0-EMELearningStyles

 I have taken a computer fluency course, so I feel fairly comfortable with using technology. However, there are plenty of areas of technology that I am clueless about. For example, I have worked in Excel a little bit but I have a lot of room for improvement. Also, I have no experience designing web pages.

In this class, I hope to expand my knowledge of technology and become more comfortable using various programs (as mentioned above). I am excited to learn how I can incorporate what I learn, not only in my future career as a teacher, but also in my present life as a college student. The skills I learn will hopefully prepare me for the many papers, projects, and presentations that I will be assigned during my time at Florida State University.


I was not surprised with my result  as an active learner. I have always preferred hands-on activities and working with others on projects. Being a sensitive learner explains why I have always enjoyed math and science courses. These subjects contain facts and make me feel safe and confident with my answers. I am pretty balanced between visual and verbal learning styles, either teaching style is good with me, although I like having text attached to a picture or a graph to help me understand what it means or how it relates to the topic. I thought that my results would show a higher number towards the sequential learning style. I get overwhelmed if things are not going in order or if clear steps are not given. Before taking this test, I would have guessed to have greater than a 7 towards the sequential learning style.

  1. I hope this course will help you with future college course work as well. I am always amazed how the more I learn about a program for one purpose helps me improve in all uses. I really hope you leave with a sound understanding of what constitutes a good power point presentation. Most college PP's (student and instructor alike) stink. Have fun!
