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...
