Blog Journal #10

The biggest skill I gained from Assignment 5 was how to use links in one slide in order to switch to different slides.  I had some experience with hyperlinks before, but not in this kind of manner. The one thing I disliked, like all other times I use Microsoft, was having a difficult time dealing with PowerPoint. It was extra frustrating as it was giving me a difficult time to even send the slides over in order for them to get graded. 


I'm not entirely sure when exactly I would use data collection tools in my future career. If anything, I would probably use them when in relation to how certain written works of mine are received by others, since I'm going to be in the creative writing field after all. I could probably keep a list of how well certain books of mine do well with my audience. One other thing can be or have a survey of how well I implement certain elements into my stories.

I think one technology-related skill I would like to learn next would be cybersecurity. I would like to learn this skill due to me knowing that, with a place as big as the Internet, it can be a dangerous place. As such, I would like to keep things secure, so that I, my family, and my belongings remain safe. I could possibly accomplish this by being able to develop troubleshooting skills to detect and fix any problems that may arise when using technology.

During the few times when I used Microsoft Word, I had a bit of a rough time at first, but then, it was better for me later on. When I used Microsoft Word when I was in elementary school, I didn't like having to manually save my document every time I edited it. I hadn't use it or even tried to use it ever since until back in high school, where I tried to access documents that were stuck in Microsoft Word, but I was unable to do anything because I didn't have a Microsoft account nor paid for the subscription. It wasn't until I was in college when the school gave it to me as part of having a Microsoft account and had to use it for certain classes and assignments when I finally got the hang of using Word. That being said, I still prefer to use Google Docs. I prefer this over Word because it's much more accessible. I don't have to worry about manually saving things to my computer, I don't have to pay for it, and it comes automatically when making a Google accoun...

 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. Link:  https://oercommons.org/ Ther...

When I began using social media for Personal Learning Networks, I had started with Instagram. On Instagram, I interacted with #teachertalk, leaving a comment on one of their posts. I found it beneficial as it gives great advice of keeping calm and choosing which battles to fight with students, showing the importance of having responsibility and maturity when teaching students. If was were to use either Instagram or Twitter in the future, it would most likely to be advertise and completed written works of mine.  Digital divide affects student success in school as they tend to have lower academic performances and they tend to have less access to information to further their studies. What is probably one of the main causes of digital divide is the inaccessibility technology can be for low income families. Some ways that this could affect certain teaching strategies that I use when teaching kids, as some students may fall behind during certain lessons if they aren't familiar with techn...
