0 Get To Know My Technology Background!

I have a basic understanding of technology. As a freshman in high school I took a course titled Introduction to Information Technology where I learned how to properly use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Illustrator. I also completed certification exams in these programs. Sophomore year of high school I completed a Digital Design course where we mainly worked with Photoshop. Sophomore year of high school through senior year I completed an accounting program where I became certified in the Quickbooks program. Besides formal classes that I have taken, my knowledge of technology does not extend past that of basic school assignments and social media.

Through this course, I hope to broaden my knowledge of technology and brush up on skills that I have forgotten. I also hope to learn vital skills to become the best teacher I can possibly be in the future. I would like to learn techniques to use technology in my future classroom and with my students to help their academic success.

Today, I learned that some of my computer skills are a bit rusty, but through the survey I found that I am a fairly visual learner. I am quite balanced when it comes to being an active and reflective learner. I have a moderate preference for being a sensing learner as opposed to being an intuitive learner. I have a distinct preference for visual learning rather than verbal learning. I would rather see charts than hear the results being read aloud. I also have a moderate preference for sequential learning instead of global learning.
