EME 2040 Blog!

 Hi everyone!! Welcome back to my blog!!      This week's new concept was data collection through surveys! I think this is a super important part of teacher, as you constantly need feedback to know how to improve yourself to become the best version you can possibly be. Surveys in the classroom can be used to gain feedback from your students, or to even have class polls and votes on what the majority would like to do (for example: no homework Fridays!! Or which day should we have the test?) I will definitely be using surveys in my future classroom with my elementary school kids. I think I would like to teach second grade, so in this instance I would use surveys to have votes on what fun activities we can do on Fridays and what review games we can play to study for tests! I would definitely try my best to make it as fun as possible so everyone feels inclined to vote!     I have looked around a lot at other people's blogs and I absolutely love what everyo...

 Hi everyone!! Welcome back to this week's blog wrapping up what we went over in our eleventh week of class!     First and foremost: my experience as a distance learner has been interesting. In all honesty, I generally don't like distant learning, but it does have it's pros and cons, like anything else. With having all online classes, I do like not having to wake up two hours early just to get ready, eat breakfast, and make sure I walk to class in time. This past year, all I've had to do is just wake up 30 minutes to an hour before my first class and I'm good to go for the day. However, learning through my laptop has proved to be a challenge, but with each passing semester, it's seemingly slowly getting easier.  It's incredibly difficult to build relationships and connections with professors and peers, especially since I don't even know what half of my classmates' faces look like. If a pandemic to this degree were to happen again while I am a teac...

 Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Last week, we had an assignment creating a website, which I really enjoyed and had fun with! I have never created a website before so this was a really big learning experience for me. Since I love doing anything fun and artsy, this project was pretty simple for me to get used to once I learned where all the right buttons were. The only thing I disliked about using the website Weebly was that I couldn't figure out how to make a website from scratch so I had to use a template website, which they had a very limited choice range of. Otherwise, I really liked the interface and system that Weebly has, as I think it makes it very easy to make websites as a first time learner. I made my website based on a fourth grade class and I think the way I organized everything turned out really well! I think for sure in my teaching career, I will absolutely be using a website as a way to adapt to a very digital education experience, as it would be such a great w...
