Prior Experiences Using Technology:

My experience with technology is relatively vast as I have grown up in a very technologically heavy period of time. I have a lot of experience with programs such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Prezzi, etc. which I have used for school assignments. I am also familiar with Canva which I have used to create flyers and social media posts for a marketing position with a non-profit organization. I also consistently use various social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat.

What I Hope to Learn:

With my time in EME2040, I would really like to learn how technology can benefit students in their efforts to learn new information. I think that technology can be used in many creative ways in the classroom that makes teaching easier and more effective. I am excited to learn some new ways to use technology to create a better learning environment that adheres to numerous learning styles to ensure every student benefits.

My Learning Style

According to this assessment, my learning style does not heavily lean one way or another. I only have a mild preference toward intuitive, global, and verbal. I was intrigued to find that I am more of a verbal learner, because I always thought of myself as a visual learner. These results were expected because many study styles work for me whether it is reading the textbook, watching videos, or using flashcards. The one place I had a moderate preference was for reflective rather than active learning.
