- Data collections (surveys) and excel are both helpful in my opinion. Surveys could be used for any grade level I think, to ask students gain feedback on certain things. For example, the end of the semester surveys that Florida State sends their students at the end of every semester is helpful for the school so they know what areas professors should maybe work on for future reference. Excel sheets can be very useful if you're teaching a math class. My roommate who is an accounting major, uses excel on a frequent basis for accounting classes as it requires you to really know how to use it for the different reasons. I would say excel can start being used in school at around 9th grade. 

- A topic I found interesting on a classmates blog was from Jamie Rudden, she did one of her powerpoint assignments on Florida and different cool facts about it. Being from Florida, I love to learn new things about the state and the different cities in it. I'm really big in to Geography and learning and exploring different places as well. 

- Although we have went over it in class and have used it a few times, I would love to master excel. Being great at excel is a really good skill to have in todays world. Especially since nowadays everything is technology based. My mom is an account advisor for citibank and uses excel on a daily basis and is really good at it. I would love to be on her level. The only way to get better at it is to keep practicing, playing with excel and watching tutorial videos on Youtube, which help a lot.

My name is Kevin Dacruz. I am 21 year old senior here at Florida State University. I am originally from a small town in Connecticut, but moved to Tampa FL as a kid and grew up most of my life there. I am majoring in Media Communication Studies and plan to move to Los Angeles for work after college.  I've always seen technology being used in a school setting ever since I was very young. Whether it was using a computer for an AR test in elementary school, checking out books in the library, or if it was my math teachers using smart boards and elmos for lectures. The smart boards are probably the most advanced technology piece I remember seeing. A lot of my teachers also used a good amount of powerpoints to teach class. In this class I hope to learn how to use different types of programs and technologies I never was familiar with, as well as being able to use it in the educational fashion.

As a communications major here at Florida State, I've grown to learn how essential and beneficial one can be by communicating in the right manner. Something I feel that should be taught more in todays schools maybe starting at the 8th or 9th grade level is communicating properly, and by that I mean knowing how to respond to a certain question or statement using the right words, and how to ask a question or statement when needed. I think public speaking is essential to anyone in life no matter what career one is trying to pursue. Having students make powerpoint presentations and presenting them in class is ideal and really can break a students shell of being shy and being able to talk out loud to anyone and about anything. One thing I think needs learning are bigger words that aren't in the average persons vocabulary on a daily basis. Learning to use bigger words and expanding your vocabulary can really make a difference when talking to someone no matter what the topic is about.

    - This is a screen shot of the main homepage from the High school that I attended. On this page, students and parents can navigate around the page to find out much information on many different things. As you can see, there is a tab for athletics, faculty and staff, which is where you can find contacts for every employee at the school. There is also a programs tab which shows the many different classes and academic programs the school has to offer. There is also a calendar and a resources tab which can you show you the lunch menu for the week and much more. - Using technology will be a huge part of my future career, and really anyone's future career. As a communication major, I am currently learning how to code websites and learning how to web design. I also am decent at excel and plan on getting better at it as I feel like in today's corporate world, are two huge good things to be good at doing. Social media designing is also something I am interested in. In today'
