I hope to learn more about more of the technical sides of using technology in an education setting. Specifically, I hope to learn how to have more control on what I create with technology. This can help me in the future as it will allow me to customize what I create to serve the specific purpose that I need it to have. Additionally, I hope to use the knowledge that I get from the technical side of using technology in the classroom to allow for me to adapt my resources to better suit my students.
Throughout my K-12 experience, I have predominantly used Google Suites to benefit me in an educational setting. More specifically, I have used applications such as Google Slides to create presentations, and at this point in my life, I would say I have a pretty strong understanding of these functions. I have also used applications such as Canva and Notion to help make cute infographics, or images in general, as well as keep track of all of my assignments and have a nice calendar to go along with it. Besides this, my experiences with using technology in the classroom are limited as there hasn't been much opportunities in my past to expand past these technologies.
I like to learn, but I suppose more specifically I like to learn about niche little topics, which normally pertains to history. Within my PLN, I especially utilize YouTube as it allows me to go on little rabbit holes of treasure troves of information. I also like to read about random tidbits of history, which tends to be in the form of physical books in my own collection, as well as the library, as well as what the internet has to offer in terms of articles published. Courses that I take help expand this knowledge even further.
Hello Emma, throughout reading your blog, I thought it was cool that you want to learn how to use technology to teach and how you want to adapt your tech to your students. I also used Canva throughout high school and college, and I love how easy and fun it is to use.
