"A  New Beginning " by  namestartswithj89  is licensed under  CC BY 2.0 . 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.

For as long as I can remember, I have always used MS Word in both my secondary and post-secondary education. I feel as though many of my classmates prefer Google Docs, but I prefer MS Word. Perhaps this is due in part to the fact that I was never familiarized with Google Docs. Both applications work similarly, so when I am asked to use Google Docs, it's not a difficult transition. However, I suppose I like to stick to MS Word unless otherwise asked.  The ITSE Standard that stood out to me the most was Analyst. This is because I think using data to inform decision to inform decisions and adjust approaches is an important skill. I think applying analytics shows elements of growth and flexibility that are important to teaching. I also believe that data has the opportunity to pull in some of the other ITSE standards through collaborative feedback and design improvement. In turn, allowing a teacher to begin a better citizen and leader of their classroom.  In terms of the label "dig...
