Blog #1

    Hey everyone! I'm Rachel and I am a senior this year graduating in May. I have a major in Human Development and Family Science with a double minor in Education and Psychology. I'm from Clearwater, FL and love to hang out with friends, grab a coffee, and read. I am currently working at a preschool and kindergarten with plans on becoming an elementary school teacher post-graduation. 

    Most of my prior knowledge regarding the use of technology in an educational setting comes from all the years in my own educational career. My earliest memory of this would probably be in elementary school when I had to take Reading Counts quizzes on the classroom computer. Over the years, like most others, I have used desktops and laptops to create things such as PowerPoints, study guides, and essays. At my job, I use online spin-wheels to *fairly* pick a students name for tasks and find educational videos and songs to show on YouTube. 

    I have several personal learning networks and learning resources that I regularly use to support my learning needs and goals. Previous and current teachers and professors are people I frequently talk to for advice and feedback in addition to just chatting about our day and how our we are coming along on our goals. Friends and family keep me encouraged, motivated, and stress-free. FSU libraries, textbooks, canvas, and Quizlet allow me to study, stay organized, and submit my best work. Lastly, my phone lets me have mobile access for checking my emails and canvas calendar on the go while my laptop is used to complete assignments, projects, and papers using Microsoft apps, Canva, and Google Slides.
