 My experience with distance learning came at a time in my life similar to many which was in 2020 at the start of the corona virus pandemic. It was half way through my senior year of high school and lasted until my sophomore year of college. While I had to participate in distance learning under unfortunate circumstances, it did have its perks. It allowed me to have a little more control over my education schedule and I had access to all classroom resources at home. 

Open educational resources at resources that anyone can use at anytime and are typically distributed online. Brain pop is an example of an open educational resource. It provides educational videos on a variety of subjects for a multitude of grade levels. Its free and you do not need an account to have access to the site. Brain Pop

I would like to continue recapping and applying my knowledge after this blog has served its academic purpose.  A Web 2.0 resource that I take advantage of frequently outside of those we have discussed in class would be Google Docs and other Google applications. I use Google Docs as a staging area of sorts for most of my discussion board posts fo...

 I chose to cover the K-2 benchmarks. One that stood out to me was the first standard which was communication and collaboration and modeling and simulations. Essentially, for the communication and collaboration standard the student needs to be able to differentiate  between multiple digital tools that can be used for communication or collaboration,  perform searches of basic keywords and communicate information with others, collaborate with others to solve problems using technology, and give and receive constructive criticism on a collaborated project. For the modeling and simulations standard the student needs to be able to define simulation and understand the concepts presented by a simple simulation, explain how models and simulations are used solve real issues regarding science and engineering, explain how models can represent real systems, and use models to come up with solutions to questions alone and with others. Based on my current skill set, I believe that I coul...
