      Hi, my name is Dailizza Arocha and I am currently a sophomore majoring in English Education. I moved to Tallahassee last summer through the CARE program here at FSU. I was born and raised in Miami, Florida and I am Cuban. My hobbies include fishing, going out with friends, and ice-skating.      While being in an educational setting, I noticed that teachers tend to use PowerPoint very frequently to deliver their lessons. They also tend to utilize smartboards mostly in math classes.      What I hope to learn in this class is how to properly use technology for educational purposes.
