I have grown up using technology. My generation is the generation whose world seems to revolve around technology. Though I think of myself as someone who is somewhat good with technology, I would not say that I am totally knowledgeable about meaningful things, such as Excel and PowerPoint. I am very familiar with my cell phone and social media, but when it comes to navigating on a computer, I am not always very tech savvy. I took a computer literacy class my freshman year but after I learned the lessons for the assignments, I tended to forget everything I had just learned because I did not use these skills after the assignment was turned in.
I hope what I learn from this class will be valuable information that I can use for the future. I want to learn things that are useful in my everyday life and not things that I will forget about as soon as the assignments are submitted. I also hope to gain more of an appreciation for technology after this class. I feel that many people in this generation tend to take advantage of technology and all the advances we have made, but I hope after this class, the knowledge I have gained will make me appreciate the class more.
What I learned from my results of the Learning Styles Questionnaire is that I tend to be a more visual and sensing learner. I am fairly balanced in both active and reflective learning and also sequential and global learning. As the results showed, I think that I am a good balance between active and reflective learning because I don't like to necessarily jump into something and figure it out from there, but I also don't like dwelling on one specific topic and then getting caught up in that one topic. I like to fully understand a concept but not dwell on it to the point of missing other things. In some ways I agree with the fact that I am a sensing learner. Typically I like to solve problems without complications and surprises. I really enjoy math because I like that there is a set way of doing things, but what I don't agree with is the fact that I am not necessarily good at memorizing things. I do agree that I am more of a visual learner because when I am in a lecture, I am not as good at grasping the information than when I see graphs and pictures. The results show that I am a balance between global and sequential learner which surprised me because I would have thought that my love for math would have made me more of a sequential learner.
