 1. I experienced distant learning while in high school. I do like distant learning and online classes when they are asynchronous because then I can complete assignments and watch lectures when I have the capacity to. However, I do not like synchrounous online classes because I find I can't pay attention to lectures online or in person. I think distant learning lectures are just more difficult than in person lectures. As a teacher, having students create things and do things related to the material could greatly improve engagement.  2. Open educational resources are free for users to use, own, share, and sometimes change. This greatly expands student opportunities to learn. One website I found, from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, gives an introduction to OER and its importance in education. This website can be found here: https://guides.library.harvard.edu/OER.  3. The two PowerPoint assignments I did helped me learn a lot of new PowerPoint skills. I learned ho...

As a classroom teacher, I would like to make my classroom ...

1. Many copyrighted work is permitted for teaching and education under fair use. As a teacher, I will have to navigate what work is alright to use and make sure I follow any laws, but I don't forsee that being a huge issue. I hope to make my content and assessments according to what is required for the course, and making my own classroom material in this way should therefore avoid using copyrighted work. Developing my own instructional materials will also prevent students from just googling all the answers, so there are multiple benefits to that.  2. Certainly, with the increased use of technology, academ ic dishonesty is easier than ever. I could use a program like TurnItIn to check students work and make sure it's not plagiarized. I think making sure students know the repercussions to cheating is the best way to avoid it, and I would also want to make sure my students understand how them cheating affects their grades and peers, since it could affect any curve in the class.
