I feel like I have a lot of prior experience in technologies, in grades 6-8 I was in an intense magnet for computer technologies where I learned how to type and how to use programs such as C++. I also went to a high school called MAST Academy, Mast standing for Maritime and Science Technology. For grades 9-12 we were required to use technology in at least three classes per year each student was required to have a computer or laptop, there were also laptops given to each student during the school day. I am proficient in all Microsoft Office programs and applications. Also i'm always on Facebook or something and I hook all the electronics in my apartment if that counts for anything.
In this class I would hope to do a better job at what I already know. I know alot about computers and hope by taking this class i can learn to fine tune it to my specific field. I hope to have fun while doing homework, and be excited about coming to class from what I have seen so far I don't think that will be a big problem. I love computers and I think all together this class should be a lot of fun. As a teacher, I know that technology in all forms will play a large role in my classroom, if it is available.
I feel like the interpretation of my learning styles from the Learning Styles Questionnaire was extremely accurate. There are a lot of different ways I feel comfortable learning. I feel like balance it said I had between Active and Reflective where correct because although I am an active learner and like to be involved in classroom activities, when I study to retain information like in the reflexive description I have to write little summaries of notes I have already taken to retain information. Also, the balance between Visual and Verbal, I have a photographic memory, I remember everything in pictures but i also have keywords that accompany these pictures in my mind, so I felt that this was also very accurate.
