0 A bit about me

Before coming to Florida State University I was a frequent tech user.  I used technologies ranging from Facetime to playing online games.  I also participated in social networking.  I mainly use Instagram and Twitter to share my thoughts and photos.  Also, in my English class over summer, I had to make a website for my final project.  We had to completely format the website which was very different from what I've done before.


In EME2040, I hope to learn effective ways to successfully incorporate technology into the classroom.  When I went through elementary school, I didn't use much technology.  Therefore, I am somewhat unfamiliar of how children use technology.  I think technology is an essential part of the classroom nowadays, so I am really looking forward to learning about all the different ways I can use it with my students when I'm a teacher.


Today I learned that I am not very familiar with blog writing.  In the past, I have always written in a more formal style for essays and newspaper stories.  I am excited to see how this class will force me out of my comfort zone with writing and teach me how to write in different styles.  I also learned that I am not used to writing shorter paragraphs.  It seems to be more effective in blogs to write short paragraphs, so I will need to get used to writing in brief sentences and short sections.
