About me, my competence with technology, and what I hope to learn!

     I am a native of Tallahassee, Florida. I left for three years to play college football for a D2 business university, and then came back to my home town to finish my undergraduate in History. I plan on joining a masters program for law, and to eventually become an attorney. My uncle owns a law firm down in South Florida, and it has always been my plan to work my way/up in his firm. I am excited to finally be a senior at FSU, and am excited to learn new information in this education class.
      My competence when in comes to technology is, I would say above average, but no where near the level of coding or script running. It has always been more of a personal interest, and my main brushes with technology has always been linked to my desire to game competitively. I do not have a twitter or Instagram, but do use Facebook for school and connection reasons.
     I hope to learn more about perfecting Microsoft applications like: Word, Excel, Graphs, and PowerPoint. I would like to be able, at the end of this course, to adequately understand and utilize all available resources when it comes to the aforementioned applications. I have a fair amount of knowledge with these programs already, but I do have much room for improvement, and could greatly benefit from perfecting these programs in my later graduate career as a student. I am very skeptical of opening a Twitter, for security and social issues, but hopefully this class will teach me the proper way of protecting myself on social media.

    Wow!! You experience is impressive!

    I am sure you will have some fun in this class because we are going to touch on a lot of different topics and explore around. Personally, I am not huge on social media but as an educator, I don't doubt its position in our learning. I am glad that you mentioned the safety issues but I don't believe that there is THE proper way to protect yourself once for all. For me, being aware of the online identify and lines are very big parts of online safety.

I understand the full impact that surveys and data collection systems can have on certain markets, performances, and people. Surveys are actually a huge part of my life. I work at a polling firm in town. I firmly believe that the incorporation of surveys in the education system would benefit the students and the staff. We already kind of do it with forums like rate my teacher, and the surveys after classes.      I found that there was a wide range of thought and ideas on the classes blogs. Many people had differing opinions on some of the topics in the class curriculum. As expected many of the class wrote as if they were going to become teachers, or in the process of. There was some agreement on some topics, and many classmates are well spoken.      I would like to learn more about building websites; a step further than what we were allowed to get into class. I would like to learn it on a platform rather than on a online resource process like Wix. However...

      Diigo and its social bookmarking properties have allowed for the dissemination information and commendation of a vast amount of people on topics that can aid me in my education career. I think it would be a beneficial aid in any type of situation, whether the person was working solo, with a partner, or a group. the information and critiques on the website are of immense value.      To aid in the progression of a persons, a students, edification evolution a master power point could be used on certain subjects: both education and life skills. An instructor could use a broad range of slide to introduce, and immerse a audience. A more refined set for informing and question provoking. Finally a finely honed and articulate set of slides to reinforce the material and allow for the students to form opinions of their own on an informed subject.      It has become the truth when teachers are closer to computer techs than they were thirty years ...
