Assignment 5 : PowerPoint Interaction was my first time creating an interactive powerpoint. This was my first time creating a game on powerpoint and it taught me alot. I learned how to make disbale the normal navigation buttons. Next time I will make answer slides instead of addding the transitions on the slide. I like the assignment and this is a tool I will use in my future classroom.

I can use data collection surveys in multiple ways in my classroom. I can use it to ask my students about themselves or how/ what they want to learn so I know what works best for them. I can use data collection surveys when planning an event for my students. Data collection surveys let me know what instersts the audience I am surveying.

In my classmates' blogs I seen that althoough they were online they really enjoyed being able to connect with classmates through group assignments and blog posts. I also enjoyed the way we were able to meet and connect with classmates in a virtual class session. I also learned that the class being asynchronous allowed my classmates to complete the assignments at their own place. I learned about a website called class dojo that allows teachers to reward students for good behavior.

I had not used tech flex or digital badges in this class. I had a lot on my plate this semster and did not want to overwhelm myself. I think digital badges are a great way for students to recieve praise for completing assignements. I think the badges are also a great way fro students to get more practice with technology.

I would like to learn how to use an online gradebook. As technology continues to advance I can see that schools will use alot of technology, so knowing how to use the gradebook online will be beneficial. I also want to learn how to set up a zoom call. I think even outside of a classroom it will be beneficial for me to know how to set one up when wanted to talk to anyone professionally.
