What really motivated me to take this class was the
fact that I’ve never been too good with technology. I
realize that in today’s learning and job environment
it is very important to be technologically literate. It
also intrigued me have a class which would help
me do better in my other classes.

4.  According
to the learning preference survey I
took , it confirmed to me that I tend to be a
strong active and visual learner. This means I
learn better through interactive learning. When
it comes to sensing or intuitive and sequential
or global learner, the results showed me that I
was very balanced in both. Therefore it proved
that I had many advantages because I could
learn through a variety of methods.

5.  Make
you aware of your strengths in learning
 Make you aware of your weaknesses in learning
 Helps you to develop a better study habit

7. I chose the learning warrior as my pathway.
The learning warrior is was designed for
personal growth which is what I was
interested in. I wanted to gain deeper
understanding of certain technologies, at my
own pace. I wanted to do the work
independently. I felt that by using this
pathway and gaining better understanding of
technology I could use it for learning and
apple it to my other courses as well as future
jobs. This would help me with personal
growth.

The activities I participated in were definitely
successful in contributing to my understanding of
different technologies on a deeper level. This was
especially true when I would do the level 1 quizzes,
or the level 3 activities ( applying the concept to my
daily life). However I think what really contributed
to my learning was the open forums, usually the level
2 activities. Being able to share ideas with other
students and getting feedback on my work, was
helpful in me understanding concepts better. This is
probably because I am an active learner and really
benefit from getting ideas from other people. Thus I
wish I had followed the learning guide as my
pathway, because the collaborative activities
associated with that pathway would have been very
beneficial for my learning.

9. 
The first technology I explored was ipods/iphones. This was convenient
simple for me because I own an iphone and know how to use it. Through
this technology it helped me with my personal development, such as
creating an organize planner on my calendar. I also downloaded few apps
that help me with taking quizzes for my other classes, and fitness apps
that help my physiological learning factors.

the second technology I took a lot of interest in was micorblogs. This technology not
only helped me with self development but also helped me through collaborative
learning strategies. I used this technology to explore twitter and tumblr a lot more.
By applying this learning in my RPT 220 course, I was really able to accommodate
my active and visual learning styles.

The third technology I decided to explore for learning was social networking.
Although this wasn’t corresponding with my learning warrior pathway I still chose
this activity because I felt like it would really help me network with others and
enhance my learning styles. I realized how much it accommodated my active
learning preference after learning all the different methods of using social
networking. I applied the concept to my history class, and made a facebook group,
so we can share ideas and ask question in more comfortable environment. This
method I believe has helped me the most with learning.

10. 
After learning about physiological factors of
learning, I realized how important my well-being
was to my learning practices. I have since taken
the initiative to make some changes in my habits
concerning my diet, sleep and exercise. Using
my iphone to organize my planner, I now plan
out my weekly goals. I set aside time for
exercise, and adequate sleep. I have also
planned to eat healthier. These factors play a
huge role my energy level and memorizing
abilities. I’ve realized in the short time that I’ve
made these changes , how much more energy
and focus I have in my classes.

11. 
After this semester I fully plan on using what I’ve
learned in ITECH 299 to better enhance my
learning skills in my future courses as well as
career paths. Now that I have more
understanding of different apps and websites, I
will use them for my learning preferences. I will
also develop study habits which will better
correspond with my learning skills. Along with
using technology for my learning I will also work
on my physiological self-development because if
I’m healthy then I learn better. The technology
that I will definitely be using more of is social
networking, because I think so far it has
benefited me the most in my learning
capabilities.

12. I
think as a learning warrior I was really able
to develop personal growth through the
technologies I chose to explore. I learned a
lot about myself , and my learning strengths
through my learning preference survey, and
was therefore able to utilize those strengths
throughout the semester. Although layout of
the class seemed a bit confusing in the
beginning, but the open forum really helped
whenever I had any questions. I have been
able to use technology in so many ways to
enhance my learning skills. I definitely
enjoyed this class.
