    My experience in EME2040 so far has been great! I was in an in person section. I liked that my professor was always there to help. No question was a silly question and she ensured understanding on every topic. I did not really dislike anything about being in this classroom. It is one of the classes that I really enjoy. Something I can do to help improve this classroom experience is make sure that I am actively participating and not just sitting distracted. 
    Open Educational Resources are materials for teaching and learning that are either in the public domain or have been released under a license that allows them to be freely used, changed, or shared with others. This website gives a really great definition of Open Educational Resources (which is shared above). It also has a video explanation of OER's, and explains some background information about these resources. It is a great website to refer to. https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/open-educational-resources-oer-overview-and-definition/2017/04
    I learned a lot of new skills from assignment number four. I learned how to use different layouts. I also learned how to change the backgrounds and add narration to a slide show presentation. What I liked about the project was there was a lot of creativity. We were able to do a presentation on whatever topic we wanted. What I didn't like about it was there were a lot of very specific criteria so if you missed even one thing you did not get a high pass. Luckily I got a high pass but it would have been upsetting to work that hard and receive a pass or a fail.

          I learned a lot of new skills though working on the website assignment. I learned how to link a page to another page, add videos, and add hyperlinks. I also learned how to make a website in general, I had done it once before but I was not good at it at all. I liked the creativity of the assignment and that I was able to use wix instead of weekly because I was much more comfortable with wix. What I did not like was the time commitment, I spent several hours on it in hopes of receiving a high pass. What I learned in this assignment can be used in my future career because I can make a website for my classroom when I become a teacher.  https://cohengirlssamantha.wixsite.com/mysite     I have learned many things while working with Diigo. I have learned to make sure that credibility is established. I have also learned how to annotate effectively, and how to bo...

      Hi! My name is Samantha Cohen. I am a freshman here at Florida State University.  My major is Special Education. I have a twin sister who is majoring in pre-optometry at the University of Alabama. I also have a younger brother who is a senior in high school. My mom is a school social worker, and my dad is a civil engineer. I have a dog who is half Chihuahua and half Dachshund. Her name is Maggie. I like to sing, hang out with friends, and watch Disney Pixar movies. I don't have many prior experiences using technology in an education setting besides what I did in my EDF 1005 class, which is introduction to education, in the fall semester. We made PowerPoints using google slides and Microsoft powerpoint. We also created a timeline using canva. Finally, we accessed various readings through canvas. Additionally we uploaded a few different videos to YouTube.  A personal learning network of mine is singing. I really enjoy singing, it is one of my favorite t...

      I learned several skills from assignment number five. I learned how to hyperlink powerpoint slides to other slides. I also learned how to turn off the manual forward and back buttons to my slides and add my own buttons. I liked that I had full creativity on the assignment. I could make my choose your own adventure story be whatever I wanted it to be. What I didn't like was that the assignment was due right after spring break. I know that we have a lot of things that we need to do in a short period of time, but I did not want to work over spring break so I had a lot to do in just a few short days.      I will use data collection and survey tools a lot as a teacher for elementary aged kids with special needs. I will need to know what my students like and don't like about the class. I will also use survey tools and data connection for the parents of the students in my class. I wil...
