 Hello everyone!

My name is Sofia Genta and I am a student at Florida State University. I am a sophomore majoring in Criminology with a minor in Education. Last year, I rescued a dog from the local shelter who now lives with me off campus and his name is Nalu. I like to do lot of activities with my dog and my roommates, whether it is indoor or outdoor. 

I have had some experience with technology in an educational setting when I was in high school. I took a video production class for four years at my high school where I learned to use programs like Premier Pro and Photoshop. I know how to use Microsoft applications to an extent, but was never taught how to use them in an educational setting. I used programs everyday in my past education, but I only knew how to use them for basic tasks such as essays and homework. 

Some personal learning networks I use to support my learning needs and goals include my family, my planner, my room, my phone and my laptop.  Each of these personal learning networks assist me in different ways. My family members are always there to support and guide me. My planner is my favorite organizational tool that I use because it allows me to keep track of all of my courses as well as other things going on in my life. My room helps my learning needs because it allows me to have a quiet place to study and do my homework with minimal distractions. My phone is a tool I use very frequently and it allows me to get in contact with many people without regard for physical distance. Finally, my laptop is another tool I use to access many things on the internet, organize courses, and complete work on.
