EME SPRING 2022
Hello! My name is Lindsey Kaplan, I'm 21 years old, and I am a junior at Florida State University. I am currently majoring in sociology, and minoring in education. I am from Boca Raton, Florida, which is about a 7-hour drive south of Tallahassee. While growing up, I was inspired by so many amazing teachers, which made me want to enter the education field myself! I am excited to learn how to incorporate technology into education, and I look forward to this class.
While attending school, I often had to use technology in class for projects and assignments. I have used Microsoft Office for a very long time, but I am just learning how to become comfortable using Microsoft Excel. Furthermore, I have used websites such as Kahoot, Prezi, and other supplemental technology while being a student. Personally, I would consider myself very comfortable using technology, but I also am aware that I could improve my skills. I have the basics of educational technology under my belt, but I could learn how to use technology more efficiently than I do now!
Technology is essential in supporting my learning needs and my learning goals. Two technological resources I frequently use are Grammarly and Speechify. Grammarly is great for helping with my grammar and spelling when typing essays. I also commonly use speechify when reading online textbooks. Speechify reads online text out loud, which helps me focus on the content I am reading. Furthermore, I use resources such as Zoom to support my learning goals. During Covid, online classes all took place on zoom, which allowed me to connect with my teachers online and successfully learn the content of the course.
