 My experience with distance learning has been quite an up and down experience. I do enjoy not having to leave my room in order to attend class and my professors being so flexible and understanding of the situation. On the other hand it is hard because I do not have a break away from my computer when it comes to school, group assignments are very hard, it is easy to get worried that you are missing assignments because you can't find them on the website, and I have not yet gotten to experience life on a university campus. All in all, it is obtainable for now because it is necessary, but I am looking forward to the day I can attend classes in person. 

Open Educational Resources, or OER, is making whatever accessible educational content you have and putting it out across the internet for other educators to find and use. The information that is found can be remoulded to make it something different from its original. Then you can redistribute that information again. https://www.k12.wa.us/student-success/learning-standards-instructional-materials/open-educational-resources/suggested-oer-sites is a website organised for this exact purpose. It has links to many different OER websites specified for what you're looking for.

The last two power points I did for this class have really expanded my knowledge of how to use power point and create them. I learned how to disable clicking through it(like a kiosk), add buttons to navigate to different slides, and how to put a voice over on the powerpoint. I did not think I would ever learn how to do these things, but now that I know how to do them, I am excited for my future classroom where I can make even more of these! Here is a screenshot of my assignments.

 Hello everyone! My name is Amanda Kroecker and I am from West Palm Beach. I am currently a junior at FSU and studying english. I transferred from TCC this semester, but am bummed I will not get to be on campus. I am taking this course for my education minor and am very excited! I think I am pretty familiar with educational technology. When I was in elementary school my teachers would use projectors, which are pretty outdated now, but were very new at the time. In high school and even now, we had to go on our phones or computers to use kahoot. And now I am using all of my technology in an educational way because all classes are remote. I do not feel as if I have a ton of personal learning networks. My mom is a teacher though, so if I ever need school supplies or anything like that I can always ask her. I have website all over the internet that help me further understand lessons, like youtube or quizlet. And lastly, I have my very professors that I can always go to.

 It is very important to know what copyright and fair use are. Copyright is a law that protects original works by giving the creator credit for their work and not letting other people claim it or share it without saying where they got it from. Fair use is ways you can share parts of work you find while also giving credit to whoever created it and using it to explain something else or appreciate it. As a teacher in the future, I would deal with this by always stressing to address where works they are using for assignment have come from and to do so correctly so they do not get in trouble and receive a fair grade. There are many technology implementation issues arising in schools and in the classroom, meaning as teachers we will have to figure out ways to find solutions and handle them. Specifically, in regards to academic dishonesty, I would pull a student aside after class, explain to them what they did wrong, why it was wrong and tell them that if they do it again I will have to give

 Teacher Pages are a great way to stay connected with students and parents while also staying organised. I took a look at a teacher named Sandra Brinkman's page for her Marine Science and Honors Biology classes. Her front page has all the information for all assignments and lessons and anything else they will need to know for the week as well as her contact information. There are four tabs that consist of the Welcome Page, Meet the Teacher, Important Documents, and Calendar. It is all very organised and easy to access any information that students or parents may need. https://www.leonschools.net/Page/41217  As far as my own classroom goes I will use a variety of different technology tools. For example I will use any platform my school requires(like canvas or google classroom), google docs, kahoot, brain pop, etc. I will have my own teacher page to make sure that assignment, quizzes, extra study materials, calendars, my contact info as well as the school's and more are easily ac
