 I have learned alot in EME2040. My class was asynchronous. The course has taught me how to use educational tools on a computer such as twitter and diigo. This course has introduced me to tools that I have not used in other classrooms but well use in my own. The class is rigorous as it introduces you to tools that one may not know exactly how to use yet the grading process expects you to be a master of the tools.

Open educational resourcs are websites and materials that are available to the public for educational uses. These materials can include all of the follwoing forms: lectures, notes, and sylubi. The article I chose opens stating how it is good to save money by providing students with free or low cost textbooks. The writer does not feel that this should be the determining factor on what types of textbooks we use to teach. We should determine which books are used based on the content and quality of the books. The writer stated that they have seen cases where schools get that they pay for in terms of the quality of textbooks.

Assignment 4 has taught me essential skills for teaching a lesson. It showed me how to put enough information on a slide while teaching. It showed me how to use animations in a way to present slide info in a certain order. I struggled with knowing the appointment amount of information on a slide.

    Hey Jamauri,
    I have also learned the same things as you such as how to operate diigo and twitter. I like the article you picked and how it discusses how free or low cost textbooks would help students save money. I would love if FSU would provide free textbooks. Great post!

 I have never used Diigo before I used it in this course. It has taught me so many thing I didn't even know I could do on websites. It taught me how to bookmark articcles and add sticky notes. Those are two of the features of Diigo I can see myself using in the future as I can see it being extremely beneficial in taking notes or doing research. Blogging has become a big part of my life, with so many different social media platforms there's always a way to blog or vlog(video blog) your experiences. Blogging is a great way to capture memories as well as emotions at the time. Blogging is also a great way to engage with family and friends when sharing just thoughts and feelings. Like in this course, seeing someone blog about a similar experience allows you to connect with them. A Web 2.0 tool that I would use is Schoology. I used this in highschool and it was a great way to ask questions when we weren't ion class like about homework. The questions also don't come directly t...

 I have been using microsoft word since middle school. I had a tehnology class in both middle and high school where we learned each tool and how to use them properly. This is one of my favorties to write on, I also realy like Google docs because of the autosave feature. Microsoft word is easy to ujse and it's useful having the wod count shown at the bottom at all times. The most meaningful standard to me is the one where "e ducators seek out opportunities for leadership to support student empowerment and success and to improve teaching and learning." I think this is the most important because students need someone in which they may look up to or just be able to learn from. I think a teacher showing leadership empowers students to also want to be leaders. Advocating for the best needs for all students is something I comepletely agree with becuase all students should have equal oppurtunities and accomadations when needed. A digital native is someone that was introduced to t...

 My name is Jamauri Denson. I am from Jacksonville, Fl and graduated from Saint Augustine High School. I am now attending Florida State University where I am studying education and economics. My career of choice is teaching as through person experience I know how impactful a strong influential teacher can be to a student’s confidence and success. My end goal for education is to become a principal so Incan inspire as many young minds as possible. In high school, I took an AP Statistics course. In that class we had a smart board where we would often have to write answers. This was a tool I had not used before and it was helpful in learning material through it’s various features. One of the most helpful features was the layer tool that allowed the teacher to write her notes on different students’ answers so we were able to know whether or not we were on the right track and how to keep going though steps of problem solving. One resource I have found endlessly helpful in supporting my l...
