      Distance learning is something that I quite enjoy. Some of my favorite distance learning can be heard through the radio. For example, when I cannot connect the bluetooth to my car I listen to the radio and set it on a trivia channel, and I never know the answers, but I like learning new information that I can apply to later conversations in my life. A very difficult distance learning aspect of my life hit during Covid-19. It was very hard for me to watch a zoom of my teacher and fully grasp what they were teaching.

 Teacher websites are a tool that I didn't know were such a great tool until I got to high school. Teacher websites are a great way to get to know who is teaching your class before ever entering the room - to an extent. While researching this subject, I came across a teachers website and it had so many amazing things to view.

This website was a wonderful introduction not only to the teacher but to the class as well. (Website linked below). https://www.gcsnc.com/domain/4268 In today's day and age, technology is everywhere. I plan to use technology in my classroom in a way that makes it easier for my students to learn and get their work accomplsihed. Some of the tools I would like to establish in my classroom is Google Drive. With Google Drive, students will be able to use google docs and google slides and keep it all...
