Introduction

Hello! My name is Brooke Jennings and I am a sophomore at Florida State University majoring in International Relations. Instead of going up to FSU for the semester I decided to stay home with my family down in Tampa, Florida. What is keeping me busy is a new job that I got over the summer and balancing school work on top of that. If I do have free time I usually watch tv, more specifically anime. Once this pandemic is over, I am excited to see my grandparents and have Sunday night dinners again with them.

Prior to class, I have used some technology in an educational setting. Most prominently, I used turn it in, Google docs, and Powerpoint. Google docs was probably the platform that I used the most so my classmates and I could communicate and work on the same thing while being away from each-other. Powerpoint was most used presentation method for me in high school. Some other minor platforms that I used prior would be Prezi, Photoshop, and Piktochart. Personally, I do not think I am that great with technology compared to others my age but hopefully I improve and get a better understanding. 

At FSU, some of my personal learning networks are Canvas and Outlook to communicate, keep up to date with assignments and access information I need for my classes. I also like to use Youtube to help me learn and study a certain subject and for personal use like trying to set up imesages on my computer. Besides these online tools, I like to use my teachers and any books that I need for a certain class to help succeed. Lastly, I like to go to my friends for help and I usually ask as many questions as possible.
