     As the semester moves on I have had a good experience so far in EME2040. Professor Dan He is very kind and truly does care for her students. I am taking this course fully online and I have had some likes and dislikes. Some of the things I have liked so far in this class is how organized everything is, I like how we know exactly what is expected from us and when all the assignments are due. I also like how we can look ahead into next weeks materials and assignments. This helps if I have a busy week coming and need to do the assignments before hand. One thing I dislike about taking it fully online is the communication aspect, it is a little harder to communicate with fellow students and the professor compared to if it was an in person class. I think one thing I can do as a teacher to improve this course would be nothing, I say this because this class is managed smoothly and it already addresses the on dislike that I have because there is a class group chat type of thing for communication. 

    To my understanding OER's are teaching, learning, and research materials created and licensed to be free for the end user to own, share, and sometimes, modify. The online resource I found that explains OER'S and gives examples of them is a website created by Indiana University of Pennsylvania. This website provides a ton of OER's for many of subjects like math. science, etc. This website also explains what OER'S are, where you can find them, and the purpose of them. This is the link to my website: https://libraryguides.lib.iup.edu/oer/finding_oer

    After completing assignment 4 I have acquired a variety of new skills on PowerPoint. These skills include how to add a footer to the slide, how to do add speaker notes, and how to record myself giving the presentation directly in the PowerPoint. One thing I did not like about this assignment is the time limit we had for the presentation, I felt kind of rushed during the presentation trying to fit all of the information in. One suggestion for this assignment would to simply just add a few more minutes on the time limit. One thing I liked about this assignment was how it tested my understanding of PowerPoint, I have not used PowerPoint much over the last few years, so this assignment definitely tested my skills on PowerPoint.

      After doing this assignment I acquired a few skills that I did not have before. Some of these skills being website formatting, how to import a google calendar, and how to create links to multiple pages on a single website. What I liked about this assignment is how it taught me a bunch of new things. For example, I have never created a website before and now I have the resource to do it and I know how to create a good website. I also liked how this assignment allowed me to be creative with what my website was going to be about and the design of it. I can learn from this assignment in my future career because now I know what goes into making a website and how the layout should look if I ever needed or wanted to create one in my future career.   http://scienceclasseme2040.weebly.com     I think diigo is a great website for sharing information upon peers. Some skills I have acquired from diigo include sharing annotations and adding sticky n...

      The teacher pages I looked through were from the school Vineland Elementary School. The setup for these teacher pages were very organized and easy to navigate through. Each grade had a list of the teachers in that grade and a overview of that teacher. For example I clicked on first grade and there were links to each of the teachers pages. This page gave information like their qualifications and how long they have been teaching at the school. I will say not all of the grades were set up as nicely as the first grade one was, as some of them were lacking a ton of information. Overall as a public viewer I was able to see overviews of some of the teachers, ways to contact them some of the teachers, and a list of some the tools that will be used in that grade. https://www.yourcharlotteschools.net/domain/3829      As I look at my future I plan on using technology to accomplish some of my professional responsibilities more efficiently. The way I will do this ...
