For my EME2040 course, I am currently enrolled in an online asynchronous section. I like that I have the ability to work on the class at my own pace, and can delegate time to it in between my in person classes which always me to have some flexibility in my schedule. On the opposing side, not having a set scheduled time to work on a class can be difficult and challenges me to prioritize my time. When I am a teacher, I think I could improve my students' classroom experience by giving them flexibility with assignments to work at their own pace to teach time management. I think the classroom experience can be beneficial as a flex option to give students the ability to learn in different ways as well.

Open educational resources provides teachers and students with a variety of learning materials that allows everyone to have access to educational platforms. These resources are so beneficial because they always have the ability to be accessed, can be periodically updated, and are free. These resources are especially great because schools can distribute them with no cost, allowing students to have the best material at all times. One website I have found that can be a great OER locator is https://www.oercommons.org. This site allows the user to search for OERs based on subject, grade, or standard. The users of this website have the ability to edit, download, and upload documents. This is a great online resource not only for teachers, but students as well. 

I have always enjoyed working on PowerPoint, so getting to work on this assignment was fun and allowed me to practice skills that I havents gotten to use recently. Since I have taken a computer class in the past, I did not learn any new skills, rather I was reminded of ones I have not used in a long time. I liked this assignment because it reminded me about the importance of PowerPoint and how great of a tool it can be in learning. The only part I didn't enjoy was how long it took me to complete the assignment, due to me wanting everything to look just right!

    Hi Haley, great blog post! As someone with in person classes as well, I agree that it is beneficial that we are able to manage our own time in this course. It is true that sometimes this can be challenging, but setting aside time for different tasks each day ensures that I complete all my assignments by their respected deadlines.

I learned many new skills from creating a website for my future classroom. I enjoyed making a google calendar, which is something that I had never done before and found it to be something I can be using now! I really liked that I could make different pages for the various types of information I needed to include and found web design much easier than I had anticipated. I wasn't a fan that there wasn't a 'blank' design option, everything came with a template and all the features were not available to use through certain features which made the assignment a tad more difficult in terms of making the site as aesthetically appealing as I would have liked. Overall I was extremely please with how my site turned out and can't wait to make another web design in the near future!  My website Before taking educational technology, I had never heard of Diigo, so I was unsure what to expect and how to use the site. Sin...

I chose to look at the second grade ELA technology standards. This means that the student should be able to write, alone or with peers, using multiple types of technology to create a story with the help of adults. If I were currently a teacher, I feel as though I could help my students achieve this standard. Microsoft Word, promethean boards, and online story book creators are areas that I am well versed in and can be used to achieve this standard. These kinds of technology are some that I have used for many years, since I was in elementary school. Having these past experiences have prepared me for not only this class, but if I had to teach others as well. After looking over the Cpalms website, I found so many interesting ideas and resources that I could use for my future classroom. I appreciated how the website was organized by grade level then subject, with subsections of the tools within each subject. I p...

Introducing me

Hi! My name is Haley and this is my third year at FSU. I am passionate about working with children and hope to work in an educational setting one day. In my free time I love spending time with my family, finding new shoes to watch on Netflix, and reading a good book! I am taking this class in order to get a minor in education. My prior experiences with technology in education include Microsoft and google primarily.  I have used excel sheets, powerpoint, word documents, and digital calendars. I have also had experience working in Canva to make presentations and flyers for classes.  To support my learning needs and goals, I frequently use the internet, my planner, and the library to help me in my educational endeavors. For specific academic classes I rely on textbooks, my professors, and google docs to help me accomplish my studying and retain information. For the majority of my classwork I find myself using online...
