Today, let's chat about Open Educational Resources and my recent exposure to PowerPoint.
After reviewing the text provided in the course on Open Educational Resources (OER), I now have an understanding on what it is and how we, as prospective teachers, may apply it to our own classrooms. OER are resources for individuals, primarily teaches, which may be found to be "open" across all digital outlets. The key to this is the "open" access granted to everyone. There are 5 listed criteria: Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, and Redistribute. These are the rights granted to the individual if using an OER. OERs are available for use through Wikipedia Commons and similar resources. After doing some digging, I found a video of a Mytilus Edulis (Blue Mussel). The video is available for download and is provided with the Creative Commons Copyright information at the bottom of the scroll page. Click here for a link to the video! Very riveting!
After completing my two most recent PowerPoint assignments, I can now reflect back on it! I enjoyed creating the two projects for my future classroom. I like how creative I could be with the design elements. I did not know how to disable the linear navigations, so that is something unique I was able to use! I have previously learned about action buttons and transitions so it was a great reminder of this tool. Check out the screenshots below to see my design. For the first assignment, I created a presentation on the country of Jamaica and for the second project I created a quiz to review for a history test.

I really enjoyed learning about nonlinear PowerPoints. I never knew that PowerPoint could be use to create games! It was fun to be able to learn and practice.
