1. Technology has always been a big part of my life. In middle school I took a typing class that was one of the most helpful classes I have ever taken. In high school, I took web design and other technologically based classes and always did well. I think that I am pretty competent in figuring out how to work a computer or other forms of technology. I enjoy making power point presentations because I can be creative. I have become the individual in my family that everyone asks for computer help. However, I can get frustrated by technology when it does not work.
2. In this class, I hope to learn more about excel. Out of all the office programs I tend to understand excel the least. I would also like to learn about more programs that I can utilize in the classroom. There are so many forms of technology that many people do not know about such as the websites used in today's class. I would like to learn how to utilize the technology I have access to in the best way possible. I would also like to learn about the impacts that technology has on our students today - both positively and negatively. I think the research done on technology through schools is very interesting and would like to learn more of that.
3. After taking the quiz about learning styles I learned that I utilize all the different strategies when I learn. Most of my scores were around the same number there was not one that was much higher than the others. Active learning had my highest score (only differing one point from the others) and that makes sense to me because I enjoy actively learning and explaining concepts. I enjoy the classes where the teacher does more than just read from their lectures. Whenever I need help understanding a concept I break it down and try to explain it out loud to attempt to teach it to myself.
