Blog Journal #1

     Hi! My name is Lindsay Ferrua. I am a sophomore at Florida State University, majoring in special education. I am from Sarasota, Florida. In my free time, I really enjoy reading, drawing, and painting. I also like watching movies, listening to music, and hanging out with my friends for fun. 

    My experience with technology in an educational setting is mostly as a student. A lot of my assignments and overall work are done using technology. In high school, I used Word and PowerPoint frequently in my classes so I am very familiar with those applications. I am also familiar with exams and tests being online and taken on a computer. Especially in the last two years with Covid-19, most of my learning has been through technology. Whether it is watching recorded lectures, joining an online Zoom classes, or completing my work on my laptop, I have become fairly comfortable with technology in an educational setting. 

    I think my learning resources depend on what I am learning and in what class. My most frequently used learning resource would be my assigned textbook for whatever course I am taking. I also think I sometimes rely on Google to be a learning source for me, especially if I am confused by my textbooks or by a lecture on a certain topic or concept. I go to my TAs or my professors as a learning resource when I find myself struggling in a class. I also use Quizlet a lot when it comes to studying for quizzes or exams.
