Like most college students, I have lots of experience with technology. Throughout high school I took a wide range of technology classes and became very involved in a technology based club called FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). I applied everything that I learned throughout my school courses to get certifications in PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Adobe Dreamweaver. While all of this looks great on paper, I am pretty rusty in many of these areas because I don't use them in my day-to-day life. I use technology most often in the form of social media. I take great pride in my Instagram account, and like most other teenage girls, have put forth hours of effort to come up with cute and clever captions. I also don't know how I would survive without my Facebook account because all of the information I need to know for my sorority is posted on the AOII Facebook group. I use technology daily, and maybe even too much, because of the numerous social media apps at my fingertips (literally).
I'm most excited about this class and I'm looking forward to all of the technology tools that I will learn. I never pictured myself as a teacher that would heavily implement technology in the classroom, but like it or not that is how education, and the world as a whole, is evolving. I'm excited to learn how I can incorporate all of the super cool technology tools in the classroom effectively.
Today I learned a little more about my learning style. I was very surprised that I was well-balanced between being an active learner and a reflective learner, because I have always seen myself as being very reflective. The results below have given me a new perspective on my learning styles and have shown me that my learning style has changed a lot since becoming a college student,
You have such a strong tech background. Even if you feel rusty, all that tech experience gives you an edge in figuring out new skills. Push yourself and have fun.
