Canva graphic about a day in my life.  This just is a cute little graphic that describes a day in the life of me. I usually start my day out with some coffee, either from Starbucks or me making it at home. I also usually work on school work most of the day, because I do have 5 demanding classes that require a lot of work. I work at an after school program here in Tallahassee and start my work day at 2pm, so I included a picture of me at work. After work I go home, make dinner or eat at my sorority house, then come home to cuddle with my kitten and play with her! Then at night I either finish up my school work from earlier or work on my internship! I personally love watching TikToks of the day in my life, especially from teachers or famous influencers. I think it is a creative and fun way to inform others!

For my teacher's website, I looked at the grade school's website that I attended. I found the school's classroom tab and clicked on a second grade teacher's page. It took me to a second link that was about second grade. This teacher's website had different tabs. The tabs were as followed, all about her, weekly schedule, homework, resources, reading/vocabulary, science, social studies and religion. No matter what tab you clicked on the side bar with all the tabs and a link to the home page was there. I liked the layout and theme of the website, but I did notice that it was a little unorganized. All the homework and resources were just listed and at first glance it could get lost. Overall, I really liked the theme and tab layout of her website. As a future educator, I want to create my own website and keep it updated weekly, so parents and guardians know what is going on in our classroom and to keep them updated on current events. homework and more. https://keribarton...
