 My prior experience with technology is limited to say the least. In high school, one of my worst subjects was our IT course. I find it kind of difficult to remember all of the small steps that go into using computers and other types of technology. To be honest, this kind of makes me dislike using technology. I'd rather send an email on my phone than on a computer. I do however love using smart boards, and find interactive technology pretty helpful when it comes to learning, and teaching.
   
  I hope this class can teach me to have a better relationship with technology, and to use it effectively. I want to learn to really appreciate all of the technological advances we have available as educators. I'm also interested in learning what programs I could use in the future to better convey information to my students. I also want to know if i actually like blogging because it is something I've always thought about doing.

         After taking the learning styles test, I realized that my learning style has not changed much over time. I took a similar style test in a previous psych class back home and got almost the same results. As far as visual and verbal learning, I feel that my preference is subject dependent. I fell pretty even on the scale because there are some situations when I really feel I need to see a visual. I find that linear subject matter is best learned through visuals in my case. More theoretic subjects i recall information better through conversations or debate more than anything else. I believe this is because I learn things intuitively.
