 I have had lots of experience using MS Word throughout my K-12 and college education. I was taught how to use Word in middle school so I have used it very much since then. My freshman year of high school I actually got certified in Powerpoint, Docs, and Excel. Although I am very familiar with Word, I like to use Google Docs instead just because I think it is a bit more user friendly. 

I honestly found all of the ISTE Standards for Educators very interesting. I personally find the "learner" standard the most valuable. This is because I feel like being willing to continue to learn and grow throughout your career is very important. I feel like I don't have any questions about the different standards because they all make sense and have a significant purpose. 

I completely agree with the term "digital native" for my generation. It really is true, I grew up around technology and find myself very familiar and comfortable with using it. When it comes to my grandma, for example, I have had to help her on numerous occasions with using her phone or laptop just because it's something she has not spent a lot of time using. I feel like this pattern will just continue in the future because technology will just continue to evolve.

 Hi! My name is Kylie Johnson and I am from Orlando, Fl.  I have two amazing parents and three older siblings, and a fun fact is that each of our names begin with a "K." I am currently a freshman here at Florida   State and I am majoring in English education. I have a passion for reading and writing and I always have, my mom is a writer too so I like to think I inherited my love for it from her! Some of my interests consist of watching movies, spending time outside, and hanging out with friends. My prior experience in using technology in an education setting has only been as a student. Since I was a Freshman in high school when Covid hit, I had to get very used to using platforms such as zoom. I also had to become comfortable with doing the majority of my schoolwork online using platforms like Canvas, Microsoft, Google Drive, etc. My Junior and Senior year of high school I took AP Capstone which helped me become comfortable with creating and presenting slides, as well as expl

 To be honest, I have not enjoyed using Diigo. It may be a user error, but I found it difficult to use. I kept getting confused about what I was doing, and even while creating my account I was having issues with the website. I also do not like the way it looks, it feels dated, and it is in desperate need of a facelift. I hope that with time I come to enjoy using this platform more but so far it is my least favorite platform I have tried for this class.  Creating my blog for this class has been my first experience with blogging. I do not dislike blogging, but I think I struggle with being genuine in my postings. I feel like in some of my posts I am very robotic because I am trying to sound intelligent, and I am trying to come away from that and just be genuine. So far I have learned that blogging is different for everyone, each of my classmates have something different and unique about their blogs. I find that interesting and I hope that as I blog more I become more comfortable in creat

 So far, I have really enjoyed being in EME2040! My favorite parts about the class are when we have classroom collaboration and discussions. I like hearing everyones different opinions and thoughts on everything we learn in class. I think the biggest thing that I struggle with is making sure to follow all of the instructions on assignments. I think sometimes I miss a few things and that brings my grade down but overall I really like being in this class! One resource I found interesting when I searched for open educational resources was a website called the OER Commons . It is a website that provides a search engine for OER resources. It lets you select what grade level, subject, and type of content you are looking for. I thought this was a good resource because it gives lots of room to find many different resources.  Assignment four was one of the most educational assignments I have done, in my opinion. It was tricky planning out how I wanted to present information for a group of eleme
