Synthesis Quest Level 3 Presentation
- 2. Motivaton ● What motivated me to take this class was that I love technology and when it comes to technology I am a fast learner. ● I wanted to see what this class had to offer in teaching me about my own learning skills.
- 3. Personal Learning Preferences Reflective- 5 Sensing- 9 Visual- 11 Global- 3
- 4. Personal Learning Preferences ● ● ● ● Reflective: I scored a 5 because I like to care about the topic in order to take the time to soak up all of the information. Sensing: I got a 9 for sensing because i’d rather learn about facts instead of theories. I like lessons that connects to the real world and gets straight to the point. Visual: This is my highest score, 11 because I understand activities and information easier when its right in front of me. It makes everything simple and efficient when there are pictures or diagrams. Global: This my lowest score, 3 because I like to look at the big picture of subjects this way its faster to come up with a solution. But I am not the best at explaining information.
- 6. Learning Pathway Activities ● I chose the Learning Warrior Pathway because I wanted to absorb as much information as I could about my favored technologies. ● I didn’t get a chance to do all of the activities but mostly introduction, metacognition, and synthesis quests. But I did go through the mini lectures and articles to learn about all of the topics.
- 7. Top 3 Technologies 1. Screencast 2. Microblog 3. Social Networking
- 8. Screencast ● First time learning about screencast is in this course ● It was an option for my synthesis quest presentation. I was able to look through different websites to see which screencast matched my learning preferences. (but ended up using online presentation) ● Great for those who want to learn at their own paced ● Great for presentation and tutorials
- 9. Microblog ● I use Twitter on a normal basis and didn’t realize there was a way to make it educational. ● I follow news accounts to stay updated. Good thing about the many different twitter accounts I could choose the topics I would like to read about. Also, I could even search hashtags for a specific topic and what people are saying about it.
- 10. Social Networking ● Didn’t think it could be educational ● It is simple to share information with everyone on your social network ● I find myself clicking on articles and videos that my friends share more often because I am now aware that it is another form of learning. ● Builds connections with peers by gaining knowledge about similar interests
- 11. Physiological Factors ● Now that I am aware of the physiological factors of my body I take better care of myself. This is because I want to be able to stay focus and give my best performance with everything. Learning that simply not eating is already a distraction so now I am more careful with my eating and sleeping habits.
- 12. After this semester I will... ● implement my learning preferences for more efficient studying for other courses ● remember the physiological factors of my body and how it affects my learning ● use all of the technologies I learned about in and outside of school. Examples: ○ iPhone for flashcards ○ microblogs for news updates etc.
- 13. Learning Warrior Experience My experience as a learning warrior could have gone better if I stayed on task because I missed out on many assignments. But I was able to redeem myself by reviewing all of the mini lectures and articles provided. I did complete my goal of wanting to understand selected technologies to help me in and outside of school in the future. Also, being able to know my learning preferences help me in this course to know how to approach certain topics and assignments.
