Blog Post #9

     I was an online section for this semester and it was asynchronous. I find this type of class to be my favorite, because I can decide when in the week I want to worry about the assignments and when to complete them. I did not necessarily dislike anything about the class structure itself, moreso some of the content seemed like things I would not need to know for my future classroom experience. I am hoping when I am a teacher, I won't have to worry about an online classroom, but if it came to it, I would try to offer bi-weekly optional zoom sessions for those who may need it. I would work with students to figure out the best times for them to come to the meetings. 

    Open education resources are essentially any research or teaching materials that are in the open public domain, meaning they can be accessed and used by anyone with a computer. I found an article about a University in Wyoming that is going to launch a journal of different open education resources in order to foster a better sense of higher education. I find it important that more and more universities do this, because there shouldn't be a paywall to fight through in order to read research. This is true especially in a world that is so undereducated. I feel as though a lot of problems would be solved or at least easier to solve, if all research was published for free and was easily accessible by the general population. 

    Unfortunately, I was unable to complete Assignment 4, but as I am currently working on Assignment 5 which is similar to assignment 4, I can say that I have learned, and am currently learning a lot of different skills within Powerpoint. I didn't like the idea of creating your own format slide, along with using animations because I was taught that professional powerpoints should not have animations in them. I did like the creative freedom to choose any topic I wanted to though. Also there is no screenshot I can include unfortunately.

    Hey Jake,
    I also did not turn in the assignment on time but did take a crack at it later on. Life got very busy and I just didn't make the deadline. Once I started it, it was pretty easy. I wrote the prof and explained the situation and she was very helpful and understood that life happens. Maybe try and reach out to her and see where it goes from there. Best of luck to you in the teaching realm. I know that this country is in great need of teachers. I hope to be a teacher by next school year.

      On the website that I scoured, I was able to find every single teachers' personal website that was designed by each of them individually. On the specific site for the William Floyd school district, was a teacher named Ms. Tepper. She teaches earth science and here site clearly reflects this by having an "Intro to Earth Science" youtube video on the home page of her site and has basic information labeled on there for parents' use. She also has an about her page where she details facts about her life so the parents and students can get to know her better.  The link to the website shown above is here .      I plan to use an abundance of technology when it comes to my future teaching career because the parents of the children I will be teaching, will be from a younger generation who is more apt in the realm of technology. One specific tool I will use is Google Drive, due to its nature of being easy to share and easy to give out editing perm...

       My first experience with Twitter was with my personal account and I found it as a good way to keep updated on global news in the world. For this teacher account for this course, I found it as an interesting way to keep in contact with other students in the class and with the teacher. Twitter will help me connect with other teachers in my career, as a way to professionally connect with others. Twitter can also help me with my future career in the way of helping me connect with my students in a fun and effective way, yet still maintaining a sense of professionalism.      Everyone in this world, more or less, rely on some form of technology. Because of this, schools rely on children to have this technology and unfortunately, not every one of those children have that kind of access. This is what is known as the digital divide, and it is widespread across the nation and the globe. The digital divide is usually caused by poverty or in general, lo...

Introduction to Me

       My name is Jake Bucher, and I am a Psychology major at FSU with a minor in Education. I have three dogs, their names are Waffles, Max, and Benny. My interests include Marvel, Star Wars, DC and LEGO. A weird hobby of mine is that I like to birdwatch and go birding. I actually have a wildlife photography account on Instagram called Jakeswildlifephotography.      Personally, I have not participated in many educational settings besides attending school itself. While in college, I have mostly used Canvas, along with Zoom and Flipgrid. However, in high school, when covid first started, I had to use Microsoft Teams, so I have a decent expertise in that department. I am also Microsoft certified in Word, Powerpoint, and Excel, for both the years of 2013 and 2016. I have also created a multitude of websites using Weebly and Wixsite.      The only real learning networks I use are the resources that are given to me by my professors. Although,...
