0 active learners, web codes and other impossible tasks

Technology has started to become an integral part our lives; whether or not we want it to. I have found myself constantly using Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Youtube, and Snapchat. I am always connected, always texting and communicating with others through various social medias, but even I find some aspects of technology difficult. It's easy to send a text, but writing web codes and diagnosing computers seems near impossible.

Now, I'm not asking to write web codes (or other impossible tasks), but there are a few things I hope this class will teach me. I hope to learn new ways of presenting projects and ideas, with software such as Powerpoint and Prezi. I want to be taught the types and uses of different media and how to apply it to student learning.

During class today, I took a survey that determines what my learning style is. As it turns out, I scored a 5 on the active learner versus reflective, meaning I moderately prefer being an active learner. Active learners, like myself, retain most of their information by doing. Unfortunately, they also find it harder to sit through lectures. As well as being an active learner I discovered I scored a 1 on intuitive learners. This means I'm pretty well balanced on the scale, that I slightly prefer innovation in contrast to methods and facts. I also scored a 7 on my visual versus verbal. This is pretty straightforward; it means I more likely will remember things I see instead of things I hear. Finally, the last part of the survey showed I was predisposed to global learning instead of sequential. Global learners often absorb material and then suddenly "get it." They solve complex problems quickly because they look at the big picture, but often they can't explain how they got to their conclusion.
