My experience as a distant learner has been rather positive. At the beginning of COVID-19 I was not found of the sudden change, but overtime I learned to love it. I love being able to do my work at my own pace. I do not dislike anything about distance learning. However, as a teacher I think it is extremely difficult. As a future teacher I will have to set up a lot online but it will benefit the students in the end.
As a future educator I will be sure to incorporate Open Educational Resources (OER), which are learning resources that anyone can access and use online. These "open" educational resources are free to use and you can often remix them, share them, and edit them. An example of an OER is a blog post titled, "What Memes Can Teach Us About Applying Educational Research in Practice". It discussed how the relatable-ness of memes improves learning. You can view it here: https://opencontent.org/blog/archives/7069.
The PowerPoint assignment I completed was very fun, I had a great time created my lesson and I learned many new skills I can apply in the future. I learned how to insert a header and footer, I learned how to create animations in PowerPoint, and more. My favorite thing to learn was how to create my own slide layout! I would like to change the colors of the slides next time. As of right now I have only completed one of the PowerPoint assignments but will attach the other photo once the other is done.
