Blog Post #6

I am not the biggest fan of Diigo. I have had the most difficult time navigating the app. The icons and links are very hidden and the only way to operate the website is with tutorials made by other people that are not affiliated with Diigo. I do like that when you make the same post as someone else, it doesn't clog the feed with multiples of the same thing, but combines them into one.

Blogging I feel pretty neutral about. It is a way to express my opinions, and some of the prompts are challenging and get me to think. It took a little bit for me to figure out how to use Blogger, but it is pretty straight forward. I have not learned anything new about blogging, since I try to keep my posts similar to professional emails to maintain a professional online persona.

In school, I used Google and Microsoft Suites to complete assignments. I think it is useful to incorporate this in the class because teaching computer literacy and how to use writing and presentation apps is important. The skills will be used throughout student's lifetime. Presentations and essays usually need to be submitted using one of these suites so it is important for students to have a basic understanding before entering the workforce.

       I am a Florida State Student from a small town outside of Chicago, IL. I am Literature, Media, and Culture major, and I am a senior, graduating in the Fall of 2024. Living in Florida for the past three years has been a rollercoaster. I spent my freshman year at FSU - Panama City, and as my first exposure to the south, it was definitely a culture shock.      In high school, I was apart of the Future Business Leaders of America, and there I was exposed to a lot of technology. I helped create websites as well as operate numerous programs and robots. I took a web design class where I code an entire website from scratch. My sophomore year at FSU, I took a web programming and design class, where I worked with numerous coding software.     The primary learning network that I use is the Canvas app. It notifies me when I have assignments due, as well as gives me access to my grades and coursework at anytime. Offline, I tend to go to a lot of cafes and libraries to complete assignments. I

While working on the Web Design Assignment, I learned how to create a website and personalize it. I also learned how to utilize Google Calendars as well as how to insert it into a website. I enjoyed being able to create a lesson plan that involved literature that is beneficial to students as well as literature that I am passionate about. I may want to incorporate these skills in the future by creating a website lesson plan for students and parents to keep track of assignments and announcements.  My Website I do not know much about AI. I do not use it in my day to day life. Seeing how AI is impacting the writing field as well as the film and education fields prevents me from using it. By relying on AI, it discourages students and adults do not use their imagination. By discouraging children to use their imagination, their brains will not fully develop and they expect every answer given to them. They may not learn how to be creative and provide their own ideas. I avoid ChatGPT at all cos

EME 2040 has definitely been a positive experience for me. Creating lesson plans and researching teacher methods has made me reconsider what I would like to do with my career as well as assist me in receiving an education minor. I really like the class activities. They allow you to be creative while still being professional. That being said, I do feel like the assignments can be a lot to grasp, I am finding difficulty trying to gain knowledge about a certain platform to complete the assignment. I also find the creation of lesson plans difficult. I wish we had a template of what a lesson plan looks like so I can get a grasp as to what I need to include for my students. Open Educational Resources (OER) are resources available for teachers and students to use. They are usually covered under a license that allows free use of the resource. One of the blogs I found was an article describing how to teach students about climate change. They focused on the positive aspects of what assisting wit
