Blog Post #10: 


Overtime my PLN has advanced to include more people and tools. I learned more tool that could help me with my progression, and learned how to better use them for my future, such as adobe tools, Microsoft tools and programs such as Weebly. I also deepened my relationship and connections with colleagues in the university.  I become more friendly with them and so could spend more quality time with them. I also learned more and connected more with my professors so that we can work together to work on research or just to advance my knowledge in a particular subject.  I a lot of my spaces and tools still stayed the same but I started using the library and college spaces more often. 

As a historian, I think data collection tools like surveys or digital questionnaires would be useful for gathering information directly from people who experienced certain events or grew up in specific communities. Instead of just relying on books or archives, I could use tools like Qualtrics to collect personal stories, opinions, or memories that help me understand how people lived through certain historical changes. For example, if I were studying the impact of the Cold War on different generations, I could create a survey to see how people remember that time or how it affected their families. These kinds of tools make it easier to organize responses and look for patterns, which can help build a stronger and more human view of the past.

I would like to learn how to work with sound systems, setting them up, working with the mixer and knowing how and when to change the sound. It's an interesting field for me that I would like to learn more about. By being specific and measuring the achievability of my goal I feel like I will feel more accomplished in my learning.  My goal would be to go to lessons and learn how the mixer works and all the different buttons do by the end of the semester December 12.

I hope to learn how to utilize technology in classrooms to help students learn. I want to learn about the different tools that teachers can use and also about the methods that they use to prevent student distractions. I would love to learn how to work these systems more efficiently and how to connect projectors or setup smartboards.  I will apply it in the future for my professor position, and it will help me with my professional as well as personal learning and work related to technology in class.  I grew up in an digital age so I have a lot of experience using computers and smartboards in school.  In middle school we learned how to use the computer and often used it for a lot of classes. It supported education but also made it hard to focus on the class with all the distractions. The use of smartboards helped the teacher with teaching as they didn't have to use chalkboards and made it easier to present information to students. In high school, a lot of homework and class...

My experience with Word has always been divided. On one hand I like the multitude of functions it has compared to other software.  Like they more advanced page setups, AI integration, and just more play and ability to work with your design. On the other hand a lot of its functions are clunky and its not super friendly. All through my high school years I was mainly using Google Docs due to its simplicity and accessibility. I didn't need to buy a subscription or go through an app and multiple steps to write my paper. Google docs was just far more convenient. My worst experience with Word would be when I was working on a business project and any one small change to a page made everything change too, it might have been due to inexperience but that experience has been stuck with me.  Also whenever I tried to pdf the file everything would move around too much. That's why I stuck with Docs for majority of my high school years. At FSU after getting more accustomed and used to Microsof...

  My experience with blogging so far has been mixed. I think I like to write blogs and I would like to develop this skill further. At the moment I like the ability to express my voice in writing, as well as develop my writing skills. These skills could help me in my career as well as school life. I don’t like blogging because of the mental blocks you can have, especially with writing something creative or not factual that you can go off.  As of right now it's not that bad, because I have a prompt to write about.  I have learned a lot from blogging but most importantly I have learned to express and format my thoughts on paper. It helped me learn how to do that best and what programs I can have in writing. I also learned how to manage my work and write every week which you would generally do with a blog or any content uploading.  My experience and thoughts on AI in classrooms is divisive. On one hand it allows a lot of methods and tools for creative or organizational l...
