  • A paragraph about your experiences in EME2040. What do you like about your classroom experience? What do you dislike about your classroom experience? When you are a teacher, what is something you can do to help improve the classroom experience? 
  • A paragraph about open educational resources (OER).  Describe these resources in your own words. Find an online resource (blog post about OER, examples of OER materials, an article about OER, etc.), provide a brief synopsis, and post the link to your blog.
  • A paragraph on new skills you acquired from working on Assignment 4: PowerPoint for Information Dissemination. Reflect on what you like/don’t like about this assignment and how you can improve it next time. 

I have never taken a class like EME2040. Most teachers do not think of social media as a valid educational tool, and it has been interesting to see how modern teachers are using it in their classrooms. My favorite day of class was when we went to the technology sandbox. I think something that would improve the classroom experience would be to get out of the classroom more like we did that day! 
Open educational resources are a great free tool for teachers to use in their classrooms. However, I did find the website difficult to navigate, with many links not being real. However, the resource I chose was a middle school level visual arts lecture, introducing adobe illustrator. I used this application in high school and this video would have been so helpful!

I have never used Microsoft Powerpoint before this class, so this project is a big learning curve for me. The most difficult part for me has been the navigation buttons and making sure they work. I have had to watch lots of YouTube tutorials for this project haha. However, I think it has been so fun to make an activity and thinking of how kids would use it.

I have no experience using MS Word. I prefer to use Google Docs for a couple of reasons. It auto-saves, it is easy to access on different devices, and you can share your work with anyone.  The concept of digital natives is interesting, and I agree that there is a difference in digital natives and immigrants. Being a digital native means you grew up on the internet (also known as "chronically online" to some people). There is definetly a difference between how digital natives and immigrants use the internet, such as what services they use, and how they use them. Throughout my learning experience, I have used technology, however college has exposed me to lots of different ways it can be used such as Canvas, Canva, and Padlet. I have no idea what the future holds for students. It seems like technology is progressing so rapidly and I am not sure how the education system will keep up. I guess we will see! Slide Questions:  1. I don't think that people born in the age of techno

A paragraph about academic software for students. Identify two software tools you would like to implement in your future classroom. Describe the software tools and why you would like to use them with your future students. My early experience using Twitter or X for my Personal Learning Network is minimal since I have been locked out of my account. However, the ban has been lifted, so I will be able to catch up on assignments with it this week!  The digital divide is the fact that some places a
