EDUC 6115 Week 1 Blog: Fitting the Pieces Together

Fitting the Pieces Together

After reflecting on my posting from the course in week one, here are my answers to the questions below:

1. Now that you have a deeper understanding of the different learning theories and learning styles, how has your view on how you learn changed? With all of the learning theories and styles I have learned throughout this course, I now have a more detailed view on my learning than compared to week one. I can see how my learning connects to each of the theories and syles various ways, depending on what I am learning at the time.

2. What have you learned about various learning theories and learning styles over the past weeks that can further explain your own personal learning preferences? After reviewing the various learning styles and theories, I have been able to further explain my own personal learning preferences. I can now see my preferences falling frequently in the cognitive, social, and adult learning theories. During week one, I did not quite make the connections between these learning theories and my learning preferences until this week.

3. What role does technology play in your learning (i.e. as a way to research information, to record information, to create, etc)? I know technology plays an extremely important role in my learning. I grew up knowing about technlology at such a young age both while I was in school and after school as well. I use the Walden library and the internet to research information for my course work and own personal development. I also utilize technlogy to record all of my readings, assignments, and discussions for class, so I can refer to them at a later time. I organize each of my classes accordingly by each week of learning, so I can easily retrieve the information. I also utilize technlogy when creating items to help me learn and retain the information for current and future memory.

All the best!
