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!
Attached is what my title slide looks like!

    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.

Teacher pages are helpful resources that can be found on a school's website to get parents and student's information that is vital to success in the classroom. Many times, these pages have special logins that only parents and students have in order to maintain privacy in the classroom. While looking around for some different teacher pages, I found Chile's high school in Tallahassee's school website that has many helpful resources that teachers have for students. Publicly,  I could tell that this school has many different options for students when it comes to class pages and that teachers can use a variety of websites to relay information to their students. These websites, which are easily accessible from the school website, can be used in many ways for students to virtually learn, communicate, and study with their teacher outside of the classroom. Chile's High School class pages As a future educator, I can see myself incorporating a...

Before this class, I had never really used twitter. I was aware how twitter worked and had my friends show me funny tweets frequently but never thought about having a profile for myself. I haven't found twitter to be super beneficial, but it does provide some good humor from time to time. In my future career, twitter won't be a very helpful source to my students or my profession as I would like to be a speech pathologist. Unfortunately the digital divide is something that greatly affects students across the entire country and even the world. As many students do not have access to technology and as the world grows more dependent on technology, these students are falling behind. Due to this, I will need to fight for technological equality for my future students by introducing them to different  technology. This may be difficult, but if the work is put in I think I can be successful in advocating for them. Academic software can be a blessing and a curse in the classroom. Sometimes...

These past couple of weeks have been my first experiences using Diigo. I had never heard of this website before recently, and truthfully struggled in how to use the website. I like that the website allows you to easily find different links and save the ones you find useful to your library. I don't like Diigo for the set up of the site. The website is older looking and could use a facelift to make it modern and appealing to more current websites. Blogging has not been what I expected it to be. Before this class, I didn't know too much about blogs; I was not aware that blogs were customizable and that they can have different links that lead to different areas of the blog page. One of my favorite things about blogging is getting to customize each post to make it look 'cute'! However, I am not a huge fan of how each person with a blog can have them set up differently. Though unique touches are nice, sometimes it take...
