I have never taken a class that was devoted to computer literacy or learning how to use various computer programs. However, in different classes throughout middle and high school I used Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Prezi to complete projects and presentations. I have had mostly successful experiences with using technology for education.

I hope to learn how to become more comfortable and efficient using the computer for my schoolwork. I also am looking forward to learning about the various ways technology can be used in the classroom to teach, as I want to be a teacher. I think that this class will help me in the rest of my student career and in my teaching career in the future.

I found that my learning style is extremely varied. My results for the questionnaire show that I am just as much an active learner as I am a reflective learner, and that I am only a slightly better visual learner than I am a verbal learner. I found that I am a sequential learner, which does not surprise me because I was aware that when solving difficult problems or critically thinking I must take slow steps to reach a full understanding or solution. I find it easier to learn facts rather than think about theories or concepts, which is a reason I love history, and this learning styles questionnaire showed that by telling me that I am more of a sensing learner than an intuitive learner.

  1. You mention that you prefer sequential learning. I sometimes skip steps or go too quickly, not purposely. So please feel comfortable to speak up if I need to fill in the gaps.
