I haven't finished assignment 5 yet, but I've already learned a lot about the different things that PowerPoint can do. One thing that I think is really cool is the option to disable linear navigation. It was hard to figure out, but once I got it disabled, the PowerPoint started working exactly how I envisioned it. I also think having the different buttons leading to different slides is just such a cool way to use PowerPoint, because I've only ever used it in slide form for a presentation. I have really enjoyed this assignment, but I think it would have been helpful to have step-by-step instructions on how to disable linear navigation, because I couldn't find it anywhere online and nothing would come up in my search on PowerPoint because it's not under the term "linear navigation." Other than this, I think it's a very fun assignment. To the left is a screenshot of the home page of my assignment. I also think the Qualtrics Survey is a very cool and usefu...

I have had many experiences with distance learning because I was an online student from seventh grade to ninth grade. This was during the COVID-19 shutdown, and teachers were new to a lot of the distance learning technologies. In my K-8, they started with BigBlueButton. It was confusing for everyone, including the students, and it made it very difficult to interact with learning. In eighth grade, they switched to Zoom, and that made things a little easier because people had more experience with it. However, many of my teachers couldn't figure out how to balance virtual students with in-person students, and I oftentimes would be forgotten or left out of class activities. I've used Canvas for my dual enrollment class since tenth grade, so my distance learning didn't end even when I started high school in-person. I feel like I've used many technologies over the years, and there aren't any that I would like to experience simply because I don't know of anything new t...

I enjoyed working on the Web Design project. I've only ever used Wix to create a website, so this was a nice change in what tools I use. I learned how to best utilize text over images for looks and for easy reading, and I really like how my website turned out. I also think my colors flow very nicely. The only thing I wish I could've done better was hyperlink the websites to the names of the websites, but it just wasn't working through Weebly. I checked tutorials and I was doing exactly what it showed, but it didn't want to link to the text. While I do think it's nice to know the basics of how to use Weebly, I see myself more likely to use Wix in the future. The QR code to my website is on the right. I do also think QR codes can be very helpful in a classroom. Much like the one above, they can give easy access to important information for students. Stuff like websites, Google Forms, PDFs, etc. can all be turned into QR codes. Students can take a picture of it for lat...
