 Hello!

First, I was having trouble finding a website for a teacher so I decided to just do an elementary school. More specifically, my Elementary school! Wekiva Elementary School has a very informational and easy-to-navigate website. They have numerous tabs with the most important information in them such as about us, get involved, curriculum, students, and resources. It was very easy to click on any of these tabs and be taken to the information that I needed. Overall I thought this was a good and interesting website!

I envision myself using lots of technology as a teacher in order to be successful. I want to create my own classroom website when I am a teacher so parents have a place to go to find everything that they need. I believe that this is important because this will give parents the ability to easily assist in their students education. I also feel like I will utilize resources like class dojo to have classroom management. I am sure that by the time I become a teacher there will be endless more technological advances for me to use!


I personally wasn't the biggest fan of canvas groups. The group chat between myself and my group members would only show up in the canvas app on my phone, not also on my laptop. I found this a bit inconvenient, and I believe my other group members had this issue. Due to this, my group members and I all created an iMessage group chat in order to communicate a bit easier. Other than that small issue, I did not have any issues with canvas groups!

 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
