 EME Experience

    For my EME class I was in person for class and was present all but one day, due to being sick with COVID symptoms (thankfully it wasn't COVID), so far. I liked that for my classroom experience I was able to understand the teacher and what they intended and if I ever had a question they were quick to answer. I don't think there was anything I disliked really, there may have been a few things I was confused about here and there but the teacher was always willing to answer any questions I had. I guess if I had to pick something to dislike it is only really a personal thing, that being the Final project being a group project and in such a way that if someone screws it up for the rest of the group they all could fail, that's probably my only real problem I had/have, but even then it kind of makes sense due to the volume of work needed to be done.

OER

    Open Educational Resources include things such as textbooks, school/course websites, things such as that. Essentially they are free/open resources that students can access. I found a blog that talks about 5 benefits of OERs. These 5 things are: You can expand students’ access to learning, You can customize OER materials to fit your teaching needs, You can use OERs to enhance existing course material, OERs Are Often Cutting Edge, and OERs save (lots) of money for your students.

Assignment 4

    A new skill I acquired while working on both assignment 4 and 5 was how to do Action buttons in Power point. I also learned how to link them to other slides within the Power Point. For assignment 4 I really liked this assignment, as it got me into a teaching mindset and got me thinking about how I would format the slides. Another skill I learned was how to add sound to the Power Point.

 Experience Using Twitter:     Personally, I have never liked Twitter, and I have never had the desire to use it. My first and only personal experience on Twitter has been this class as it is a required part of it. I fully intend on deleting my account after the fact. I do not find Twitter beneficial whatsoever and I don't see how it will help me in my future career, I was ok with trying it for this class, but I just don't see the point in it. The Digital Divide:     The digital divide definitely effects those who don't have access to the proper technology more than those who have it, if they are affected at all, as they cannot access certain key resources or even assignments. If students right now at FSU don't have access to a computer or phone to reach CANVAS then they can't even access their assignments. In regards to classroom experience as an educator, I will most likely encounter students of a lower income household who wont have access to technology....

 My Experience with MS Word:     I have personally spent a great deal of time working with MS Word and have found that it is my go to resource for any kind of writing based need or assignment. I have used MS Word at least once a day ever since I started my college career at TCC and continued to have used it consistently in my time at FSU. For me, while MS Word has a lot of customization options, it is simple to understand and use and has consistently worked well for me. I have used MS Word since Middle school and am still using it in my Junior year of College. The ISTE Standards for Educators:     It was interesting to learn about the ISTE Standards for Educators and what they all meant. Personally I feel the most meaningful standard is that of the Leader. For me I have always done best in a class when an instructor is willing to work with their students to find what best works for them in regards to how they learn. It is, if I ever teach, how I want to wor...

 Information about me:     Hi I guess, my name is Daniel. I am, or strive to be, a very empathetic and kind person in any sort of way I feasibly can. I have a great love of fictional writing, poetry, and all around anything that can help me have an escape from this worlds constant conflicts and problems. Last year I went through all sorts of difficult events to deal with, my Grandfather dying, my dog dying, and me being diagnosed with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), to name a few, 2021 was most certainly a difficult year for a lot of folks so I hope this year will be better. Something I personally believe in is that, the only times we make a true mistake is when we don't learn something from it. I am a very introverted person so I don't exactly interact with people much, besides those I am close to, to the point where I feel like I might even be afraid of social interaction, I honestly don't know. Anyway here I am I'm a nerd and a Creative Writing Major who's scar...
