Journals of a FSU Student

       Hello everyone! Welcome to my tenth post! We are getting towards the end, and I appreciate everyone taking the time to read! Today we will be going quite a few things, which is my experiences and new skills earned through my PowerPoint interaction assignment, how I will use data collection as a teacher, interesting topics discussed in my classmates blogs, my personal experience with tech flex and digital badges in this class, and finally, a technology skill I would like to learn next. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy!      The PowerPoint interaction assignment was fun for me to do. I created an interactive geography lesson for an eighth grade class where they were able to click on each of the seven continents, which took them to a slide that had each of the regions of the continents clickable. Each region listed the names of the countries or territories found within it. One major skill I learned, with the help of a YouTube tutor...

       Hello everyone! Today I am going to be talking about my experiences in my EME2040 class, open educational resources (OERs), and about new skills I acquired working on a PowerPoint for information dissemination assignment. Hope you enjoy!     I am in the online class of EME2040. My overall experiences with the class has been positive, with the weekly assignments being clearly laid out. The assignments have also been interesting and engaging.

However, I understand why things are kept to a more defined schedule rather than a more work-at-your-own-pace kind of schedule. Furthermore, by keeping it to a more defined schedule, it keeps the class on the same page. I would probably do same in the future teaching an online class due to the advantages of it, such as, being able to assign group wo...

          Hello all! Here's the eighth blog post of the year! Today, the blog will be discussing some new skills and experience I've gained in creating a web design with the Weebly program, as well as the skills and experience I've gained with Diigo. Additionally, I  am going to talk about a website that helps me stay on top of technological innovation for education in order to help me further my professional development.      I have had experience with web design in the past, but this is the first time I used the Weebly program to create and design a website. This past week I used Weebly in order to design and create a teacher's class page, which included information such as a personal bio, announcements, calendar events, etc. I also included resources for the students and their parents, such as educational games. It's helped me understand all that goes into creating and up keeping a classroom page, as well as designing with color sche...
