2) At the beginning of the class when I first took the learning preferences survey my scores were
reflective: 5, sensory: 3, verbal: 5, and sequential: 3. At the end of the class my thoughts on my learning
preferences have remained relatively the same. I still don’t have a strong preference for one style over
another, and I don’t have too much difficulty in areas of learning that are not my preferred style. I know
I am still a reflective learner because I like to go at my own pace and take time on my own to think about
new information before talking about it. In all of my classes I benefit from verbal stimulation, by having
teachers explaining orally to me directions.
3) After taking this course, we learned a great deal about learning preferences and how
different styles of learning affects how you take in and understand information. We now are more
aware of all the different styles of learning and the things we can do to become a better learner in a
different style if our own preference is not an option. For example, in a classroom setting to simply ask
the teacher if he or she can provide a visual while explaining something if we are visual learners to help
us understand the material.

4) I chose learning warrior at the beginning of the class because I wanted to learn more about
fewer technologies. I had just gotten an iPhone at the time and was hoping that I would get insightful
information about all of its capabilities. I definitely broadened my knowledge of mobile technologies
such as iPads and tablets. I learned how these technologies are being integrated into the classroom and
all of their capabilities that can be used towards learning. I never changed my pathway because I was
content with the one I chose. I also chose the learning warrior because I also wanted to learn more
about fewer technologies rather than a broad understanding of many technologies. I feel like I learned
many useful tips about how to use an iPad as a tool other than to play games. I also did not change my
pathway because i prefer to learn more and grasp overall knowledge of one technology, rather than
know a little bit about many different technologies.

5) The quiz on mobile technology such iPads, and tablets provided useful information on how to
use these technologies to learn because in order to answer the questions, we had to read the power
point and additional materials that provided helpful information. The powerpoint was helpful in giving
an over view of each of the technologies and their basic functions, whereas the supplemental material
including articles and studies provided examples of how these technologies are used and statistics about
the.We got a broader understanding and deeper understanding by taking the quiz and answering
specific questions.
6) The technology quest on iPads and tablets helped me explore learning because they have similar

2. apps to the iPhone. There are a wide range of apps available for learning that I researched and utilized
throughout this semester that provided options for different styles of learning. Obviously a lot of these
apps have a visual component with diagrams and pictures. But some of themalso have an auditory
component, where it uses either sound effects or simply reads the text on the screen. This is helpful for
studying while driving or even playing it in my headphones on public transportation because I get
motion sickness while I read in a moving vehicle. The technology quest on iPads helped me to work
better with my learning preference because I was able to find graphs and picture representations of
things that I was actually studying in other classes.

7) The mobile technology that interested us the most as a learning tool was iPods because we
actually have iPods and were interested in how it functions as a learning tool. This was also the
technology that surprised us the most, because like I said weboth have iPods and never thought about
using it as a mobile tool. Similarly, because of the iPods size it doesn’t seem as practical as maybe an
iPad which is larger and has a keyboard. The iPod is convenient to take anywhere, however the size is
not the most ideal as a device to learn on. We would like to explore iPhone further as a tool for learning
because we also both have iPhone’s which are on us at all times and it would be convenient for on-the-
go purposes.
We both agreed thatthe iPods worked for our learning preferences partly because we both do
not have iPads as an option to use. The iPod has the capability to provide many recourses for learning
depending on your individual learning style. For example, being apple to download a flashcard app was
great for on the go memorizing. This particular app also had an audio option to say the words aloud
which was great for verbal learners as well.
8) This class provided many recourses for us to utilize after this class. Being able to use our iPads
and iPhones while be helpful to access useful information at a job or outside of school. Now that we
have a greater understanding of our learning preferences we can accommodate that in the work setting,
as well as choose apps that are appropriate for our styles. There are a range of sites that offer
information on an infinite amount of topics that can be accessed on-the-go with an iPod or iPhone.
There are multiple mobile technologies that can be used for non-learning purposes, such as games,
and social networking sites. We will continue to use Facebook and Twitter on our phones because they
serve many purposes such as connecting with friends. However, having these apps on our phones can
be very distracting from school work, therefore we will try to use them less, rather than avoid them
completely.
