Most of my experiences with technology have not been formal, and have mutated to what I have learned from others over the years. I took formal class in 6th grade teaching microsoft powerpoint, word, and excel so I know how to do that but it has been a while. In 7th grade I was in a computer class which consisted of teaching us how to type, so I am familiar with the basics of computer knowledge. I know how to work the internet rather well after being exposed to it for so long, I know how to look up sources and also do leisurely activities. I know how to set up and change items on facebook and myspace and I'm also familiar with other web browsers and use google frequently. I have had classes on proper uses for technology although after all this time I may be a little rusty. I know how to use the computer for what I need, but I know there is so much more out there to learn about.
I hope to learn about different ways to use the internet, and do different things than I already have been exposed to. I want to be able to expand from using the micrsoft office items and learn more about the internet itself, as in how to manuever it and being able to get the most out of it. Whether by designing webpages or learning how to make things on the internet, I hope to obtain skills that will help me not just in the teaching field but obtain life skills as well.
Learning Styles:
Based upon today, I have learned about my learning style and what environments are more suitable for me to learn and benefit from. I have a strong active learning style which means I benefit from more hands on work, and like group work, while lectures and thinking quietly are not things I am apt to do. I'm fairly balanced between sensing and intuitive learners, with a small lean towards the sensing side. I am more comfortable learning facts as opposed to being intuitive, but as the results show I am balanced and not too far one way to say that I am not balanced with both sides. I am a strongly visual learner, benefitting most from pictures, graphs, and demonstrations, while lectures and verbal learning with words and spoken explanations do not help my learning. This is very acurate because I like to learn hands on as said before and I like to actively do things and see things so that I know and understand better. Lastly, I am more of a sequential learner than a global learner- I like to see the connections and understand things in a logical order as opposed to seeing the big picture and figuring out the individual parts. I like to see how everything works and why it works in a certain order.
