My Experience with Technology
I do not have a lot of experience using technology. Working on projects that require the use of technology always leads to a lot of stress and difficulty for me. Other than the bare basics of Power point, Word, and excel I am absolutely useless when it comes to using technology. I rely a lot on my friends to help me when it comes to using technology. Up until high school I was home schooled, so I never really learned how to use technology to make presentations and in the classroom until I was in my teens.
What I Hope to Learn Through This Class
I am really excited to learn about technology and how to use it correctly in the classroom. Not only will this class help me on my way to becoming an amazing teacher able to balance technology and learning in the classroom, but it will also help me in my day to day life taking classes. There are so many things I just have no idea how to do on the computer and I cannot wait. Hopefully after taking this class I won't be so confused when I hear professors or friends talking about things to do for projects on the computer.
My Personal Learning Style
According to the learning style test I took, I am a global and visual learner. I learn best through visuals and as a whole. I supposed to grasp larger concepts randomly and without seeing how they relate until I magically get it. I do not necessarily think that is true. I personally believe I learn best through visual and verbal learning.
Don't worry about your tech uncertainties. The more you do on computers, and the more you trouble shoot, the faster you will learn. We didn't even have the World Wide Web and graphical interfaces when I was in high school, (I know, dinosaur-age). Just have fun. And ask your neighbors for help liberally.
