In my experience with distance learning, I have enjoyed it in certain circumstances. During COVID, distance learning was very present, as we all had to quarantine at first. Now that COVID is over, I now enjoy distant learning still in college. I think for some writing classes it's easier to understand virtually. I have experienced a lot of technologies through this such as zoom, remind, canvas and more. I can't think of any I didn't experience, as if I didn't experience them I haven't heard or been exposed to them.
I enjoyed browsing through the OER resources. I specifically searched for resources for special education teachers. I specifically picked a resource that talked about the history of special education and some of the laws and processes behind it. Since special education has been around so long, there has been a lot of procedures and policies that have changed to get special education to where it is today. This includes laws like No Child Left Behind, IDEA and plans like IEP's. I picked a website by CITE journal that explores the science resources on OER. It talks about how free science resources have been of been a focus of research.

While working on Assignment 4: Powerpoint for Information Dissemination, I learned a lot of new ways to use powerpoint. The main one being the the voiceover recording feature. I will continue to use this feature in my future teaching career, as online learning is a huge part of our future. Any lessons can be recorded via digitally, which is why this feature was so important to use and learn. I liked being able to add transitions and animations. I have never played with all those powerpoint features until this assignment.
