     Hello everyone, my name is Devin Starnes and I am currently attending FSU. I am a sophomore studying finance is FSU's school of business. I primarily spend my time working at Prime Meridian Bank as a teller and personal banker. On the off chance I have some free time, I enjoy going out with buddies and shooting a round of disc golf. 

    I have had quite a few experiences with technology in my academic career including introductory courses into educational technology. I also took web design 1-3 in high school and learned how to organize information on a website so that its efficient and pleasing to the eye. I have used various programs such as photoshop and premiere pro to create videos and edit pictures. In almost all of my classes at Florida State I have used technology in some kind of way whether it be canvas, live poll questions, or creating projects in the form of a website.

    My personal learning network is comprised of several social circles including clients, associates, and mentors. Each help me reach my goals for my future and help provide direction on how to effectively take steps. I also use quite a bit of social media including Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat which help me network with a wider audience. I am a huge fan of using YouTube to learn certain skills and be a part of discussions about important topics.

 Creating the website was like many of my previous experiences creating websites but it helped me sharpen my creative skills. I have made many websites for school projects but I had never had to embed google calendars within the website. Utilizing calendars has not necessarily been my forte but whenever I do use them it helps me stay organized. I liked the design aspect of creating the website and making sure there was congruence and consistency throughout the website. Moving into my career the google calendar aspect of this website will help me stay organized and create consistency for my own schedule. https://dstarnes00.weebly.com/ My experience with Diigo prior to this class was little to none. Using Diigo was extremely helpful when finding websites, sharing them, and then annotating. Annotating websites is not something I have done in the past and didn't really see the benefit to. However, I found the process was very easy and helpful when you need to share media found on websi

I have been using word ever since elementary school when I was first assigned a digital writing assignment. I have been able to draft hundreds of essays with it as well as create flyers, a few brochures, and lettering for poster boards. Word is by far the best word processor that I have used and prefer it over pages and Google Docs. The ISTE standards equip teachers for the effective implementation digital strategies that will enhance learning and teaching as well as altering the digital world. One of the standards that stands out to me most is the Facilitator role which empowers kids to take charge of their education. As a teacher you also are responsible for challenging the students and creating learning opportunities using technology. This standard emphasizes

 Using Twitter has not always been a useful experience in that most of the information gathering that I was doing was coming from Google news and various news outlets. Whenever I used Twitter, it seemed like a clunky way to gather inconsistent and rumored material. As of recent, I have been able to use Twitter in a way I actually feel benefits me. Following more Twitter pages that I find interesting has allowed me to get a glance of several social circles that I enjoy. Being able to get early news on new stock market movements and learning about new advances in companies around the world allows me to be more educated in the way I conduct my personal and financial growth. Using Twitter in the future will allow me to stay updated and connect with people as well as update other people on new findings that I might come across. The digital divide is the separation between students who have access to the internet or technological tools and those who do not. As a student this is very importan
