The distance learning experience has been consistently challenging. Many physical classroom conventions do not translate over to this form very well, such as presentations, speeches, group work. The only part that I like more about distance learning is having more freedom of schedule and more independence, but the lack of human connection makes it tough to stay motivated, so it's kind of a double-edged sword. If I ever deal with distance learning as a teacher I would try my best to understand the frustration of the students and just make the best out of the situation, because who can really prepare for something as unprecedented as a pandemic.
So Open Educational Resources are any materials, open to the public domain, which have to do with teaching, learning and research. They are malleable in that anyone can edit, revise, remix, have and give out to anyone. Basically just resources for anyone to help out anyone in the realm of teaching. Will be super helpful for the future career. Here is what seems to be one of the larger websites for OER's:
I enjoyed these assignments. The first one was more a review of what I already knew about powerpoint and the second one expanded my knowledge. I think both were super important to cement my understanding of powerpoint, which will be a crucial tool in teaching. Next time I will better mind map the non-linear powerpoint beforehand so that I will know where to send things from the start.
