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:

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 properly in PowerPoint, and the most important thing to link the resources to the presentation. I also learned how to create action buttons so the person who is consuming the PowerPoint will always have a way to get to "Home" or to go to the last or next slide. What I did not like about this assignment was that PowerPoint does not have a setting to apply those action buttons to all the slides, which made my work much more difficult.
You can see an image of the first slide of my presentation below.

    Hello! I also loved using FlipGrid, it was so interactive! Your powerpoint design looks great. I know it may be a little late for this comment, but for the action buttons- you can simply copy and paste to each slide and it will be placed into the same position.

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...

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...
