Learning styles

I finally got the links to work.

I am a very visual person. i have to have things written down for me so that I can see them in-front of me and remember it. Someone can talk to me forever, but if I am not in the right frame of mind or something like that I am not going to remember anything that was said, no matter how long the conversation lasts.
I also think I am pretty logical and solitary. I like to work more by myself than with others. I love to figure things out and put everything in its place, that is why I say I am logical...

Let's see how that actually turned out...
Your scores were:

Visual: 11
Aural: 5
Read/Write: 16
Kinesthetic: 12

I have a multimodal learning preference.

This assignment related to the NETS standard two, which again deals with working with your and your students' specific learning styles.

Test Questions

1. What are the learning styles?

there are 6 specific learning styles, they are as follows:
*Visual- this learner enjoys looking at diagrams and charts or specific models, also follows written directions and notes.
*Aural- musically inclined and can learn/retain information simply by listening to what is said.
*Verbal- discussing, debating and talking about specific topics
*Physical- this type of learner is hands-on and uses physical touch to learn about topics, this type of learner also excels in sports
*Logical- tends to be towards the math and science fields
*Social-learns best in groups/ working with others
*Solitary- learns better when do things alone/ by self

2. How can awareness of learning styles improve performance in a learning environment?

Being aware of learning styles can improve the performance of your students, because when you are aware of how your students learn then you will by more able to reach the student in the best way possible, and present information in a way it will be understood,

3. Does any of this matters?

Yes, absolutely this matters to any teacher. Knowing students' learning styles will help them be more successful in the classroom. Also we want our students to be well rounded, to know how learn best, as well as being able to learn as other learn.


ISTE NETS-T Standards
4-B: address the diverses needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.
With this standard, we can identify our learning styles and understand how to successfully use tools to benefit our style type.

Resume

Here is the link to my resume.
I was going to embed it, but it made everything really distorted, so I just put the link on here..
I set it so that everyone could see if, so I hope everyone can, and that the link works. Google seems to hate me more than it helps me.


Resume
https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1DYOJDizPYW0WceB13luAVIeG57bMsRiZzLe7BX_WtXs


What I did:
-I created a resume using Microsoft Word.
Then I went to google docs and uploaded it there so that everyone could see it.

What I learned
-I learned more about google docs.

How can you use the new learning?
-I can teach my students how to use Google docs so I will have links to look at their work.


ISTE NETS-T Standards I feel this assignment meets is:
3-A: demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations.
With this standard, we can transfer items from Word Documents into Google Docs.

This also meets:
Standard

Browser Wars

When looking at current "Browser Wars", the newest statistic shows that Firefox has taken the top spot. I have been using Firefox for a while, especially since my Internet explorer is corrupt and doesn't work. I have noticed that somethings, like Black Board, want to be even more difficult than normal on Firefox. I have come to be more auanted and use to Firefox, so I use it more than Internet Explorer, unless explorer is the only thing I have to use (in the Library at school).

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content.[1] Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to related resources.

The 4 most popular Web browsers are:
1. Firefox
2. Internet Explorer
3. (Google) Chrome
4. Safari

As I mentioned, I use Firefox, because it is what I have become familiar with and the only thing that works on my laptop.

Browser wars is a metaphorical term that refers to competitions for dominance in usage share in the web browser marketplace. The competition is driven by the amount of things that each browser can do, along with how well the browsers protect the people who use them. Also new features and speed are what attracts people to use the different browsers. When it comes to being #1 it is all about money and followers. The more popular a web browser is and the more money it raises, the more sucessful it is going to be.

What I did:
-I simply answered the questions.
I already had Mozilla

What I learned
-I learned about the different types of web browsers and how they are all different.

How can you use the new learning?
-We can use different types of web browsers in our classrooms. It would help them enhance their technology by switching it up.

"Browser Wars" can be associated with NETS-T 1B. Students are exploring and solving problems using digital tools. I can also be associated with 3D becuase the tool uses different resourses to research different topics.

Also:
Standard 5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership

community by promoting and demonstrating the effective use of digital tools and resources. Teachers:

tools and resources in support of student learning

Intstructional Tech again

Looks like this will be used again for Instructional Tech.
This time it is a Grad class.
Hopefully I will remember to keep up with it, and be able to add things that are going on in my life.

Talk to you soon.
