In this class, I hope to become more acclimated with various technologies that can be utilized in the classroom. Many of my friends have told me I should be a teacher, so I wanted to take this class in the case that I choose to be an educator one day. I especially want to learn more about Excel since it is not a platform I am particularly comfortable with. Overall, I am excited to play around with Canva and visualize what it may be like to be a teacher. Perhaps, I will gain more clarity about my future through this class.
In terms of experience with technology, I have always loved Canva. The templates are easy to use and having a Canva Pro account through FSU is an awesome resource to have. Additionally, I am familiar with MS Word and PowerPoint. However, I would not say I am an expert to I am excited to expand my skills on those platforms this semester.
My personal learning network has not changed or expanded much from the transition to college from high school. Getting more involved on campus is a goal of mine for this semester. I hope to add some clubs to my resume because having extracurriculars is certainly something I miss. I am also hoping to gain connections with my professors this semester as I move further into the course material of my major.
Canva is such a useful source so I like how you are committed to using it to your full advantage. Your personal learning network comes with time, I know I didn't have much starting out in freshman year so try not to worry about it too much. I wish you the best of luck finding your people and passions!
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that you are trying to get more involved, I am also aiming for that this semester! Additionally, I love that you touched on wanting to learn about education technology in case you find it's something you want to do in the future. I also am using this class to explore an educational option in addition to my focus in English!
ReplyDeleteI really relate to wanting to explore teaching as a possible future path, especially since this class lets us experiment with tools we'd actually use in a classroom. Canva is such a great platform, and having access to Pro through FSU makes it even better!
