  • Ive been on Instagram for many years now but I haven't been on Twitter long. Instagram is super easy to navigate and I find myself interacting with mutuals and friends. Twitter I only really interact with strangers. Ive had a few job opportunities reach out through Instagram and its really great for advertising myself. Twitter for me personally doesn't help with my future career because I don't put myself out there on Twitter.
  • Digital divide is the disparity between technological access in different socioeconomic groups. The digital divide can negatively impact a student success in school. Some causes could be different economic status's and bad funding. Reflecting on this I want to be aware of the digital divide, adopt flexible teaching methods and advocate for solutions.
  •  Two software tools I would use are Canva and Kahoot. Canva is a tool I personally use to make pretty PowerPoints/documents. I feel like it would keep students more engaged in class. Kahoot is a game students play and answer questions related to class. Its super educational and enaging.

    This is a very insightful post, and I am glad I was able to learn more about how Instagram helps you professionally. I find that navigating through Instagram from a business profile can be a little bit more challenging. You have to be able to filter our scammers and other opportunities that may not be legit. I am glad you were able to learn how to do this, and find an outlet that allows you to advertise yourself.
    I also enjoyed reading more about your perspective on the digital divide. I believe it is important to find alternative solutions for students who are impacted by the digital divide. Relying on technology use solely can be harmful for these students, especially when they don't feel they have the resources to learn.
    Thank you for sharing!

 Around High school, I was introduced to Word and it has since become a very important application in my journey as a student. I prefer Word to everything else because I feel it's the easiest to navigate. I have tried pages before but it doesn't feel the same, or as productive. Microsoft applications coming with every student's email is such a nice advantage of being a student. The ISTE Standards for Educators provides a guide to integrate technology into learning. One standard is facilitator where educators have to provide a curious environment where learners can explore technology. I think is important for individual creativity and making learning fun. I also believe collaborative software is so important in the field of education. being a digital native means working well with technology since you were born in the technology era. I believe Gen Alpha falls into this category and has a complex understanding of technology, but not all of Gen Z. To be born in an era and to b...

The school website I looked on and most websites in general have many helpful resources for students and parents. There are links to student sites such as Canvas and Khan Academy. There are also links for parents such as links to additional help resources, and contact information links. There are many important updates for both parents and students on the site, as well as the current subject/curriculum.    https://www.leonschools.net/domain/1574  I will be using technology to easily communicate with students and parents. I think integrating AI tools into learning can make the job get done more efficiently. Integrative tools such as Zoom and online classrooms can be useful in teaching as well as learning. It ensures all who have extenuating circumstances with be given equal opportunity.  I really liked the part of the assignment where we had to create a page to give credit to each person in the group and what job they completed. The pages were supe...

 My name is Ashley Palladino and I'm a sophomore at FSU. I'm currently studying psychology and minoring in education and communications. I have a cat named Coconut who I found in a bush in August and she's my favorite thing in the world. I love her, as well as going out with friends, doing yoga, and going on long walks.  I used technology in an educational setting only in high school. Before high school, I had never used any technology besides a TV and Xbox. The only sites I'm very comfortable using are Canvas, Quizlet, and ChatGpt. Other than those three I'm still working on mastering technology. In learning, I use both on and offline resources to further my learning. Most online programs I use include Canvas, Word, and Outlook to contact the school and upload assignments. For understanding concepts better I turn to Youtube, Khan Academy, and TikTok. The only offline resources I use are my professors and the library.
