   Hello! My name is Shelby. I am from a small town in the panhandle of Florida. I am a current Freshman at Florida State University and am majoring in elementary education. I plan on earning my master's degree in elementary education and becoming a teacher. I enjoy hanging out with friends, going to the beach, spending time with my family, and spending my free time outside. 

  I have used technology in classes ever since middle school. My middle and high school used many different types of technology. We had access to chrome books in our English classes to write essays and do research. Any other classes we had computers on wheels (COWS) which allowed us to use computers weekly in our classes to work on projects. We also had iPads in select classes that allowed us to use scholarly apps and websites to learn more about that class. 

  When it comes to learning I mostly refer to textbooks for information on a specific subject. Throughout high school, we were given textbooks for the subject matter of that course. Moving to college I realized that most classes do not provide or require textbooks which has made me learn more about scholarly websites and programs. I have also used the online library to find information for my classes and to conduct research for assignments. I am still learning new about new resources that are useful for online classes.
