     Distance learning has been difficult for me because I learn better in a traditional classroom with more personal connection. Over the course of online learning I have procrastinated more than usual and have not been able to retain as much information. I like the aspect of having more control over my schedule and being able to work. Everyone learns differently, but when I am a teacher I will try to cater to each student. Making the majority of the lesson interactive where every student can be involved is something I will try to implement.

An article I found lists 16 open educational resources that can be useful for finding free or extremely discounted textbooks. There are also other resources that teach about open educational resources, how to use them, and even how to create your own. OER Article

I especially enjoyed the interactive assignment because it is something I will use in my teaching career.

One of the most beneficial things I learned was how to format power points and a way that is easy to read and looks good. Next time I will try to personalize my power points and not use the formats given so it seems more personable.

I might try to use a different platform to create websites in the future that are a little easier to use.  Riley's Website I think the Diigo extension is a very useful tool for research purposes. I think being able to organize and bookmark information makes it easy to go back and look at information you might need in the future. Annotating is another aspect I felt was useful because it helps me retain information and I could use this in my future as a teacher.
