My prior experiences using technology have a long history. After having every iPhone since the iPhone 4, I have become very fluent in the handheld aspect of using technology. When it comes to computers, Google Chrome is how I use the internet mainly due to speed. The only thing I would consider myself to not be the best at is coding without looking at how to code. Other than that, I've always had smooth experiences when using technology.
The reason I signed up for this class is because it is said to fulfill the computer competency requirement, which is one of the last requirements needed to graduate. I hope to learn more about certain technical aspects of a computer such as what the best software/hardware is to make a computer be at its fastest productivity level. Also, I would be interested in learning shortcuts to certain programs.
I am said to be more active than reflective when it comes to learning in the first section. In the second section, I am more visual than verbal because I prefer to see things. With my abstract way of thinking, I link more towards intuitive learning. I learned that I prefer sequential learning, which is a definite, especially when it comes to learning math.
I'm glad that your experience with technology has been smooth. Unfortunately, we won't go over coding in this class, but you will learn skills to help you become a more productive technology user. I've had quite a few students take this class because of the computer competency requirement, so I appreciate your honesty! Your challenge will be to "think like a teacher" as we move throughout the semester. I hope it is enjoyable for you!
ReplyDeleteI'd agree that I'm pretty fluent in than handheld aspect as well because of the iPhone. Thanks Steve Jobs! You're doing better than me though, since I don't even have the faintest clue what coding really even is :).
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'm very fluent with the handheld aspect of using technology. Texting is now something that is quicker for me to do rather than type on a keyboard. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you! Once I got my first Iphone, I became very good at using it because it was constantly on me. I know how to do some things on a phone rather than a computer.
