     Hello, my name is Tyson Brown I'm a senior here at FSU and plan on graduating in Spring 2024. I'm originally from Miami, Florida and I moved here to Tallahassee in 2020. This is the first educational course I'm taking as I am a criminology major, and I recently declared education my minor. Some of my hobbies include working out, spending time with my friends, or playing with my dog Kashi.

    During high school, I was in the IT academy for 2 years, so I have some experience with using technology in an educational setting. During that time, we were taught how to use Microsoft programs such as Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Word. That was a few years ago so I'm sure I don't remember everything that I learned, but I still know the basics. I also took a PowerPoint class during my second year of college.

    The resources I use to support my educational goals can range depending on what I'm engaging in. If I'm taking classes that are more difficult than usual, then I'll be spending a great deal of time in the Strozier library. On the other hand, if I'm trying to learn how to repair something on my car then I'll do research on YouTube or the internet. Other resources that I use may include books or asking a friend or expert about the matter.

    Having that IT experience will probably come in handy for this class! I find it cool how you declared an education minor to pursue alongside your criminology major!

    Your previous experience in the IT academy sounds very interesting! I'm confident that you will apply your knowledge and skills in this course and continue to develop them further.

     Working on the web design assignment was different than our previous assignments. The Weebly software is different from anything I've used before, so it was slightly difficult for me to get used to it. I tried to stick to the CRAP design principles while working on the assignment and this made the experience a little easier. I did this by sticking with 2-3 design fonts, ensuring that there was high contrast, and considering alignment and proximity. I liked having to use a software that I wasn't familiar with because it was something new but if we would've had a little more experience with it beforehand it may have been easier. However, I'm glad that I did this assignment because now I technically know how to create a website. Mr. Brown's 5th Grade Website - Home Page (weebly.com)     Diigo is a very useful website for research and bookmarking. I'm very fond of the highlighting and "sticky note" features as they can automatically link others in you

      My overall experience with EME2040 has been very positive. I like how interactive and inclusive we are in our classroom and having an assignment to do almost every day keeps me on my toes. I wouldn't say that there's anything that I dislike about our class. As a teacher, I think that it's important to ensure that every student feels involved. I know it's harder than it sounds but, that's something I'd aim for as a teacher.     Open educational resources (OER) are educational resources that people can have access to typically through online means. Educators usually have access to OER repositories which are libraries holding lessons, books, open images, module building tools, and more. I recently found an initiative by Tallahassee Community College to promote OERs in order for instructors to use them instead of high-cost instructional materials. There's a quite lengthy process, however, I think this is a great initiative because I'm familiar with how
