Self Introduction



Hey Everyone!!! Welcome to my blog, it's great to finally meet all of you! My name is Jasmin Floyd and I look forward to working with you this semester. 

My favorite technology gadget is definitely my phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3. With all the gaming apps, access to music, hot spot, alarm clock, camera, planner, S beam, phone features, and social networks, jam packed into a device the size of my palm- not only do I have mostly everything I need right at my fingertips, I have wayyy more space in purse! Aside from all its awesome features to be occupied with, this gadget is my lifeline. I use my Galaxy to stay organized and connected. 

I really enjoy face-to-face classes more than online classes because of its opportunity for interaction, yet with the scenario based learning and the opportunity to work in online groups (which is a first for me) I'm really curious and excited about learning in this class. Two skills i offer as a group member are that I'm a very hard worker, I strive to complete the tasks at hand promptly and efficiently, and I'm also very supportive and willing to lend a helping hand.


Here's a link to a video clip that was collaborated by the MacArthur foundation, expressing their reasons for incorporating digital media into the learning environment of the twenty-first century learner.
