Hi, 
This is my first blog because I'm doing this for an education class at Florida State. 
A little bit about myself:
I'm born and raised in Tallahassee and I attend FSU as a psychology major. My main interests are in clinical and abnormal psychology. But, I've always had an interest in child development and child psychology as well which has lead me to wanting a career in the education field. I have two intense dogs who I adore regardless of their unique personalities. I also love food and eat all day everyday. 
My Experience with Tech: 
To be honest I feel like I'm a little behind with technology sometimes. I don't get involved much with social media and I really just use powerpoint, excel, and word for when needed at school. My knowledge doesn't go much further than what I absolutely need to know. 
What I hope to learn is the things I don't know. I'd like to learn about applications I might need in the education field, what my students may need to use, or any special education sites to utilize. I'd like to learn as much as possible to become the best teacher I can be without being hindered by technology like a stereotyped teacher.

Open Terms: As said in the podcast open education is about making education experiences available to a wide source. Course material may be available free on the internet for example. Open Content allows inspiration for teachers as long as following copyright rules. There are four R's for this process: reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. OER commons is an example of open content and specifies conditions for use.  With open source it refers to software that is made available for anyone to access. These are helpful with people on limited budgets but not all are free. OER:  These are all based on the belief set that everyone should have the right to high-quality education and resources. They help educators benefit by collaborating on material to further build their teaching capabilities.It also allows for modification of content, for example if a teacher needed to modify a word problem to be geographically relevant to their location. There are sets of rules for educa...

I believe it's a daunting task to teach and teach well. ELA standards help set a focus on what character, independence, and content knowledge needs to be built in the student. There's always room to build upon when it comes to teaching; it's a constant learning experience. I feel like when it comes to creating the best student I can through ELA standards I have basic knowledge but could have a better understanding of all of them.  CPALMS: CPALMS is a Florida specific tool for K-12 educators but can still be used nationwide. Within it there are educational resources to use like lesson plans and videos as well as resources for student such as educational games. Teachers can also is it as a planning tool for their classroom curriculum. Also, CPALMS was developed at FSU. Of course in the classroom having these extra tools, planners, and resources is extremely valuable. It also already goes with Florida standards to help guide my future classroom. I enjoyed being creative wit...

I can't come up with a new technology source that I would like to learn off of the top of my head. But, I think it would be helpful and important to advance my skills in the applications I do use and know. Of course I know the basics but I am far from an expert and there are still parts that I struggle with. So before I try to learn the basics or progress with something else I'd like to hone in my skills I have today. Check out my comments on  Sierra's  and  Gabi's  blogs!
