learning blog

My Prior Experience Using Technology:
I do not have much experience with technology. I grew up in a household with no internet and an old computer that we only used to type papers. Yes, that means no AIM or e-mail. We never thought it was important to have the latest technology and could not afford it anyways. I took a computers for business majors course last semester but only made it to a few lectures and my recitation teacher had such a heavy accent that i could not understand her. So needless to say, I learned nothing.

I Hope To Learn:
I hope to learn teaching techniques in this class. I am not sure what to expect but it is a required course so i think i will learn a lot. I do not have microsoft office on my computer right now so hopefully I will learn how to get my act together and install it so i can get a good grade. Maybe i will learn how to type better from typing these blogs!!

My Learning Style:
From the survey results i learned that I am more of an active, intuitive, visual, and global learner than a reflective , sensing, verbal, and sequential. Many times I can see myself as being both of these depending on what the material is and what kind of mood im in. i have always been more of a visual learner when it comes to my notes and pictures i draw in them to help me remember but I like it when directions are written out for me. i also like the more theory and relationship learning about life but i love facts and statistics when it comes to sports.
