Hello! My name is Devan and I am a Junior at FSU. I am majoring in Family and Child Sciences with a minor in Education. I play beach volleyball at FSU and in my spare time I like to spend time with my family and friends. I do not have a ton of experience with technology, but I am familiar with the basics. I have used Microsoft word and Powerpoint regularly in school, and I have used various apps on my phone. The apps that I use most are Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and my email. I am excited to be in this class and I am looking forward to learning about Diigo. I have never heard of Diigo before, so I am interested to find out what it is. I look forward to all of the useful and helpful apps and programs I will learn about this semester.
