When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit the U.S., I, as well as many other students, were mandated to stay home and adapt to emergent remote learning. This hit me hard because I excelled when I was in person, and thought I would not be able to do the same at home. However, I learned to adapt to this new situation and I did my best to not fall behind on my academics. I liked being able to stay in the comfort of my home while I experienced distance learning. However, it also felt like I was locked up inside my house at times. Looking back, I'm glad I had this experience because it showed me to persevere through this unprecedented event and I am thankful that no one in my family was fatally affected by it. As a teacher, something I will do for distance learners is to check in with their academics, mental health, and whatever else they may need.
I see OER as a resource which a student can use to gain knowledge about a topic/subject. It is free and any educator can add information so more people can learn. However, I think the information might not always be accurate because anyone can edit it and they might add something that is false. An OER source I found is cK12, this resource is composed of subjects such as science, math, social studies, photography, and much more. I find it informational because it is like a tutoring center for Kinder to 12th grade. https://www.ck12.org/student/
Two new skills I acquired was learning how to record my voice to go along with lessons and how to link text/action buttons to slides. In my Assignment 4, it was new hearing my voice go along with the recordings. In my Assignment 5, it was so much fun creating a jeopardy game, especially because it was based on something I really love. Overall, I had a lot of fun working on both projects and I learned a lot of new skills that I will implement in projects later on in my academic and future career.
