#0 Welcome! Technology and Learning Styles



About Me

I have some experience with Word, Excel and Powerpoint from assignments I had to do in high school and college. I feel the most comfortable with Word because it is something I use almost every day. I feel the least comfortable with Excel because I have not had to use it often.
Last year, I started learning HTML for fun, though I still only know how to do some very basic web design. While I enjoy working with computers, I would not consider myself very tech savvy and often find myself asking friends (or Google) for help.



What I Hope To Learn

In this course, I hope to become more proficient in the programs I already know, as well as learn some new skills and programs. I am a prospective education major, so I am excited to take what I learn here into the classroom with me in the future.


Learning Styles




These learning style test results show that I am more of a reflective learner than an active learner, which I would agree with. I definitely need time to think about and process new information, and I prefer studying and working individually.
I also have a strong preference towards intuitive learning, which means that I like to look at the bigger picture and try to understand concepts instead of memorizing facts.

  1. Between Google and You Tube, we can fill in all kinds of gaps. Did you know that Lynda is free for FSU students?
