Editor's Notes
- I wanted to take this class because it seemed interesting when I saw the name of the section. I wanted to know how I could learn with my iPod but ended up learning about technologies I didn’t really know much about before. I had heard about this class before and I needed another class so I took this one.
- My learning preferences where shifted towards: Active, Sensory, Visual, and Global learning styles. I agreed to these assessments somewhat but didn’t think that they were set in stone. The results made me want to work on my strengths more and also improving my weaknesses.
- I feel that learning preferences are good to know so that you can know your how your mind currently learns best. Then by knowing that you can either focus on those preferences and build on or change them. However, I also think that it depends on how each person takes these results because something they are doing now could be working for them and they might not want to change that.
- At the beginning of the class I chose the pathway of Learning Warrior. I chose this because I wanted to learn about new technologies and I wasn’t that familiar with a lot of the technology that was being taught. I also felt that this was the best for me because I could learn at my own pace and the name of the path was pretty cool.
- I believe the activities that I did helped me work through the learning pathway because I learned a lot of new tools that I could use in and after school. Things like podcasts, iPhone and tablets, screen casting were pretty new to me so I was able to adapt some of these things into my everyday life. Doing this improved my awareness of how to utilize tools that were available to me.
- The top three technologies in my opinion were Podcasts, Gaming MMOGs, and Social Networking. Podcasts are #1 because you can use them anywhere you go such as going to work, school, gym, out for a walk, etc. Gaming MMOGS are #2 because games can help you become a master strategist in tackling problems if you apply concepts from the game. Then Social Networking is my #3 because I learned that you can connect yourself to the world and there is useful information about and for learning new subjects.
- Learning these technologies was fun at times and confusing at other times, but after just following the steps learning other technologies would become easier. At the beginning I was stuck on Social Bookmarking then after I broke the instructions down sequentially, I was able to learn other technologies like Screen casting. I think it was important to take the quizzes too because I remembered more information from them than some of the presentations.
- By following the metacognition tips I started to sleep and exercise more often that resulted in me being able to focus more in class. As a result my grades improved slightly, so I think if I keep it up my grades should improve drastically.
- I plan on using what I learned in this class next semester since I think that I can earn better grades from learning about myself as well as the tools available to me. Learning technologies like social bookmarking, microblogs,etc. will allow me to stay organized at another level.
- My experience with picking the path of a Learning Warrior and this class in general was good. The quests taught me a lot and I was able to learn a lot about myself. If there was one thing I wish was improved was the time length of the quiz. I wish the quiz had more questions because I learned well from them. But still an awesome class.
