I have taken a few computer classes some prior to college and one in college. I took typing class and a business class in high school and I took a basic computer class my first year of college at a Community College. I have worked with Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. I am very skilled at most of them but Access is my weakest of the four.

Since I have learned how to used and work with a lot of the programs I hope to learn how to incorporate them into the education field. Also which are best to use and with what age groups. I also hope to get a little more help with Access since it is my weakness but it seems to be a helpful program.

I feel I learn many ways it really depends on the subject and the instructor. I love to do hands on and group assignments because I feel you get to hear and learn about others ideas and ways of doing things. I do not enjoy lectures because I feel that i am not getting to work on the information and just listening and writing down what the person is saying doesn't benefit me.

In my classroom I would try to involve all three learning styles by not only lecturing but trying to maybe show a video to explain the information given, maybe a cartoon or book, but also do a hands on group assignment. This way all of the students would get a chance to learn the material a different way.
