Prior to being enrolled in this course I have had several experiences dealing with technology. During my adolescent years I attended a computer magnet program while in middle school. At this school we learned how to type, use Microsoft programs, and the basics functions of computers. Moving along and transitioning to high school I attended a Technical School, where my focus was in Computer Networking through the CISCO Network Administrator Program. During these years my experience with computers grew. I was introduced with different concepts and devices such as Lan's, Wan's, Switches, etc. The overall goal was to learn how to build, breakdown, and facilitate an operational network for a small class room, or a company. Now in my college years my experience with technology deals with common things such as email, blackboard, and facebook.
During this semester, within this course I hope to learn or fine tune a lot of the previous things that I have learned. I would also like to learn new things which I am sure will be introduced through the semester as the course becomes more detailed. It is somewhat too early to completely list everything that I would like to gain from this course, however a better understanding, or a broader outlook on the technological advances that we have offered at our finger tips in this day and time will be what I am trying to gain fr0m the course.
After completing the Learning Styles assignment it supported my prior thoughts about how I classified my learning style. It showed that I am an active learner meaning that I like to be involved in group discussions, or study material with others in study groups. It also showed that I am a visual learner. I have an easier time remembering things if it I am shown material through charts, graphs, etc. I as lo can retain information easier if its talked about out loud, and can work through problems as long as it talked out. All in all this assignment was helpful although it just provided additional backing to what I already knew.
