Blog Post #9

    I primarily experienced distance learning during my last two years of high school. This was during the time COVID hit and all classes had to move to online. I remember using google classroom a lot, as a way to stay organized and in contact with teachers/assignments. Zoom was another tool we used a lot. I would say both tools were effective at keeping us in contact and facilitating communication.
    Open educational resources are teaching and learning materials that are available to everyone. They are freely accessible, openly licensed, and can be used, modified, or shared by anyone. This could be resources like textbooks, videos, or lesson plans. A resource I found was a video demonstrating different activities you can create using liquids. This is targeted to lower primary science school teachers and helps give them ideas of difieren activities they can incorporate into their lesson plan.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQx5Be9g16U
    I acquired several new skills from working on Assignment 4. I have never done anything like this before. I have always used PowerPoint to create presentations but never attempted to create an interactive one like this. I think this process really enhanced my virtual design skills, technical skills, and sparked my creativity. While this assignment is not something I have much experience with, I enjoyed the challenge.
