For our last assignment, we used Qualtrics to create surveys. I found this tool super interesting because it is an easy way to collect data and the opinions of your students or other populations. As a psychology major, I am very familiar with surveys because they are one of the main ways in which we collect data for research. As a teacher teaching psychology to a senior class, I would use surveys to gain a sense of my student's preferences and personalities. This might help me create more personalized lesson plans.

There were several aspects of my classmate's blog post that I enjoyed. The aspect I enjoyed the most was to get to know their personal opinions and interests. I feel like it helped me get different perspectives on the same material I was learning and this made my perspective broader. It was interesting to see how the diversity of majors and backgrounds shaped every student's experience of the material in this class.

In my opinion, nowadays is very valuable to learn any kind of coding language. The world is becoming increasingly computerized, I think that having the knowledge to do computer coding will be highly valuable in the years to come. I would like to learn some of it and I am planning to do a basic course on it online.

    Hi Maria Sofia! I like your ideas about using a program like Qualtrics to get feedback and more information from you students to be able to help them succeed. I think coding is something more people should know how to do. My dad works in a computer software company and he's taught me about coding and I find it helpful and fun to use.

    I really like how you want to get student feedback through surveys because it really is a great way to make the personalized lesson plans. Coding would also be really cool to learn how to do.

    Maria Sofia, I love that you brought up coding. I have seen first hand how much goes into coding and how crucial effective coding is to any software. I, too, would really want to learn the basics of coding.

Before this class, I had never used Twitter before. Not, it is the social media I enjoy the most. I like the intellectual and discussion aspect of it. I feel like other social media can be superficial while Twitter enables important discussions about interesting topics between users. My experience so far has been positive. I have interacted with my peers, shared my feelings and thoughts, and read really useful information by other accounts I follow. Now, my experience creating my own website surprised me. It was far more difficult than I thought. However, I am someone who is not very tech savvy. This assignment manages to give me some headaches, but finally, I did my best. I learned that you can use free resources as Weebly to create a webpage that represents you. I think that nowadays this is very important because it can be like your presentation card online. Students with special needs need different kinds of learning. This is why assistive and adaptive technologie...

I loved FlipGrid, it is definitely my favorite resource we have reviewed in this class. Go check out my video on this class Grid! Open Educational Resources are teaching resources that are available to all public who need them on the internet. They range from resources and guides to make lesson plans, to websites where teachers can share their original curriculums. One example of an EOR is the website called Connexions. In this website, you can find educational resources such as books or even classes in the form of modules. Whoever that wants to learn an educational resource but does not want to consume it the conventional format can access Connexions and consume it in a module format. In my opinion, the module format is much more educational than others. If you want to check it out, click the link below: https://cnx.org/ For the last two assignments, I learned how we can use PowerPoint to create an educational presentation. I learned how to research information, format it p...
