My prior experience with technology is pretty basic to say the least. I know how to work the most prominent pieces of technology that are involved in everyday life. I'm almost a master at working with anything with a touchscreen, there's no cellphone that I can't figure out how to work, and i'm basically a wiz when it comes to using the popular tools on a computer like web browsers and Microsoft word (If you wanna see some real skill, watch me play pinball on the computer). But if you wanted me to detox a computer or complete utilize every single tool on an iPhone, you got the wrong guy. I think I speak for most of us when I say that when my computer breaks, the first person I tell is my dad so i fix it. So basically, I'm a just tech norm when it comes technology. That's why I'm taking this class.

My biggest hope from this course is to learn everything that I need to know to teach. I thought I knew everything from what my teachers initially taught. I started to realize that this was wrong in high school when I realized that teachers were using Excel with half of the presentation. Not only that, I still to this day do not know how they made half of those printed out assignments with the lines and special marks. It's safe to say that I need this course more then I initially thought I did when i originally signed up for it, especially after taking the questionnaire.

The questionnaire opened my eyes and really surprised, like Kanye West snatching the mic away surprised. I thought I was much more determined that I was a pure in my learning style, but it turns out that's not the case. I much more close to being even in many aspects of my learning. The only style that I am strongly uneven in, in my eyes, is my strong preference of being a visual learner. Even with that learning style though, I still feel very conflicted about it.
