 Distanced learning was pretty much a free A. Covid started my Senior year of highschool. We didn't really think Covid would last long so we just got easy assignments and were given our diplomas as to not back up the system. When I transferred to college, our college really didn't care and I took all my classes in person. I did take one online class and I didn't pay attention at all and need up just doing other stuff while I had the lecture pulled up.  OER is open educational resources available for teachers.

 Teachers sharing about themselves on a website is not something I have ever encountered. The most I have ever had is a directory with a teacher's school email. It depends on the teacher but most teachers I've encountered don't share too many details about themselves much less post them on the internet. I would most likely think creating a website about yourself would for sure open you to cyberbullying from students.  But overall here is a website I found https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1574  As I don't plan on being a teacher, i don't really have any plans in the sense i am being asked. I do plan on being a pilot and using LinkedIn to keep up with those also in the industry. I also wont be using "teacher productivity tools". If I were too I would use our website tools and twitter. Realisticly I will use foreflight to be a productive pilot.  At first starting the new website was very annoying and I found it hard to use. But after a about a hour I got th...
