Hey, everyone! My name is Emma Robertson, and I’m one of the many Emmas in this age range. I am in my third year of the Elementary Education program. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family and friends, watching Netflix, reading, or going for a walk. You can find my favourite show, Gilmore Girls, on Netflix. Personally, I do not have much experience with blogging. I don’t particularly enjoy journaling or casual writing, but I am excited to try an online format. I believe that this blog will be a nice resource to have in the future.
While I do not have much experience with blogging, I do have some experience with educational technology. I have used edusites before, and I am building off of a pre-existing ePortfolio that was made during my first year in the program. Also, I have lots of experience with Zoom due to the last few years of online learning. Additionally, I have needed to use YouTube to upload video assignments. From personal experience, I know that it can take multiple hours to upload a fourteen minute video to YouTube in a rural area, and the assignment can end up being nearly late! Outside of school, I have used multiple social media sites, like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. I’ve never used Twitter, but I am excited to learn about the site and create a page where I can network with other educators. Lastly, I am super excited to begin this class and connect with everyone!

I love the link to Gilmore Girls! I also have had issues with YouTube while trying to upload videos. Fingers crossed that the Universtiy wifi works better! I look forward to continuing this class with you!
Thanks Meghan! YouTube can be tricky, but hopefully this class gives us more opportunities to learn different things we can do with YouTube, as well as with the videos we upload!
