Growing up I always used
computers. The knowledge I had then was very rudimentary, all I knew was the
basics how to play Pre-installed games, view email, and chat. As I
progressed in age and in school I started learning more about technology and
incorporating it into my life. I used my cell phone as an alarm, my computer to
look up summaries on books, and recorders to record my professors and have
lectures at hand. The older I got the more I got out of technology and the
better I understood it.
I hope in this class to
continue learning about technology and find new ways to help it improve my
daily activities. I want to be able to learn efficient ways of synthesizing and
portraying information. I want to learn how to use word, and PowerPoint in
professional settings and how to use excel to display numerical data. My
overall goal is to become a better professional and use the resources that are
available to their full potential.
In my learning style
test I learned that on some categories I am well balanced and in others I lean
a little more to specific areas. In the visual and verbal category of learning
I am pretty centered but leaning a little towards the visual learning. Which I
think is important because next time I am studying and do not understand something
I can look for diagrams and see if that helps me progress. The test also
indicated that although I am a reflective learner I am pretty well balanced
between reflective and active learning. Now as I study for this course and my
other courses I will make sure to go over things multiple times since I know
now I learn best reviewing things multiple times.
Excellent post, Henry! Your reflection about your learning styles questionnaire is very insightful. I'm glad you were able to understand more about yourself as a learner.
