16. Instructors Bio
 I started learning about personal computers in 1986 when my 9
year career ended at Control Data Corporation. I redirected my
career into the drafting field only to find out that it was being
invaded by CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) also know as
Computer Aided Drafting and Design and proceeded to enhance
my skills in the CAD world.
 After three years in the industry, I was invited to teach at the very
school that started me in that direction. I started out on board
drafting but eventually the boards were out and an all CAD
program was in.
 It was to my benefit to reacquaint myself to my own educational
needs, so, I proceeded to get my BS Degree in Technical
Management with a concentration in Computer Information
Systems. Here I am again, improving, gaining, and growing in
knowledge, learning, and teaching and trying to complete a
Master of Arts in Teaching & Learning with Technology.
 You can find this information and more at my blogger
(http://jrdidntdoit.blogspot.com/)
Micro-Guidance Guide Book My Personal Learning Style 16

17. My Personal Learning Style
 From all my experience I’ve found one thing to be obvious and
necessary, education. Because of all my experiences and career
background with Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), it shows that I
am a visual learner. This also holds true to most of the students
I’ve taught in the last 20 years. The ones that are the most
successful in the CAD field, are the ones that are more visual,
creative, more intuitive, and understand sequential processing as
an important aspect of their lives and the career they’re in.
 From my experiences with the changes, the growing and ever-
changing generations, education has taken many twists and turns
in order to accommodate each and every type of generation.
Through the recent years, I’ve noticed more kinesthetic type
learners; they cannot sit still for very long, are not great at
spelling, handwriting is atrocious, likes to study with loud music
on, likes adventure books and movies, and is fidgety during
lectures for the most part. Because of the field I have been in,
there have been some improvements but the people in this world
are moving fast, maybe to fast.
Micro-Guidance Instructors Bio 17

18. More of my personal learning style
 With this class, sometimes jumping back a little bit and
reflecting on what I’ve done will help me to improve and
move on. In the case of a visual learner, you might find it
useful to write things down, make images in your mind,
work with colors, and highlight things in different colors.
Putting things in an outline or using charts and graphs
should help keep things organized.
 In a resent test, my results in the learning styles where as
follows; I am balanced with the two dimensions of concrete
and abstract, sensing and intuitive, and sequential and
global – all rated at a 3 on one side or the other on a linear
of -12 to +12, but I rated an 11 with visual versus verbal.
Very high in visual which means to me I may have trouble
with verbal instructions and listening skills which this
course should help to address for those of you that are in
the same boat.
