 Assignment 5: Powerpoint interaction was VERY difficult for me. I learned a lot about using PowerPoint in a way other than the typical slideshow. It took me a long time to figure out how to make everything work, so it required a lot of patience. I am proud of how the final product turned out, but that was in my opinion, the most difficult assignment we have had. It was very educational.

When I become a teacher I plan on teaching high school English. Because of this, I feel like qualitrics or other data collection tools will be helpful since I will be teaching older kids. I can use surveys to learn how my students are doing in the course, and what they like and do not like about the class, and I could even use surveys to see what kinds of books my students would like to read. When I was in high school, I took a whole course surrounding data collection tools. If I end up teaching a class similar to that, then obviously data collection tools would have a huge role in my classroom. Overall, I think I will definitely be using and needing data collection tools. 

One technology-related skill I am very interested in is 3D printing. When we went to the technology sandbox and I got to try it out, I was immediately intrigued. Since then, I have been looking at different ways to create designs to be 3D printed. To learn more about this skill I will continue researching how to use a 3D printer, and I will research how a 3D printer could be used to possible enhance a child's education. I will also advance my skills by visiting the tech sandbox to use the printer we have and ask questions about it.

 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
