My prior experiences with computer technology include using the computer and internet for school related assignments and personal use. I have used computer technology to type papers and assignments. I have also done research for assignments through the internet. I use the computer to keep in touch with friends and family through email and instant message. My first semester at Florida State I took CGS 2060 which taught me many basic skills about computers. Computer technology is not the only technology I use though. I enjoy taking many photos and use my digital camera a lot. I download those pictures to my computer and I sometimes email them to friends and family. Television is another form of technology I use everyday. I also use the microwave many times a week. Technology is all around us and it is something I use every day.
Through this class, I hope to increase my skills with computers. I hope to learn more about computers and how to incorporate them into my future classroom. I also hope to increase my knowledge about computers in general as well as computer programs and software.
This summer, I lived in Dresden, Germany. I was able to go through a Florida State abroad program, Beyond Borders. It was a great experience and I had a wonderful time there. It was my first time in Europe and I loved living within another culture. We were able to travel to other parts of Europe through the program which was beautiful. Besides traveling, I enjoy dancing, the beach, my family, friends, fishing, and my dog. My family has a beach house 45 minutes away from Tallahassee and I always enjoy spending weekends there with family and friends. I love doing all activities on the boat but my favorite is fishing. I have been a dancer since I was four years old and it has been a big part of my life since. I recently started a new job, teaching a P.E. dance class at a local high school. I have really enjoyed being involved with teaching dance and to also have an opportunity to be an educator at a high school level.
