0- The beginning
Prior Experience
My relationship with technology is a love hate relationship. I love it, but it hates me. I use technology on a daily basis, maybe even too much. But without fail I feel like every time I use technology for something important I mess it up. As an avid smart phone user, I use social media on a daily basis. Also being a college student I am on my laptop every day using the internet, word, power point, and such. I have always been an apple product type of girl and thoroughly enjoy using my macbook and iPhone. In high school I was on the yearbook staff and became familiar (keep in mind I still have a love hate relationship) with In-design and Adobe Photoshop.
My hopes
In this class I hope to be more proficient in the uses of technology. I think that technology hates me so I would like to develop a better relationship in that aspect. Also when it comes to powerpoint and word I know most of the basics but I do not take advantage of all that these programs have to offer. In the future I would love to be a teacher and in taking this class I hope to learn how, as a future teacher, I can fully take advantage of the greatness that is technology.
Learning Styles
The results of this learning styles test did not surprise me too much. I have always known that I am predominately visual learner. In my classes, I have always struggled with teachers and professors that do not use visuals and are just "lecturers". Looking back on my educational career I see that the one class that I retained the most information in, was my junior year of high school American history class. This is due to the fact that my teacher drew pictures on the board, made extremely visual timelines and made the information easy for me personally to remember. I am very sensory and visually motivated in everything that I do. All in all I am more of a practical thinker and learner, I enjoy visuals, trying things out, and "doing". All of these things ring true in these results!

Computers can behave like a female dog, no doubt! There are a couple of tricks to keep from crying. Two keystrokes are the first line of defense: cntl (apple)+S - save, and cntl(apple)+Z - undo. When in doubt, go to Google or YouTube. Some smart and generous person has posted how to fix just about anything that ails you.
