First Blog Post!


Hi, Blogger! I’m MAY ZHUH and I’m a junior studying education at Florida State University. My number one aspiration in life is to learn all that I possibly can so that I can live a good life and provide a better life for the generations that come after me. I love to cook, my favorite dish is shrimp and grits at the moment. I’m currently pescatarian but my goal is to go fully vegan by May 1, 2020. Some of my hobbies include listening to music, traveling and vlogging on YouTube. If interested, you can watch my videos here: https://youtube.com/channel/UChYRie-eA8Zscl7yjKJc96w

I have had a pretty good experience with using technology in educational setting thus far. It’s never really been anything of a challenge for me, I’ve always been able to quickly adapt to new technologies as technology has gotten more and more advanced. The hardest thing I had to learn when using technology  in class was Microsoft Excel but over time it became easier for me once I mastered the basics. It has definitely helped me whenever I needed a spreadsheet and didn’t have time to wait for someone else to make it for me.

My personal online learning networks include but aren’t limited to YouTube Tutorials, WikiHow and TikTok tutorials. I usually use these networks when attempting to learn new skills that will help me make better YouTube videos and promotional content. I would say that I use these networks to help me learn these skills about 2-3 times a week. So far, I’ve learned to edit, make intros, outros, channel art and video trailers with these networks.

    Since the beginning of the pandemic, I've been watching many vlogs on YouTube. Many of them are YouTubers living in Asia, because I miss travelling, food, and culture of Asia so much! I also noticed that many people opt to have their own YouTube or podcast channels around this time. I believe that making a video or podcast must necessitate a vast array of skills and knowledge. I'd like to learn more about your experiences and knowledge of making YouTube videos throughout this semester :)

    Hi! I think it's awesome that you have such a dedication to your channel and content, I think it's so cool to see people working hard for something they love so much.

My experience with Twitter has been good for the most part, though there are highly political times where it becomes too overwhelming to use with raw footage of violent acts and stories of abuse everywhere you swipe. Regardless of that, I mostly interact with my friends and random people who like the same music as me. We sometimes get into debates and discussions on certain projects and express our anticipation for music to come from our favorite artists. This is beneficial for me because it keeps me up to date on the latest of things from celebrity news and new albums to the latest happenings around the world. I believe that Twitter will be beneficial in the future by acting as a way that people can touch on all topics and find out about what’s going on in other parts of the world without it being censored or limited. The digital divide impacts students who do not have consistent access to technology. This means that although they may have internet and computer access to excel at scho...

In this blog post, I will be discussing common standards for American schools. The ELA technology standards I decided to focus on are the ones for Kindergarten since that is the grade level I am looking to teach. The standards for Kindergarten are to introduce them to digital resources that allow them to produce and publish written documents and comparing them to their peers’ works. I personally do feel as though I can implement this standard into teaching as I am incredibly familiar with writing digitally through MS Word and other word processing programs. The tool I chose to speak on from the CPALMS kindergarten toolkit was the visual arts standard on discussing personal choices in creating art. I would use this in my classroom to give my students an opportunity to get exposed to art and art interpretations so that they can begin to understand artists. I would also use this standard to allow them to get creative and make art of their own during class so that we can discuss why they m...
