My name is Isabel Colom and I am a student at Florida State University. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my 2 best friends, Grace and Jordyn. Many of my friends would describe me as a kind and genuine friend, and I try to stay true to that. My friends and family are super important to me so I always try to be my complete self when I am with them. I also enjoy time being productive whether it is doing homework or running around doing errands. 

 I am keeping an open mind because prior to this course, technology has been somewhat frustrating for me to use in an educational setting. This all began when I took a computer course in high school that I absolutely hated, and then took another computer course through dual enrollment. I didn't do awesome in either of them which was super frustrating just because I would say I am somewhat tech savvy outside of the classroom. In the course, I am excited to start learning about some new programs and give it another shot. 

My personal learning network includes many different factors such as people and locations. Some of the people that are apart of my PLN are Grace, Jordyn, my parents, and my boyfriend. These people have a huge impact on my PLN because they keep me motivated to do well in school and are always there if I am feeling overwhelmed or just need a little push. A location that is a part of my PLN is my sorority house because there are many study spaces that I can use to achieve my goals. One of my favorite places to study in house is the Informal because there is plenty of table space to set out all of my materials.

    Hey Isabel! I totally agree that technology in the classroom or used to teach can be frustrating!

    I completely understand how technology can be frustrating for you. I feel like I know the bare minimum about technology to get myself through school! I am excited to learn more about different things in technology by taking this class.

    I definitely agree with you when you describe technology as frustrating, as before coming to college I never really worked closely with Microsoft and Canvas. I had always used Google platforms in middle and high school. I am also looking forward to this class in order to get more comfortable with other new platforms and just learn more overall!

 During the web design assignment I was super excited to work on it because it was something I had never done before. Using Weebly was unique and unlike something I had done, so I had my fair share of questions to google. Overall the design elements I used included pictures, fonts, and colors. I think that adjusting the font and colors of the words on my website made a big difference in the overall appeal of the website. I overall really liked this assignment even though at times it was frustrating.    My Website! In my life currently, I don't use a lot of AI features just because I don't know how I feel about them. Specifically, a lot of people in my generation have been using the Snapchat AI feature. I feel as though the AI is tracking information through the messages sent by the user, so I choose not to partake. ChatGPT is also very popular with many of my classmates and I actually haven't used that platform either!! So as far as AI goes, I am not very familiar with the

       Throughout Elementary school I remember Microsoft programs being introduced to me. One of the first few that I learned about were Microsoft Word and PowerPoint because we would use them to make projects. In Middle and Highschool we focused on using these to advance our skillset and I even took a class to learn more about these computer programs. I do also like Google Docs but only for taking informal notes while being in class. For any assignment that needs to be in MLA or APA format, I would use Microsoft Word.      I really found concept 1.6 interesting on the "For students" tab just because I feel that is a necessary skill that technology can advance. The 1.6 Standard was titled "Creative Communicator" which is super important. Another side that I was able to see with this is that people learn differently, so students being able to communicate in different way allows students the opportunity to learn from each other. 1.6a wants students to use different pl
