Technology has been a big part of my life, both in and out of school. Technology is something that is usually easy for me to figure out. During my elementary school years, I took computer classes in which I would learn where all the keys were on the keyboard and was challenged to type as fast as possible without making mistakes. Also, during my senior year of high school I took an AP Computer Science course where I learned computer coding. Besides these few classes, I have used laptops and desktops to help guide me through my educational life. Also, it has become very easy to keep up with old friends through technology and social media.
Paragraph 2:
During this class, I hope to gain more experience in the different types of computer systems, such as Excel and Word. With these different computer systems, I hope I will be able to instruct my future students in different ways that keeps them interested in learning the lesson. With new technology coming out daily, I hope this class will keep me up-to-date on the new ideas on teaching.
Paragraph 3:
Through this questionnaire, I was able to learn more about myself and the learning styles that I prefer. I am definitely someone that likes to be both an active and a reflective learner, depending on the subject of the class. This is shown through the balanced scale shown below. I am not surprised from the results of being a sensing and a visual learner. I consider myself a sensing learner because I would rather have facts thrown at me than have to connect different ideas; I also need visual aids for me to draw connections to certain facts, which is hard in college with constant lecturing and listening. I am very surprised by the result of the sequential and global learning styles because I am very into step by step processes and dislike when teachers do not follow an outline of what is going on. Overall, the results of this questionnaire have shown what I could work on and which styles to try to balance more, in order to become a more successful student and future teacher.
