     After a google search I found a particular elementary school that had lots of teachers with their own page. On my specific example, I used Ms. Brewer, who is a P.E. coach for Timberlin Creek Elementary school. On her page, she had a small paragraph about her teaching philosophy and what she hopes to accomplish with the children while they are with her. She also talks about field day and how the process of choosing a theme for field day is very inclusive.

    My main use of technology professionally will be via communication. In today's modern age, the most effective way to communicate information is through the use of technology. I will use platforms like kahoot! to communicate information to my students in ways that are fun and easy to understand. I think one of the most important aspects of teaching is keeping your students engaged and technology is one of the best ways to do so.

    This was my first time using PB Works and I had no trouble understanding how to navigate the system. Unfortunately the technical difficulties we had during our time makes it harder to like the site, but I can see how it has been an effective way to present information. I think wiki could be used to give students a more focused and manageable platform for learning, and working together. The team function of wiki is a very realistic simulation of what real world jobs are like.

    My experience in EME2040 has been unlike most of my courses at FSU. I am in the asynchronous section, and what I have found most interesting about this course is how it is formatted. Most of my asynchronous courses in college are typically formatted in the same way; there are small assignments due every week, and then 3 unit tests periodically throughout the semester, followed by a final exam. I have grown very comfortable with test taking and have relied on it to get good grades. Because this class is strictly assignments, and the assignments tend to be a little lengthy, I get behind on work, and since there aren't tests, I have no way to really bring my grade up. The instructor has been super helpful and I can tell that she genuinely cares about this class. I just need to have better time management skills in order to be successful in a class with this format.       Open educational resources (OER) are learning and teaching resources that are availabl...

       My name is Jackson Greene. I am a fifth-year student at FSU. I have played baseball here for the last 3 years and will be competing in my final season this upcoming spring. I enjoy film and gaming as well as the outdoors. I spend most of my free time either gaming or watching movies.     The only real experience I have using technology in an educational setting is through FSU. When covid closed down universities and schools in 2020, resorting to online learning was the only option. I have taken strictly online courses since covid and have become pretty familiar with how they operate. I am also currently taking a computer programming class and it has been interesting to learn about technology on a deeper level.     My personal learning network consists of snapchat, tik tok, and GroupMe. I don't have any other social media other than these three apps, and I get all of my information from them. I follow several differe...
