 Hello, my name is Caroline. I am an International Affairs major here at FSU. I am from Florida and have lived in Florida my whole life. I am currently on the pre-law route, but I am not certain on my career yet. 

I have very little experience using technology in an educational setting. I have written blogs and presentations for high school classes, but nothing since college. I am excited to learn more through this course. I am also excited to further my computer knowledge.

My PLN's online tend to be youtube, pinterest, and twitter. In the more formal sense, I rely heavily on literature and books to further my knowledge on the things I am studying. Offline, I rely on the people around me studying similar subjects. I enjoy learning from peers and instructor alike.

    Hi Caroline! I think it is really cool that you are an Internatonal Affairs major. I know you said you are not certain about career, but what is your dream job? We share a lot of the same PLN's. I also use youtube and pinterest to get a better understanding of the world around me. In addition, I also use literature to keep me educated and to grow myself through world perspectives. I think casual sources such as books and social media are a great way to learn more about your field!

I interact a lot with health and news accounts on Instagram. It is an easy and free way to stay informed on current events, figures, and trends. Twitter could possibly be helpful in my future career as a great way to keep up with important figures and institutions in real time. Most professional have and use Twitter accounts, so I can follow and keep up with what is happening in my field.  The digital divide causes kids at school to be divided based on who has better access to software and technology. It also makes students with limited access to tech, wifi, and superior software disadvantaged with learning. Some causes of the digital divide are income and area(geography). As a teacher, not every students will have the same level of technology access and it is my responsibility to ensure that there are ways to do assignment without techno...

 I never used microsoft word in high school, but I have used it several times in college. I like it, and there are several useful tools. I do not think there is a huge difference between MS word and Google Docs. Since I am more familiar with Google Docs, I tend to prefer it. However, the more comfortable I get with word the more I am using it.  With the ISTE Standards of Educators, the Designer standard is the most meaningful to me. This standard makes educators design environments and spaces that are leaner friendly. This standard ensures that the educators are able to accommodate any types of students and the way they best learn. It is important for K12 educators to have this since it confirms that educators are able to teach all leaners in the best way possible for their learning. A digital native is a person who grew up around and in a technological world and are able to use and understand technology well. There are several times that teachers and instructors have asked th...
