 I have had a decent amount of experience as a distance learner. I was fully online during COVID and the year after. I returned to in person classes for my last two year of high school. I enjoy the flexibility of distance learning. Yet, I feel as if it can be more difficult to teach and learn. There is more responsibility on students to put in the work, which can be challenging with younger students. As a teacher, I would improve distance learning experience through interactive assignments and providing lots of resources to help.

OER's are like a public library online. They are tools, websites, and resources anyone can access and use. This article on OER's shows how helpful and underused OER'S are. It explains how they are high quality and invaluable tools that allow anyone to succeed.

 I have not begun the second power point assignment, but I did really enjoy the first.
While working on the power point assignment 4, I learned several new tools. Specifically, how to use speaker notes and create my own slide layout. It was simple and easy once I figure out how it was done. I liked my presentation, and the main thing I would change is using better pictures that are more fun.

 I started using instagram when I was around fourteen. I have little to no experience with Twitter, and I created my account for this class. I interact a lot with health and news accounts on Instagram. It is an easy and free way to stay informed on current events, figures, and trends. Twitter could possibly be helpful in my future career as a great way to keep up with important figures and institutions in real time. Most professional have and use Twitter accounts, so I can follow and keep up with what is happening in my field.  The digital divide causes kids at school to be divided based on who has better access to software and technology. It also makes students with limited access to tech, wifi, and superior software disadvantaged with learning. Some causes of the digital divide are income and area(geography). As a teacher, not every students will have the same level of technology access and it is my responsibility to ensure that there are ways to do assignment without techno...

      I learned a lot of new things through the Web Design Assignment, because I have never done that before.  A big design principle I wanted to ensure I used was clarity. I wanted to ensure that all the necessary information was clearly laid out and easy to find. Since it was also for a younger grade, I wanted there to be a lot of pictures and visually interesting things as well. I liked the whole assignment because it taught me how to make a website and incorporate fun aspects to it. In my future career, I can set up a personal website so people can know who I am better.  https://mscorcoransseventhenglish.weebly.com/       I do not use AI tools. I just never have had any urge to. Yet, I have seen useful ways to study with and use AI tools to learn. In that way, I am motivated to use it. However, at this point in my schooling, I already have study tools that work for me. I do not have to many questions about AI. It makes sense to me and mak...
