Blog Post Set Up

I've used technology all of my life, as well as, today. In middle school I was taught the basics of using Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word. Once I went to high school, I took a computer programming class, where I learned the basics of computer programming. I learned the different concepts of a computer and some of the terminology used for example; CPU, RAM, output and input devices. Technology is continuing to advance, so I'm definitely sure that I'll continue to improve my technology skills, and become more computer savvy. I've also done research in the libraries and I use social media everyday. If there was not Internet I actually wouldn't know how I would be able to communicate with my parent back at home. 

Being a student in EME2040, I hope to enhance my technology skills so that I can use these skills throughout the rest of my life. Being that I'm currently well aware of how to use some of the Microsoft Office products I know there's a lot more information that I may not known about. My skills for Microsoft Excel are very limited so I hope I learn different ways to create spreadsheets, graphs, charts, and other items that you're able to create in that program. I also hope to learn how to enhance my skills using Microsoft PowerPoint. Being that the creativity options are increasing on that program, I hope to be able to learn how to create a game like Jeopardy. 

My learning style I learned that I'm more of an active listener than a reflective listener. I absolutely hate just sitting there listening to a lecture. I actually like to go over something, and then complete an activity or something interesting to help me learn the material.  I also learned that I'm more of a sensing learner than an intuitive learner, I figured this because I'll rather jump right into solving a problem and if I run into an frustrating situation when solving that problem I tend to give up. I'm also a visual learner, which I knew as well. I'm not good with names and I typically tell people that when I first meet them, but I'll remember their face and still speak. Also, if someone verbally tells me how to do something, I probably will not remember how to do it. I'll rather someone show me how to do it instead so that if there is a next time I wouldn't have to ask for help.  What surprised me the most is that I'm a global learner. I typically need the main idea of the subject first and then the details. It will help me eventually teach myself and actually store the information rather than remembering the information for a short period of time.
