I have used technology in the past many times. Through out high school I took many technology classes, such as BST (business technology) and Web Design. In BST I was actually more of a teacher than the actual teacher, and in Web Design I knew everything he was teaching, until he made us use a program, which I refused to learn because I believed true Web Designers shouldn't use short cuts such as Dream Weaver. I have been very good with technology, growing up around it; however, I would not say I am exceptionally skilled, just familiar.

I hope to become a bit more knowledgeable on the fine details of things. One such example is how to make certain graphs with MS Excel; I know how to make 95% of these graphs, but sometimes I can't figure out how to do one or two. I am also excited about Inspiration, a program I know nothing about and can't wait to just try something new.

I learned today that I am an Active, Sensing, Visual, and Sequential Learner, very left winged, just like my political views [although I doubt there is any connection (that would be a fun social experiment!)]. As an Active learner I like to do things; I like hands on experiences to "grasp" ideas. As a Sensing learner I like facts and details, which is probably why I am good at Math and History, and why I struggled in Humanities (which was just based off stories to try and understand an ancient civilization). As a Visual learner I like to see things; when taking multiple choice quizzes I find myself picturing the day the instructor taught us the information and I can actually see the information on the slide or on my notes. As a Sequential learner I like to follow steps; I find myself confused at times if I skip as step. However, I am very mid-line between Sequential and Global, and at times, such as in math, I can give you an answer with no clear way of explaining how I did it. I believe the way one learns doesn't randomly switch between the two types, but changes based off what situation one is in, or what one is trying to learn/do.
