My prior experience with technology is mainly through stuff I have done in the classroom over the last couple of years. In my high school we had to take a computer class that taught us to use the basics including Blogger, Google Drive, and more. I am happy I took that class because I have continued to use much of the stuff I've learned in this class in other classes including in college. I also knew of the keyboard shortcuts because of the computer class also. One thing I never fully learned to use was Prezi however.
Because I never learned to use Prezi, I hope to possibly learn how to use that. And if not Prezi, I hope to learn something similar because many classes I take involve the use of power points. I also hope to learn more shortcuts like the keyboard shortcuts we talked about in the beginning of class.
I learned today that I am more of a sensory learner. This means that I like problem solving and facts which surprised me because going in I expected to be an intuitive learner. After reading more about sensory learning, however, I do agree that I am a sensory learner because I am practical and careful. I also learned that I have a well balance between being an active and reflective learner as well as a balance between being a visual and verbal learner which didn't surprise me because I learn differently based on different subjects usually. Finally I learned I am more of a sequential learner rather than global which I agree with.
Prezi is neat because it shows progression from one topic to the next. In these relationship situations, I think it is more powerful than power point. However, Power Point is still king. Done well, a good designer can do just about anything with Power Point. Although I don't specifically teach Prezi, you can choose it as one of your independent learning project. I look forward to your creativity!
