   Over the last two weeks of learning about technology, I have learned more in this class than I have in many other technology classes. Not that I’ve taken a bunch, but I like how I can leave this class and I have learned a lot of different resources and tools and fun assignments. This class allowed me to learn tools and take them into my future classroom. It was a lot of work and at times it was a lot of hard work that took a while to complete, but I think it was worth it at the end of the day because I am leaving with a lot of knowledge.  A wrap-up of the whole class is easier said than done. I feel like this was a really important class for me to take because I am a very hands-on learner, and although this class is asynchronous, I was able to have hands-on learning. Which is something that I missed since the pandemic and since leaving traditional school. So I enjoyed all the assignments. I enjoyed learning that I can make a blog for myself, and it’s not too hard to cr...

 I was the most excited when it came to doing this project in specific because this is the type of material that I will actually be using in the classroom. Whether or not it is actually presenting videos to my students. It is definitely teaching them the important materials that they’ll need. Having the accessibility recording on your screen can do a lot for students who may be on leave for whatever reason or just have these extra YouTube videos for when they go home and may not understand what was taught in class. I think being able to record your lessons is more than a virtual classroom. It’s also source in tools for students to have after they’ve left school. From personal experience, I know that sometimes I couldn’t always understand what my teacher was saying while I was in class in a classroom setting. Some students work better in a different environment, such as their own house and a desk over there, or maybe watching YouTube videos, and having the advantage of pausing and ...

  Welcome back to my post. I really appreciate you guys being here.  This week we had to create a trip using Google Maps, which I didn’t even realize you could do. But I actually learned a lot and I feel like this is something that I might actually use in the future seeing as how it was pretty easy and it was rather organized. My trip was a trip to Seattle, Washington. Taking about four days to get there from the University of La Verne with stops along the way and tourist attractions that we can visit. I said that it is a trip that we can all take together so we can take our time, but also get to our destination. I really like road trips because if they aren’t too structured, but if you have enough places to go, it could be really fun because you are letting the wind blow you in whatever direction it leads you. So on my trip, I left a lot of room for originality for other people's input, but also an opportunity to have room to do other things. Because in my opinion, that’s wha...
