 Yes, I have experienced distance learning, just like we all had to during the initial beginning of COVID-19. The only thing I liked about distance learning was the fact that I could do my work no matter where I am. The negative thing about distance learning is the fact that it was distant. Distance learning was hard and bad for me because I do my best when I am in a classroom and have structure, while I was home their was a lot of room for me to do other things, and my attention span is very short. It was extremely hard to focus on my work and I had little to no motivation to do so. So, my grades took a turn for the worse unfortunately. As a future educator, I would send encouraging messages, and let the children know that I am available for any questions or concerns. 

OER is just basically as the text describes it, pieces of work that have been book marked by someone else that lets you use their work the best way you see fit. I  have found a website that centers itself around OER. It basically educates you on OER, open access, open data and other topics while focusing within the context of higher education. It gives articles about the topics mentioned above. 

I have not done the second PowerPoint assignment so I don't know what's to like or dislike about it, but I can speak for the first one. First, I don't like all the little extra things we have to do, just feels like a lot. I like that it helped me brush up on a few things that I haven't done in a while. And I need improve on how I navigate and execute a few things, I got the job done but it was a little frustrating. I also need to add numbers to the slides.

      I feel like I have used work pretty much as long as I can remember. I started using Word I believe in high school, it could have been in middle school. At my school we mainly used google docs for our assignments so that's why I'm not so sure when exactly did I start using word. I think I like both about the same, Word can be very annoying at times to use, but that is what I prefer to use. I am not sure why I prefer to use it, it's just easier access I believe.      I have selected the ISTE Standard for students to be most meaningful to me. To me this standard is basically saying how technology can be used as a tool and a healthy thing used to help the kids, and not seen as this evil thing that will stunt their learning experiences or growth. It is evident that the world as we know it is changing, we are relying more and more on technology  everyday. K-12 educators has to know this and work with  this, their students will have to rely on...

 My initial experience with Diigo was not too interesting. I like the fact that it has the different tags for different things. For example, it has the annotated tab, images, and others. There is not too much that I don't like about Diigo. I haven't got much a feel of it.  My experience with with blogging has been pleasant. It is a pretty easy site to navigate and get through. I like the fact that you can have a group setting I think that is a good add-on to the site if you wanted to do as were doing and have it as a class thing. I've learned plenty of new terms from this blogging process. Like last weeks term, digital divide etc.  There are a lot of Web 2.0 tools available that would efficiently get the job done for future teaching assists.  I think PBS learning media would be a good tool to use for my future in teaching. It has videos, games, photos and other things that will be helpful to hep children understand a subject. It will also work as a new fun way to int...

I am not totally sure what design principles mean, but I used a series of things to construct my web page. I did not like this assignment. Mainly because it's just like the assignments are literally back to back and no break, but aside from that I don't think it was so bad. It's cool to learn about how to design a web page. he skills I learned will definitely be helpful in the future because as a future teacher, being as tech savvy as you can is great.  Link to my website .  I do not use AI tools, unless Siri counts as AI. I use her to set reminders everyday or set my alarms. It's very helpful to use it when your hands are full or anything, so yes I'm motivated to use it. No, I don't have any questions.  I used ChatGPT once before to help me with an essay prompt in another class. I wasn't sure exactly what the prompt was trying to say so I didn't know how to continue and ChatGPT helped a lot with that. I did'nt really learn anything about AI chatbots...
