 About Me Post

By Michelle Pouair

    Hello everyone, 

    My name is Michelle Pouair, I am a third year criminology major at Florida State University from the sunny Daytona Beach, Florida. I like to kayak, try restaurants around town, go to the beach, travel, and adventure. On my free time you can find me reading, studying, vlogging, and finding new hair tips to keep my loc's healthy. I use to do extra-curricular activities that involved the fine arts like music, painting, singing however I have phased out of those and gotten into other hobbies.
    
    Prior to my educational technologies class I have great experiences in all realms of technology from computers to projectors, different video creation applications,  and graphic designing applications. Overtime as I gained access to more resources I was able to learn a lot more about the different technologies and things technology could do. I have not fully wrapped my head around the AI generated professional photos and baby makers however I have used AI generated writing to improve many of my papers and projects. Grammarly is probably my most used application simply because it improves your writing and helps get those wordy sentences out. 

    Some personal learning networks I use are TikTok, twitter, you tube, and google. My mom has a saying that "you tube university" will be the next big 4-year university. I always laughed and told her it could never be true however the evolution and popularity of you tube has come a long way. Offline resources that I use are typically magazines/books and people I know (word of mouth). Simply asking people who have experience and access to a wealth of knowledge in whatever I am interested in or seeking an understanding for. 

Thanks for allowing me to do this brief introduction for you, Welcome to my Blog!

Blog 8: Webpage Design ft. AI

Website:  Welcome back to another 24/7 trap blog post where today we will be discussing the ever-evolving world of technology and education, I've recently embarked on a journey that has not only broadened my skill set but also deepened my understanding of the association between design and functionality. Working on this web design assignment for class has equipped me with invaluable skills that I can carry forward in my career. Through this project, I delved into various design principles such as simplicity, consistency, and visual hierarchy. (The webpage you're viewing was created by me but I blog under a Pseudonym : Michelle Pourier)  For example, on my website, I strategically employed Color Theory in crafting my "About Me" flyer located under the " About Me " tab. Pastel colors were deliberately chosen to evoke specific emotions aligned with the atmosphere I aimed to create for students and families visiting my webpage. These hues, often associated with

My take on Digital Natives

  Blog Post 2:  My experience:  In my experience through K-12 words didn't become a thing to learn until middle school. In the elementary school I attended we wrote our essays old school...that's right paper and pencil. When I went to sixth grade that's when Word became more available the school district I was in provided all of their students with a free Office 365 subscription. This meant we were provided with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, note, outlook, etc. The first time I used Microsoft was to create a brochure for my sixth-grade literature class. The brochure had to be based on the different settings from the book "The Westing Game" that we were reading. Now that I am in college I use many word-processing apps such as Grammarly and Google Docs. I prefer to use Grammarly to help me with punctuation, wordy sentences, and other improvements in my writing then I paste that into Google Docs because they are better at catching my citation errors than Grammarly is.  Ag
