  My name is Hannah Perakes. I am a freshman at Florida State University, and I am majoring in Elementary Education. In the future I would like to be an elementary school teacher. For a long time, I wanted to be a psychologist but in the last few years I realized that I wanted to be a teacher.  

 My whole schooling experience I have used technology. In elementary school I remember the teachers using Smart Boards and they had laptop carts that we would occasionally use. In middle school we did most of our tests and work on laptops. In high school I used a lot of different kinds of technology, especially when quarantine started. We went fully online and used programs such as Google Classroom and Zoom.  

   I regularly use multiple resources to support my learning needs and goals. Something I use to memorize things for classes is Quizlet. I use the calendar app on my phone as well as a physical planner to keep track of due dates for assignments. I also like to utilize kahoot for studying right before I have a test.

    Hi Hannah, do you have any other online and offline spaces you often visit and connect with people to get (or share) more learning resources (e.g., information, knowledge, tools)? If so, what are those spaces? Who are those people? And what specific resources do you share with them? The spaces, people, and resources that I just mentioned comprise your personal learning network. What is the purpose of your PLN?

    Hey Hannah! I am also majoring in Elementary Education and I am super interested in psychology. Smart Boards are so fun and I remember using those in elementary school as well. It sounds like we use a lot of the same technology and have similar PLNs!

    Hi Hannah! Welcome to FSU! I didn't write about smartboards, which is weird because from 3rd grade to now they have been intertwined with my education experience. Zoom is a universal experience at this point. I am very happy to find someone else who uses the calendar app, which is a large part of how I: A.) Keep myself organized and B.) Remember birthdays. I have not thought to use Kahoot for studying, so maybe I will use that sometime.

      I have used Microsoft Word in my schooling for as long as I can remember. My freshmen year of  high school I actually received a certification in it, as well as some other Office 365 programs. I like Microsoft Word because it is easy to use and has always worked for me. I have used Google Docs before but I much prefer Microsoft Word. I don't quite have a reason for liking it more other than familiarity since I have been using it for so long.      The ISTE standard that is most meaningful to me is " Model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate ideas, knowledge or connections.". This standard to me means to allow for and encourage creativity in students in all aspects of their learning. I see this standard as important because  I  feel that in K-12 learning it is important for the student to be allowed creativity because even though they are all being taught the same thing they should learn individual...

     I got a Twitter account around 2018 . At the time I mostly used it to keep up with celebrities and friends. I have also found that Twitter is a good place to hear about current events, though they should always be fact checked with a more reliable source.  Twitter might be helpful in my future career because  it  would allow me to connect with and share ideas  with other teachers. This would be good to keep my teaching fresh and fun.         I believe that the digital divide can  affect  a student's success in school. Those who  do not have access to the technology and internet as other students do can be put at a  disadvantage .  Some causes of the digital divide may include economic status,  geographic location, or lack of motivation to learn how to use technology. I might use programs like Kahoot in my classroom  and the digital divide might affect how often I use online programs becau...
