![LEARNING PREFERENCE
ACTIVE/REFLECTIVE [1]
I agree that I am balanced as an active and reflective learner.
My preference is mildly stronger on the active side since I like to apply myself and explain it to
others later. I like to experiment and see the results, but at the same time I'd like to think about it
momentarily before doing so.
SENSING/INTUITIVE [1]
I completely agree with this assessment. Even though it is balanced, it leans just a little towards
being a sensor.
Overall, I have a tendency to go by factual evidence. If there is no proof, I probably do not
believe it is true. I'm more of a historian than a discoverer/traveler. I like the city more than I like
camping if that makes any sense.
VISUAL/VERBAL [11]
I like pictures, that is all. I'm a painter, and I like colors. I prefer to have visuals when it comes to
lectures. Even seeing the words in large typefaces accompanied by relative images helps me
tremendously in the classroom setting. I understand that I'm not balanced in this category and
need to work hard on my listening skills. My mind has always connected images with words, just
like that cliché; "a picture is worth a thousand words," but it's probably worth 200 to me though,
realistically.
SEQUENTIAL/GLOBAL [1]
It's a good thing that I'm well balanced in this category of learning style. I do like to see things as
a whole, but I like the step-by-step procedure of finding the answer. Usually I like to take a
sneak-peek of the answer before solving a math problem. I agree that I tend to jump forward
slightly to understand.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/itec299-syntheispresentation-131216011820-phpapp02/85/Itec-299-syntheis-presentation-4-320.jpg)

- 6. ACTIVITIES COMPLETED CONTRIBUTED OR DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ABILITY TO COMPLETE LEARNING PATHWAY LEVEL 2 ACTIVITY: Predict, Use, Evaluate The simple steps of trying to predict a piece of technology would be helpful in improving my learning style was a significant contribution in getting a broader perspective. Using the technology had enlightened and pleasantly surprised me. Evaluation was great because from first hand experience using the technology, I would understand if the technology actually helped me learn something or could be beneficial to my learning.
- 7. TOP 3 TECHNOLOGIES EXPLORED FOR LEARNING 1. iPods & iPhones (mp3 Players & smartphones) 2. Screencasts 3. iPads & Tablets
- 8. SYNTHESIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATING THE USE OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING iPods & iPhones (mp3 Players & smartphones) • I used my iPod and iPhone to download and listen to my marketing lecture whenever I was on the go. My lectures were available in audio format and it helped me study.
- 9. SYNTHESIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATING THE USE OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING Screencasts • Screencasts are great as review tools as I can rewind and go back as many times as I want until I understand. • It is great for self-taught tutorials, especially when learning a new piece of technology.
- 10. SYNTHESIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE INVESTIGATING THE USE OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING iPads & Tablets • Because there are a lot of apps available in the app store, I was able to download a couple of apps like Evernote peek, which was an advanced flashcardstyle studying app for me. It has helped me study terms and concepts for my other classes.
- 11. SYNTHESIZE HOW YOU HAVE INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE OF THE PHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS OR ASPECTS OF LEARNING INTO YOUR PERSONAL LEARNING PRACTICES After this class, I am going to continue get enough sleep and have more exercise in my daily regimen. It helps my brain function more efficiently as I have more energy and my ability to focus is at an all time high. My retention as definitely improved, and my study habits have as well.
- 12. SUMMARIZE HOW YOU WILL USE WHAT YOU LEARNED IN THIS CLASS AFTER THIS SEMESTER • I will sleep earlier, eat healthier, and exercise more often to keep my body and mind healthy. • I will continue to use my iPhone and iPad as an organizer and study aid • Screencasts will help me learn new programs since I am going into the graphic design world.
- 13. SUMMARIZE FEELINGS ABOUT EXPERIENCE AS A LEARNING SAGE • Overall, I feel that I did get a broader understanding about all the technologies. Not every technology was beneficial like social bookmarking, in my opinion because links were not up to date. I did like using microblogs, screencasts, multimedia, iPods, and iPhones as learning aids. • I believe I can continue my college career with a better understanding and a new outlook. I feel like this course has proven to me that college can be organized in a better format to make it easier to digest.
