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 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 paragraph, 100-200 words)
For me specifically I would have to say that the screencasts were very
beneficial. I am able to look up similar topics without difficulty. I am able to
upload videos with audio. I can also rewatch the same video as many times and
I wish. I am able to comment and read other comments from people all over the
world. I am not much of an online person so being able to research something
very easily is very helpful. Using the videos helped with my visual and sequential
learning and allowed me to get a better understanding of the material. The
Macbook that I got within the semester were very beneficial to my learning.
2. Using one paragraph each, describe the top 3
multimediatechnologies you explored for learning (3 paragraphs,
100-150 words each)
The screencasting, podcasting and multimedia were a few technologies
that I explored to help me with my learning that would enhance my learning
styles. I own an iphone and tried to downloadvideosfrom screencasting and well
as audio logs from podcasting 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 screencasting 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
teacher’s 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
multimediatechnologies for learning (2 paragraphs, 100-150 words each)
I would have to say the screencasting has been the most interesting me as a
learning tool. I was never aware of all the available videos that assisted me to
my learning preferences. I was quite shocked that my computer was able to do
view the video as many times as I wanted. I was unaware I was able to look up
videos and audio logs andbookmark my favorite ones. I still would like to do a bit
more research into multimedia. I soon hope be able to use each multimedia and
wish to use it to its fullest capability.
I would say that the screncasting really did help me with my learning. As I said
in the previous paragraphs it allowed me to find same topics easily which allowed
me to use not stress out.
Describe how you will use what you learned in this class after this
semester (2 paragraphs, 100-150 words)
Over all I really hope to use my screencasting to continue with my learning. I
can socialize with others in my field. 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 podcasting because I am not much of an
audio learner.
