Blog #9

 

My experience with distance learning in k-12 education was mostly attributed to COVID as most people's are. During middle school, I had to switch to fully online and utilize services such as zoom and pre-recorded lessons posted on canvas. For me, both of these methods were not the best methods for learning but also not the worst. Some classes, such as English, did not require deeper learning for me. However, math classes became difficult as I was not able to focus as much as I needed to. I have never had to use Google Classroom but I am curious how it works in teaching a full class.

Open educational resources are resources that are free to access as well as adapt and share. They can be used in many ways such as teaching, learning, and through research. Examples of these resources include full online courses, textbooks, assessment tools, etc. What's great about them is that they are released under licenses that grant permissions for reuse, adaption and redistribution.

https://www.oerproject.com/blog: This resource is an example of an OER, where teachers post online lessons. 

I did not really know how to use the recording feature in Power Point before so it was a bit of a learning curve to become accustomed to in for the project. I didn't enjoy having to record myself speak, simply because I am a bit uncomfortable with having to record myself for projects and other things but it was nice to see how it could be done in a teaching atmosphere on Power Point. For next time, I can write notes on the recording so I can provide a more coherent lesson that includes more than what is written on the slides. In my project recording, I sound a bit awkward and unprepared so a better roadmap will benefit me greatly.
