Journal #1

         Hi everyone! I am so happy and excited to be in this course, EME 2040! A little bit about me :)! My name is Olivia Coogle and I am a senior here at FSU! I am studying public health and hopefully after graduation will continue on into nursing school. Some fun facts about me are I have a twin brother, I have 2 little dogs, and I also love to watch movies and tv shows! I currently work at planet fitness (the gym), and in my free time I love to work out and just hangout with friends or at home. 

    Prior to this course I had no real experience in educational technology or this field of study. Of course I have always used technology, technology is something that I heavily grew up with and relied on inside and outside of school! In thinking about my past experiences using technology, definitely in the classroom I am familiar with and use frequently like my laptop and computers, phones, tablets etc. I also am pretty familiar with Microsoft office and different online websites likes canvas etc. However, aside from the basic technology forms I do not have any advanced experience. 

    We learned on Tuesday that PLNs or "personal learning networks" are anything that can be relied upon to meet learning and especially technological needs. This includes experts, colleagues, or resources (both online and offline). Some examples that first come to mind are the Strozier library on campus and then also places like Thagard or the Career Center! All of these are great PLNs, as they not only have the resources and tools to help you in learning, but also staff and experts who can help you. Another PLN that I love to use is quizlet and canvas! Both of these are great online PLNs that help support my learning needs! They allow me to keep up on my assignments, study for homework or exams, and organize all of my information that I am learning in the classroom! 

    This summarizes Journal entry #1, but I am so excited to be in this course and to continue learning more about educational technology! :)

    Hi Olivia! I also agree that the Strozier Library is a great PNL.

      In the lecture this week we discussed ELA Standards and Common Core State Standards. ELA Standards and standards in general are what provide schools a roadmap to guide teaching and skills needed to set students up for success. The full list of standards can be extensive and overwhelming to read. This is why the Florida Department of Education created matrices to help teachers bind this bridge. For this assignment, we were asked to pick a grade level and subject matter interesting to us and to read about and select one of the standards found on ELA's  website. As a current public health major I decided the best subject for me to teach would be "health education" and the grade level I chose was Kindergarten! My standard was titled "HE.K.CEH.1.2.", it encompassed being able to teach kindergarteners ways to prevent communicable diseases. While I feel I am definitely able to teach this topic, I don't know if I agree that it is teachable to kindergarteners o

           This week in lecture we discussed issues around Intellectual property, copyright, fair use, etc. .. To fully understand these topics we must first learn what copyright and these other ideas are. Copyright is a form of protection for intellectual property; it means that that person or property has exclusive rights to use and distribute it.  An example of this seen in action is through "fair use", this was enacted in part of the Copyright Act of 1976; it establishes guidelines and allows for users to copy material for nonprofit educational purposes! So why does all of this matter in terms of education? As future educators we will be utilizing others' work and intellect; understanding copyright laws and what you do and do not have rights to, share, copy, etc., is extremely important!      As we continued the lecture we discussed past and more emerging technology problems that educators  are now having to face. The one I found most interesting or at least pertaine
