I really enjoyed using the survey tool! I thought it was fun and I believe it is a great resource for students to be engaged in their learning. In the future, I want to become a high school history teacher and I would use surveys and data collecting tools to receive feedback about my lessons and how effective they are or are not in the classroom. I would also like to use surveys for how the material impacted the students so their opinions are not influenced by their peers, they can really get engaged in how/what they are learning. By using multiple choice and short responses on a survey, I can collect information from students who may not raise their hand in the classroom on any material like previously stated and even on what history lesson we should explore next!
There were many topics I explored while viewing my classmates blogs. It was cool to see everyones PowerPoint assignments and what material/topic they chose to do their assignment on. I learned more about history just from viewing two other of my classmates blog posts on their PowerPoint! I also read up on my classmates ILPs and learned new information on edX courses. EdX courses are were teachers post classes to teach and earn certificates online without actually going into a classroom or enrolling in school, so I thought that was very interesting and neat! I also read about people’s experience with Lynda tutorials, technology showcases, and the tech sandbox room here at FSU.

I would like to learn more about database skills and spreadsheets with the use of Excel. I personally never used Excel so personally it is the most confusing technology-related skill that I have yet to master. I would like to learn more about Excel and how I can use it to my advantage in and outside of the classroom because I know it can be a very useful tool in regards to collecting data and using math functions. I will achieve this goal by informing myself more on Excel through maybe a Lynda tutorial (if they offer one) and even by the help of others! I would just really like to know how to navigate through Excel and all of the features it has to offer.

I believe that there are many aspects that contribute to the use of technology within education. Teachers and students use technology in the classroom for a variety of reasons such as communication and ways to interact and learn with and through others in the digital world. Being able to collaborate through the use of technology has opened up a world of new possibilities as well. Technology is becoming a major part of our world and teachers and students will continue to be influenced to implement technology within their classroom to allow communication to extend beyond the classroom itself. In regards to ISTE and the standards that they set, I believe that setting these standards and supporting the use of technology through education is a great service to educators. By setting standards to regulate and guide the use of technology it allows for a better chance to strive towards positive technological skills and knowledge within the education systems. Out of the seven student standa

Mia Catarello

Hey everyone! My name is Mia Catarello and I was born in Chicago, Illinois. When I was six years old my family moved to Valparaiso, Indiana where I lived and attended school until I graduated from high school. The summer after I graduated, I moved to Orlando, Florida to live with my sister and her husband and children. I spent an entire year living with them while working towards becoming a Florida resident. So basically I took a Gap Year after high school and moved across the country! The weather definitely took some getting used to (and trust me it still is) but I don't regret my choice to move here. I was able to get in-state-tuition at FSU and now I am here and ready to start my sophomore year! Personally, I don't have much prior experience using technology in an educational setting. Where I attended school we never had any personal I-pads or laptops, just the ones available in the school library which was very limited. I also never had a computer or laptop growing up in
