Blog Post #0

Hi!
In this first blog post I'm going to talk a little on my previous experience with technology. My previous experience with technology is very slim. I've always struggled with Excel and I say the most I know about technology is how to upload my music from my computer to my Iphone. I've owned a Mac for many years and in my opinion it is one of the simpler computers out there. I only ever use it to write essays for class, watch netflix, play tetris, etc.
I think I will learn a lot from this class. Hopefully, I will become proficient in Excel, Word, and Powerpoint. I don't know much technological terminology, but I think this class will also help me figure that out!
When I took the Learning Style Questionnaire these were my results:

The first row shows that I learn better when I am allowed to think about the material and that I usually prefer to learn alone.
The second row shows that I like learning more conceptual ideas rather than hard facts and data. I can see why this is true. I do have a passion for literature which would translate to me enjoying theories and ideas.
The third row shows that I definitely retain information better when it is explained to me and when it is written. Like I said I do read a lot more than I watch T.V so this seems pretty accurate.
The final row shows that I like to learn things step by step. I don't really like to learn bits and pieces at a time, or jumping around from beginning to end. I like to see how things evolve and how it works in a nice process.
