 When I was doing distance l earning during COVID-19, I actually felt like I was much more organized and on top of my work. I think this was the case because I had a lot more free time and was spending my time doing assignments rather than spending a lot of time in my electives, or lunch, or even driving to and from school. The one thing I had a really hard time with while doing distance learning was my more rigorous classes like my AP Psychology class and my Orchestra class. Trying to prep for a AP exam through zoom made it difficult for me to focus and I got distracted easily while at home. I couldn’t imagine how much more difficult it would be teaching through distance learning, because it is so hard to connect with your students this way, however, I would probably try to come up with engaging assignments that were interactive and helped get my point across in the lesson.  Open educational resources are resources that are open for use to anyone.

I think that it was very easy to find this teacher page, all the you have to do is log onto the school’s website, click our school and click faculty and staff. If you go to the search bar and type in teachers, different sites from Leon county school come up. These include different school sites, faculty and staff pages for other schools and teacher portals. I found it even easier to scope the page out for faculty and staff rather than type it in the search bar.  https://www.leonschools.net/Page/52909   I think I will easily be able to use technology to accomplish my professional responsibilities once I teach. Our generation has been taught how to use different resources and platforms since 3rd grade or even younger, therefore we are able to easily pic...
