     Hi! My name is Jenna Rabin. I'm a freshman at FSU, but I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. The first thing I enjoy telling people is that I am a huge nerd. I love to read and write and I will constantly have conversations about TV shows and movies whenever I'm prompted to. Harry Potter and Star Wars are basically personality traits of mine. I'm also very short, only five feet tall, but fun size. 

    In schools, I've had experience with Microsoft applications such as Teams, Word, and Powerpoint. I've had to use those a lot through high school, especially Microsoft Teams, as it was the way we had virtual classes at the end of last semester. I've also used the Georgia Virtual Schools online platform for my online classes my senior year, so I got familiar with a certain platform for online classes. I have also used Microsoft OneNote, because a lot of teachers in my high school required us to take notes and submit work through it.

    My personal learning network consists of platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, GroupMe, and more. On Instagram and Facebook, I follow and keep up to date with various clubs and organizations that I'm a part of such as my sorority and Hillel. Also on Pinterest, I am able to see different ways people study. There are various posts on study habits that I have found quite useful. GroupMe has also been a huge help all the way through high school and into college. The 2020 seniors from high school used it as a way to plan senior skip days and events, and in college I am part of group chats for various classes and my dorm hall in order to get information. Offline, I like to study with groups of people in my classes to promote active learning, as well.

    Were you required to take an online class through Georgia Virtual School? It wasn't a requirement when I was growing up in Atlanta (but that was many years ago!). Did you enjoy it? How did your online class(es) compare to your other in-person classes?

      I wasn't required to take classes, but I chose to senior year because there were classes offered on GAVS that weren't offered in-person at my high school, such as mythology and sociology, which were the classes I took. I did enjoy it, although if I'm being honest, I didn't learn as much as I wish I had about those subjects. It was easier for online classes to get things done, and I enjoyed being able to go home early, but I wish I had learned more.

    Hi Jenna! I loved reading your post, one thing that I noticed is how we have some of the same personal learning networks. I am always using Facebook, Group me and pinterest. I especially love pinterest because you can honestly find anything you need on there such as ways to study like you said.

     The Web Design assignment was very interesting. I have used Weebly before, but because I was so young when I did, I didn't realize how much there was to create your website. I learned so many ways to make a website unique, and it made it super simple to use. There were a lot of shortcuts to put a lot of different things in the website just by clicking and dragging a link. After creating a mock-teacher website, I will definitely consider making one of my own when I become a teacher. Here is the link to my website:   http://rabin2ndgrade.weebly.com/      From Diigo, I learned a lot on how to annotate online. I didn't even realize when we first started using Diigo how to attach an extension to Chrome, so using the Diigo extension helped me see how to do so. The Diigo extension allowing me to annotate the various bookmarks, and it was very cool how it was able to be shared with the rest of the class. As useful as Diigo was for this class, I do not thi...

      Copyright is is the legal right, given to the creator of something to share their own work, and give others permission to do the same. It protects intellectual property, which is anything as a result of creativity. Fair use allows people to take small portions of copyrighted material and share them. People such as teachers use this in order to help teach material. I would first educate my students on both of these concepts to make sure they understand the limits and importance of copyright and fair use, as there are consequences to breaking them. I would also make sure for things they use, that they credit the creator and check for copyrighted materials before even thinking about using it.     Cyberbullying is a huge problem, especially in this day and age. I believe that the most important and efficient way to prevent it is to educate people. I would set aside time to talk about cyberbullying, ways to spot it, and how to approach it and report it in a mat...
