The student took the class because it seemed interesting when they saw the name. They wanted to learn how to use their iPod for learning but ended up learning about new technologies. They chose the Learning Warrior path because they wanted to learn new technologies and weren't familiar with many of the technologies being taught. They believe the activities helped them work through the path by learning tools like podcasts, iPads, and screen casting that they were able to use in and after school.

1. 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.
2. Learning Preferences
My learning
preferences were 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.
3. Thoughts on Learning Preferences
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.
4. Learning Pathways
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.
5. Working on the Learning Pathway
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.
6. Top Three Technologies
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.
7. Investigating the use of
different technologies for
learning
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.
8. 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 never knew how
important your body was to
learning until this class.
Integrated knowledge
of the physiological
factors or aspects of
learning into your
personal learning
practices
9. How you will use what you learned in this class after this semester
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.
10. 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.
