2.  At the beginning of the class when I took the learning
preference survey my results were active - 1, sensing
- 7, visual - 3, and sequential - 5. By the end of this
class I think my learning preference hasn’t changed
much. I’m still very much a visual learner, I feel that
I learn better by seeing a visual, like a picture or
charts. I have realized that I’m not much of a verbal
learner, I can’t seem to keep up with verbal
instructions. After this class, I have realized how
different learning styles can help me learn better and
be a better student. I think that knowing my own
learning preference has helped me understand how
to become successful in my personal learning.
Knowing my learning preference, I can tailor my
study habits to what helps me learn better.

3.  Thelearning pathway I chose at the
beginning of the class was a learning sage. I
wanted to get new knowledge of new
technologies. I wanted to learn new ways
that different technologies could help me in
my learning. My learning pathway did change
somewhat. I wanted to learn how to use
specific technologies to help me do better in
my other courses this semester.

4.  The podcast activity and microbloging
activity has helped me learn. I am able to
download podcasts and put them on my ipod
and take it to go so that I could learn on my
commute and when I’m away from a
computer. I’ve learned that with an ipod
touch I could download certain apps like for
flashcards to help me learn. Having
flashcards on my ipod touch is very
convenient because I carry that with me
everywhere and I can study anywhere and
everywhere.

5.  In the ipods and mp3s quest helped me learn by allowing me to listen to lectures on
the go. I am able to download apps to my ipod touch to help my learning. I can also
listen to podcasts if I want to learn more. I was also able to use my ipod touch as a
planner/calendar. This helped me stay on track of when I have midterms, when
papers are due and what days I have to go volunteer. I am also able to see when I’m
free to meet up with classmates to form study groups. Because I’m a visual learner I
am able to see a whole calandar of when I am free and help me stay organized.
 The ipads and tablets quest didn’t really help me learn much and isn’t really
relevant to my learning because I don’t own either one of those but I have learned
that having them does make learning easier and more fun. Just like with an ipad
touch, I would be able to download apps to help me learn. And because I’m a visual
learner, I feel that have some fun learning games could help me learn better.
 I was able to use microblogs for my learning by using twitter and searching for
treading subjects about geology to help me learn more about the earth to go along
with what I’m learning in my geology class. Because on twitter the texts are 140
characters or less I am able to go through more posts faster and chose which to read
and which wouldn’t be very helpful for me. This helps me learn because I’m a
sensing learner and I like to look for the facts and I am able to do so by reading
some of the tweets that would lead me to articles.

6.  The ipod and mp3s interested me the most as mobile
technologies. I didn’t know that I could use an ipod to learn and
because I have an ipod, I thought it would be a good way to put it
in good use other than for using it for just listening to music. I
have learned that there are many free podcasts about many
different subjects that I could download and use along with what
I’m learning in class. I’ve also learned that I could download a
flashcard app to my ipod touch to help with my learning.
 The mobile technology that worked best for me is my ipod touch.
I am able to stay organized by using it as a planner organizer. I
am also able to listen to educational podcasts on there, download
apps, and fun educational games to help me learn better. I like
that I am able to learn when I’m on the go. Also if there is wifi, I
am able to access ilearn from my itouch and i could look up my
assignments when I’m not at home or near a computer. I also
won’t have to turn on a computer just to check on an
assignment, it helps me save some time.

7.  After this semester and after this class I think I would be able to use my
ipod touch to learn a new language. I have learned from this class that
there are some podcasts that could teach you a new language. I could
download some learning language podcasts and listen to them during my
free time and hopefully pick up a new language for fun. Although I’m
much of a verbal learner, I believe that when I hear something enough
times I’ll eventually learn it. And because I won’t be learning a new
language for school, I can take my time and learn the language at my
own pace.
 I will continue using my ipod touch for learning after this class. I probably
wouldn’t be able to use this at a job since most places don’t allow
employees to be using their ipods or even most electronics on the job. If
I had an ipad though, I could probably use it with the kids at the school I
volunteer at. I could download some educational games to help them
learn. I will continue using my ipod touch and microblogs for non learning
purposes after this class. I enjoy looking through tumblr and seeing
photos of different places and food that people blog and reblog. There
aren’t any mobile technologies that I will avoid using after this class
because I think that they can all be useful in my learning.
