I have had very limited experience with technology. I took a class in middle school that introduced PowerPoint, excel, and Word to me. I also learned the proper way to type in that class. My experience from there consists of assigned school work and projects using these three programs. I am able to use these three with little issue but do not have an abundance of knowledge in reference to technology.
I hope to learn how to use these three programs and others more efficiently and with ease. I hope to take what I learn in this class and apply it to my future assignments and teaching structures. Technology is essential for teaching and would greatly benefit the learning environment. I am not especially tech savvy and hope to absorb as much information as I can.
I learned that I am an extreme visual learner. I benefit from pictures, diagrams, and other visual representations of the material. I do much better when I try something out as opposed to being verbally informed how to do something. I retain information better when it is discussed thoroughly in groups and I can participate in the application of what is learned. Also, I am a sequential learner in that I understand material better when presented in linear steps.
