My first experiences using computer technology was in elementary school. They taught a simple Windows computer class which was helpful in learning the basics of computer technology. I also always had a computer around my house so when I got to middle school and high school, I would spend a significant amount of time chatting with friends on AIM. I also had a LiveJournal account so I am familar with blogging. In high school, I took a three different computer class which taught the skills to use Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, and Photoshop even though I don't remember much of it.

Since I have a somewhat basic understanding of the skills using the different Mircosoft Office programs, I would like to develop my skills in order to expand my knowledge of computer technology. Learning these programs will help with future classes and assignments dealing with Word and Powerpoint. Also, learning more about Excel will be very helpful with managing personal datas such as finances. Although I am not familiar with the program Inspiration, from what I've heard, it seems interesting and I would like to learn more.

Based on the activity done in class today, I have learned that my style of learning in mainly visual, untuitive, and global. I learn much easier when I see things rather than hear them. I can remember faces and data charts much easier and better than I can remember what someone has said. I also tend to look at the big picture of an assignment rather than examining all
the details leading up to it. Solutions and the details tend to fall into place for me when completeing tasks. I also tend to form ideas and connections to them rather than just learning the straight facts.
