 I learned so much while completing this assignment I feel like it really helped me with understanding how to use PowerPoint tools. I had seen my teachers use tools like this before when making a Jeopardy study game but I never understood how until now. I also feel like what I learned could be beneficial for me now in terms of studying. I really enjoyed creating the buttons and making sure they were going to the right slides, there was not really anything I disliked about this project.  As a teacher, I would want to use data collection in a variety of ways but most specifically I would like to use it for keeping track of students' improvements. If I were a second-grade teacher keeping track of my students' reading levels I would want to make sure they were all improving even if it was at their own pace. By using data tracking tools I would be able to keep track of each student's performance and reading level by creating their own record. I would even be able to show these r...

I think if I was in person it may make it a little bit easier to learn how to use all the tools with face-to-face explanations but either way I've still been able to do it. When I am a teacher something I may be able to do to improve the classroom experience is offer in-depth explanations in person and online and have flexible office hours.  An open education resource is any learning material that is open to being used by anyone and it can be presented in a multitude of ways. These resources could be online, on paper, really anything that can be distributed. I found a website called  UNESCO  which explains what an open educational resource is and why it is beneficial.

I had a lot of struggles while working on this web design project but in the end, I really ended up enjoying how mine turned out. Something I was still struggling with in my corrections was including a hyperlink rather than just a plain link so if anyone has some tips let me know! But, throughout this project, I was really able to grow my understanding of how to use the Weebly website and I see myself using it again in the near future. All of its features were pretty easy to understand even without the tutorial videos so using this site was very simple and made this project pretty enjoyable.  https://briannaspaaremewebsite.weebly.com/ My use of Diigo so far has been limited but with what I have done I feel that it is useful for some things but other software seems to be more beneficial to me. Diigo is useful as a communication tool and information among groups of people while different software could do a lot more. This could just be because of my limited use of the technology thou...
