Blog Journal 9 



    As a distance learner, I liked not having to be on the physical campus in order to obtain my degree. As college student, we have to work and get our education and unfortunately for some, that means having to choose one over the other. What I didn't like for some of my classes was that some teachers felt lonely not being in the environmental classroom and I don't understand why they would feel lonely. It caused them to appear sensitive when talking to them since most of them weren't social outside their lives as professors. When I become a teacher, I would like to not have the classes on zoom and instead just the assignments and have the students call me over the phone whenever they need help. It allows for a more structured learning environment when the goal is anyways to turn in assignments. It cuts out the need to lecture. 


Open educational resources are open resources that are available free on the web for the use of learning. These resources range from text to video files that allow people to learn tasks or skills. The purpose of these resources is to allow free education so that many people can have access to this information and that it isn't withheld from anyone. In the blog post provided below, the author provides a wide variety of college-level science material that allows anyone to study in their own free time. This blog also explains what OER can also be used for in the future.  https://davecormier.com/edblog/2009/02/22/oers-shining-light-new-textbook-model-or-harbinger-of-a-new-imperialism/


I learned how to use PowerPoint to create games for classrooms. I didn't know that PowerPoint could be used for other things than research. I also focused more on learning how to create games in PowerPoint because I know that will be useful to bring the classroom together and reward everyone for being energetic. i have nothing but positives for the PowerPoint assignment since I haven't done a PowerPoint in almost 2 years and I didn't even remember how to use PowerPoint on my computer. It was very fun and in the future, I plan on using it for the benefit of relaxation in the classroom.

My Blog Journal      Hi, my name is Heshawin Gilleg and I love soccer because it is more exciting than most team sports that I watch on television. I grew up in a small town just outside of Tallahassee and later moved to Tallahassee for school. I love dining and robots. My major is Business Psychology and my minor is in English.      Prior to this class, I did not know a lot regarding computers. Recently I read about the internet and how cybercrimes occur over extensive email hacks that happen more regularly than someone would guess. I have used school laptops and other devices for research in my major. I have participated in several studies where the focus was on how the length of time someone can consume while concentrating on a task without checking their phone.      The learning resources that I use around the university are the considerate tutors that are conveniently located online and often if my class has teachers assistants they are more than essential to stretch out to help w

Blog Journal Two      My experience Microsoft Word in kindergarten has evolved so much since then. In kindergarten, I loved games on the computer and then one day the teacher showed us Microsoft Word and taught us to spell simple words on the computer. Since then, I have improved and grown on to love word processing software. Google Docs is much more efficient to use in my opinion since it allows two people to work on one Word Document instead of having to send the document to someone else and wait for them to send it back. It is definitely an innovative approach to writing.       A standard from the ISTE standards list that means the most to me is the Citizen standard which states, "Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world." I believe the best way to teach is to lead by example and from that model, everyone can follow and motivate someone else in their own preferred method. In my own words, it is the educator
