I can say with certainty that I have been in far worse courses than EME2040, though I can't say I'll be an educator in the future. I like that we used several resources that even I wasn't aware of, and were allowed to be creative with some. On the other hand, I'm not the biggest social media person, so the Twitter assignments weren't all that engaging or enjoyable for me personally. I can't really think of what would improve the classroom experience, other than combining technology with in-person meeting.
OER stands for Open Educational Resources. Put simply, they are teaching, learning, and research materials that are intentionally created to be free on the user's end to allow accessibility regardless of their income. Rather than just one OER, how about a site that has several of them like OER Commons. This is a public digital library of open educational resources all neatly organized by subject, grade level, etc.https://www.oercommons.org/
I have used PowerPoint many times before, but I still managed to learn a few new things. Most notably, how to record me during the presentation, although I kinda wish that PowerPoint made clear that each individual slide had a short windup time before it would actually record. The only thing I didn't really like about this assignment, is the fact that no one else gets to see the presentations that we create. Perhaps we could've saved a day in class for that to happen, but it's not a huge deal overall.
