 Hi! I am Rayliana. I am a current Junior at Florida State University. I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in Education. I am from Palm Coast, a small town in Florida just south of St. Augustine. I have a dog here in Tallahassee with me. He is a miniature Australian Shepherd and Poodle mix. His name is Ozzie and he is the best boy in the world!


I haven't used technology and education together much. Last semester, I did have an education class where we were asked to complete group projects. In these projects, we used PowerPoint, generative AI, and other technological tools. I am excited to learn how to tie together education and technology together during this semester! 

To support my learning needs,  I use multiple resources. The resources I mostly use are office hours, GroupMe, study groups, and academic group chats. Additionally, I also have friends and roommates who are in similar courses as me and on the same track. My family is also very supportive of my academic goals while I am at Florida State.

  I chose this standard: LAFS.1112.RI.3.7. This standard asks that students s ynthesize and assess diverse information from various sources, spanning different media and formats, including visual and quantitative elements, along with written content. This process aims to effectively address a specific question or solve a problem. I feel prepared to implement this standard by incorporating a variety of multimedia resources, such as videos, graphs, and articles, into lesson plans to expose students to diverse information formats. Design assignments that require students to analyze and integrate information from multiple sources, fostering critical thinking skills. Provide guidance on how to effectively evaluate and synthesize information in both written and visual forms to address questions or solve problems. CPALMS resources can be effectively utilized in teaching by aligning them with specific curriculum standards and objectives, ensuring a targeted and comprehensive approach. Educator

During the Web Design assignment, I acquired several new skills that have greatly enhanced my understanding of designing websites. One of the key design principles I used was visual hierarchy. I ensured that important elements such as navigation menus and call-to-action buttons stood out prominently, while less important elements were visually subdued. For example, I used larger fonts and bold colors for headings to draw attention while using smaller fonts and lighter colors for less important text. Additionally, I paid close attention to the principle of consistency throughout the website. I maintained consistent typography, color schemes, and layout styles across all pages to provide a cohesive user experience. Overall, I enjoyed the assignment as it gave me hands-on experience in applying design principles to create functional and visually appealing websites. In my future career, these skills will be invaluable as I aim to create engaging digital experiences for users. https://civic

Working on Assignment 5: PowerPoint Interaction has equipped me with valuable skills in creating engaging and interactive presentations using PowerPoint. Through this assignment, I learned how to incorporate various interactive elements such as hyperlinks, buttons, and quizzes to enhance audience engagement and comprehension. I particularly enjoyed experimenting with animations and slide transitions to create a seamless and dynamic presentation experience. However, I found the process of troubleshooting and ensuring compatibility across different devices and platforms somewhat challenging. To improve this assignment in the future, I would focus on providing more comprehensive guidance on troubleshooting common issues and optimizing presentations for different viewing environments. Additionally, incorporating peer review or feedback sessions could help in refining the interactive elements for a better user experience. As a future civics/government teacher, I foresee utilizing data colle
