Blog 0 - First Post

Although we are in the age of technology, I am not super tech savvy. In the past I began to write a blog however, I had trouble with it and often found my self becoming frustrated with the fact it wouldn't turn out the way I liked it, or was just too difficult. I am on various social media platforms and find myself easily navigating across them. I also have learned how to navigate and use different Microsoft programs being most proficient in Word and PowerPoint. I have learned how to use excel, however may have trouble with it as well. Since Elementary School I have been introduced to Promethean Boards (Smart Boards) so I am able to work and use them efficiently.

In this course I hope to become proficient in different platforms that I do not know how to use efficiently. I also hope to gain a better understanding on technology and how I can efficiently use it in my future classroom. I also hope to learn different skills and tricks to make technology easier and useful. In this course I hope to learn different things that will allow my future classroom to grow and advance.

Before I took the learning styles quiz, I knew that I was a visual learner. However, this quiz allowed to learn and see what my different styles of learning are and how much broader they are than just being a visual learner. I learned that I am an active learner and must be constantly trying new things and discovering different ways to do things in order to learn efficiently. I also learned that I am a global learner and need to see the big picture to truly understand the subjects I am learning. I learned that I am pretty balanced between being a sensing and intuitive learner. This quiz will help me in the future in my future courses as well as this one.
