Blog Journal #9

 I have both good and poor experiences with EME2040. I liked how this class introduced me to different tools and sites that I previously had no clue that they existed. I didn't like how this class used things from Microsoft at times, as they always seemed to give me trouble for no good reason, and I don't like how this class is structured in a way as if it is expecting me to be a teacher in my future career. When I do become a teacher (I won't), I would improve the experience of my students by having the course be considerate to those that don't have a specific career in mind for their future. 

Open educational resources are learning resources that are normally online, which anyone can access and use through numerous ways. One example of this is OER Commons. This site allows people to view, create, and even share OERs amongst others in groups. This site contains a whole library of OERs that people can view and use for their own needs.

There were very few things I learned from the powerpoint assignment, as I have done similar things before in the past. One thing I did learn was how to create custom slides. One thing I did not like was how, once again, Microsoft was giving me a difficult time when trying to export the video, making it far more complicated, and even impossible on my Mac laptop, for me to do. The only thing I could do to improve the experience would be to get access to a Microsoft computer. Other than that, the only thing I would really want to do with my presentation is to be able to add more slides and maybe even more detail to them.

There were a few things I didn't like when I first started using Diigo. I am not a fan of how you have to wait for people to accept the invitation to get into the group, or at the very least, how the website doesn't even bother to let you know when you've been accepted into the group. Another thing I don't like is how, in order to perform certain actions, you are forced to use the Chrome extension. Lastly, I found the place where I can upload whatever link I wanted to be slightly confusing and a bit empty too. I actually found myself enjoying blogging quite a bit. One thing I love about it is how easy it is for me to formulate what to say here, in a way that it is similar to Google Docs, instead of being confusing like Word. I also enjoy how easy it is to send new blogs to my blog page, and how simple it is for me to check out my page without having any real problems. One thing that blogging has taught me that there was a place where I could constantly post updates in c...

 When designing my website, there were a couple principles I followed when making it. I made the format of each tabs very consistent and similar to one another, in order to not make it confusing, I made it so that navigating through the tabs was easy, giving it both a regular tab menu, plus a table of contents on the home page. The one thing I disliked about this assignment was how once you picked a template for a website, there was very little that would happen if you would try to change it into something else, which did kind of force me into doing a specific topic that was different from the one I wanted. The only time I would probably use a website, and require implementing these skills that I used here, would be if I become a writer, or enter the writing field, and advertise my services and/or works.  Link:  https://eme2040spring2024.weebly.com/   I do not use any AI tools when doing work. For starters, the only time I would ever have to use something like AI is ...

There are a few ways I can deal with copyright if I was a teacher. Fair use states that I am allowed to use a limited amount of copyrighted works for the sake of educational purposes, such as teaching and research. When students create their own works, they would be able to use things in the public domain, not anything outside of it. I feel as though these ideas are sufficient enough for me and my understanding of copyright.  One issue involving technology implementation that I believe can be a problem is academic dishonesty. I feel the reason this is a prevalent issue is because of how homework is done in college. Most homework, especially those that involves answering a series of questions in sentence format, involves doing a lot of research and checking to make sure they get the right answer, leading to people wanting to save time. A way to solve this is by not having so much homework, or at least questions in homework that demand saying so much when those problems can be answer...
