Blog Post #1

     My name is Kaeli and I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am currently attending Florida State University as a junior and pursuing my bachelor's degree in family and child sciences, with a minor in education. It is my goal to have a career as an elementary teacher after I graduate. I come from a big family, with 6 siblings. I have an English Bulldog named Piper and she is my whole world. I have always loved to read and I do so with any spare time I have between school, work, and a social life. 

    I believe that I most likely have as much technological knowledge and experience as the average college student. I have used technology in an educational setting since middle school, with presentations made using Powerpoint, or papers written in Word, but not much else outside of that. I suppose these last few semesters I have used technology in an educational setting more than ever, and can include Zoom in my technological abilities. I do not have any experience with writing or maintaining any kind of blog, but I am looking forward to learning more, as blogs seem like they could be a very useful tool for teachers. 

    My personal learning network is mostly made up of online resources. Google is my best internet friend, as I can honestly say I probably search something up on Google at least five times a day. I have used Google on every project I have ever had to do and it is a great resource in my opinion. I also use FSU's library page when I am in need of scholar type articles or journals. Youtube is another online resource I make good use of, and I have learned how to do many things through Youtube tutorial videos. I go to my mom for a great deal of life information and help, so I would consider her a learning resource as well. My last tool is not exactly one that aids in my learning, but I find so much inspiration and creative outlet through reading. I love fictional books and I believe that expanding on the imagination and creative capacities are an important part of being a learner.

 The teachers websites that I visited all varied, at least a little bit. Some of them had a full on website up, and some of them simply had a link to get into a google meet. A few teachers provide a small bio about themselves, and some provide newsletters for their class. Florida State University Schools elementary teachers all had a link to their Google meet class on their welcome page, an "About the Teacher" tab, a general information tab, a weekly newsletters tab, and a resources tab.  https://www.fsus.school/Page/122 I believe I will likely utilize technology for many tasks as a teacher. As technology becomes more incorporated into schools, the students will likely be using it right along with me. I found an app called Common Curriculum and it is basically a planner for teachers and their lesson plans. They provide templates for teachers to create a lesson plan with and I think it would be very helpful in staying organized.  I was very, very confused at first when try...

      My initial experiences using Diigo have been fairly pleasant. I thought that I would be able to manage figuring out how to work it on my own, but I definitely had to watch the tutorial videos. I like that on Diigo we are able to share a website with a group and even annotate it so that the group can also view it, I think that will be a useful tool as a teacher. One thing that I don't love about Diigo is that when you are on the group page, it is a bit chaotic and can be confusing to see what is what.     I have really enjoyed blogging so far. I think that our blog assignments are a great way to incorporate what we are learning in class to our own understanding. I like blogging because I enjoy being able to complete my assignment while also being able to use comfortable language, and not have to be so formal. It is also fun to think that it is kind of like a little discussion with our professor every week. I have nothing bad to say about blogging, I enjoy i...

 The Web Design assignment was actually a pretty fun assignment to complete. The Weebly website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. It was fun getting to design all of the pages in any way I wanted to. I do not have any complaints about the assignment, I thought it was a fun and easy project, all of the design elements are right there with a click of a button. I will actually very likely use this site during my future career as a teacher, if it us authorized. I think it is a great way to have a place with information that can be easily accessed by parents and students, and allow an extra form of communication. http://kaelilegg.weebly.com/ I think that Diigo is a great site for both students like myself and for teachers. It is a little complicated to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it can be really useful. It is a great tool for both team and individual work as you can share links to websites, annotations, leave notes, and it can all be published for everyone ...
