Hey Y'all!

My name is A.J Klune and I am a performer and education major at Florida State University. I love music and I play the euphonium and that is a very large part of who I am as a person. The moment I decided to play the euphonium I call my "love at first sight moment" which if any title could show its emotional depth I don't think there could be anything better. If anyone asked me to describe myself in only a few words I believe my answer every time would definitely be short, band, and my truck. Simple yet very interesting, at least in my own opinion.

For my past experience with educational technology I have used lots of soft ware such as Microsoft word, PowerPoint, and excel. As well as basic websites such as canvas, google classroom ,and a software called PowerSchool. These are basically software websites that I have all of my class materials and assignments, as well as grades and instructor information if ever needed. I have also used websites that enhance learning with educational games or flashcards to help learn material. One that I still use in college would be Quizlet. Others would be from years ago like Mathway, and other game based learning websites.

For my Personal Learning networks I personally really like to utilize the people around me with similar skills and knowledge to help grow in my own. Facebook is also a heavily used resource because it give me a way to learn from people who are not in the same area as I am, such as other bands at other universities, or even professional ensembles that I can watch or listen to. So if my ensemble is playing a certain piece I can find a recording of another professional ensemble who has played the same piece and I can listen to how each of the parts play into each other and how the piece overall sounds so I can go and practice and know which techniques I need to use and also shape my own interpretation of the piece.
