2. Describe your personal learning preferences (1
paragraph, 100-150 words)
At the beginning of the class my learning style results were
REF (3), SEN (1), VIS (9), and SEQ (3). After this test I
really took into consideration how I could use these results to
help me study. By the end of class I realized that these
learning styles really do help me to learn better. Although it
is still hard at times, but know how information may appeal to
my interest has been very beneficial. My preferences for
learning has still a bit of a journey but along the semester
thinking how these styles can help me have pulled me
through this long semester. Knowing how I am able to help
myself has enhanced my learning.
Describe the learning pathway you chose at the
3. beginning of the class (1 paragraph, 100-200 words)
For this section I believe I did join Learning Sage pathway
because the time we are in really require us to know how to
use technology. It is a important factor for work, business,
and entertainment. I wasn’t sure how to use the pathway
very well during the semester and wasn’t able to use it to my
fullest potential but from what I did use I can say it was very
useful. I did get a broader knowledge of mobile technology.
I’m sure I was quite unsuccessful compared to my peers in
this class but I tried to do my best and it was very beneficial
for what I was able to accomplish.
Describe how the activities you completed contributed
or did not contribute to your learning pathway (1
4. paragraph, 100-200 words)
For me specifically I would have to say that the iPod
and MP# players were very beneficial. I am able to use
something that is portable which allows me to transport it
with me without difficulty. I am able to upload pictures and
diagrams and view them for as long as I want or as many
times as I wish. That also goes for audio logs that I wish to
repeat to myself and get a better understanding of what is
being said each time it repeats. I am not much of an audio
learner so being able to repeat something is very helpful.
Using the iPod helped with my visual and sequential learning
and allowed me to get a better understanding of the material.
My iPhone that I got within the semester and the iPod I had
were very beneficial to my learning.
Using one paragraph each, describe the top 3
mobile technologies you explored for learning (3
paragraphs, 100-150 words each)
The iPod, tablets, and microblogs were a few
5. technologies that I explored to help me with my learning that
would enhance my learning styles. I own an iPod and tried
to upload lectures and well as audio logs that I would be able
to view as many times as I wished throughout the day. I
borrowed my friend’s tablets to look up information and
complete my work at times and I also used microblogs that
had to do with the topic I had to review in order to help me
get a better understanding of my topic at hand. All these
technologies were very beneficial in their own way. I was
able to use each one for a different preference for my
learning comprehension. I was able to view pictures and
diagrams as many times as I wished. I was also able to look
up information that was not available during the teachers
presentation and if I missed a lecture I was able to do my
own research and teach myself in a sequential order that fit
my learning preference.
Synthesize your experience investigating your use of
different mobile technologies for learning (2 paragraphs,
100-150 words each)
6. I would have to say the iPod/iPhone has been the most
interesting me as a learning tool. I was never aware of all
the available apps/programs that assisted me to my learning
preferences. I was quite shocked that my iPod was able to
do more then just play music. I was unaware I was able to
upload audio logs and pictures of lectures onto my
iPod/IPhone. I still would like to do a bit more research into
iPhones/iPads. I soon hope to own an iPad and wish to use
it to its fullest capability.
I would say that the iPod really did help me with my
learning. As I said in the previous paragraphs it allowed me
to view things as many times as I wished which allowed me
to use my visual side of learning but since I am not very
good with my audio side of learning it helped me by being
able to listen to audio logs as many times as I wished to.
Describe how you will use what you learned in this
class after this semester (2 paragraphs, 100-150
words)
7. Over all I really hope to use my iPhone /iPod to continue
with my learning. It has helped me this far into the semester
and hope to help me in other parts of my life. I currently
work at the pet hospital and am training to be a pet nurse
and hope to use this mobile learning to learn all the medical
applications that will help me to become a better nurse. With
all the medications and the causes of diseases and the
outcome that can benefit the pet starts to become a long list
and this new way of learning will help me to further my
education.
I will probably stay away from social networking
because I end up getting sucked into the social/entertaining
parts that have nothing to do with my learning. Although it
can help me with my learning it still has the part of
socializing that I can’
