Howdy, my name is Ben and, I'm a Sophomore at FSU studying History. As for the title of this post, I was having difficulty coming up with an appropriate title. To rectify this, I asked my friend for a title and the above is what they provided. As a disclaimer, the title is not representative of my views, or the views expressed in this post as a whole. Any further correspondence related to this post's title should be directed towards the friend who provided it to me.
As a student in the modern age, technology has been a large part of my previous learning experience. Word, PowerPoint and Excel have been a requirement for most of my classes since middle school, with some classes requiring much more from a technology standpoint. The most technologically advanced thing I have created to date was an ad for a fake political party I created in my government class. It took me a few hours in a video editor, and it is by far my best (and only) video I have created.
As for PLN's, I've kept in contact with some of my previous teachers, who have all recommended me some excellent books relating to my major. Past that, I've kept all my notes, as well as a lot of the material from previous education and history classes, just in case I need to access it. Besides that, I've got easy access to some scholarly article archives which I can use for further research. There are also a few websites I have saved from previous classes which I found fairly novel and could possibly use in future classes.
What a fun video! :-) As for your PLN, your teachers are definitely in your PLN. However, I encourage you to think about more online and offline spaces where you connect with people to share/acquire resources. Do you follow any historians or social media groups to learn more about history or teaching career?
