Resume

Google Docs is something that is very new to me and very awesome!

What's the use?
  • online word processing
  • enables you to share information securely
  • create new documents or upload your own exisiting documents
Prospective Users?
  • teachers
  • students
  • employers
  • job seekers
Access?
  • phones
  • computers
I learned you can actually put your information out their on the web for everyone to see. You essentially publish it! What a great resource for teachers and students! What a breakthrough in technology to allow an educator to publish announcements for all the students to see and vice versa. Since it is an online system, it is in real time. This is so important when it comes to education because you want your students to have everything done in a timely manner. Google docs is also a great tool for employers and job seekers. Google Docs makes it really easy for you to upload anything you already have on your computer. Something else I found very cool was the templates they offer for almost anything you can think of. I will definitely be using it on a regular basis now!

Take a look at how educators make use of google docs!

Here is a link to my resume that I published!

Aural Learning

Well folks, I took the test! I actually was not too far off! Turns out I am an aural learner! I learn by sound and music. I do think this style fits my personality quite well, as well as fit with my previous thought of being a visual learner. I love to see something happen right before my eyes and also have someone tell me about it. I think combining the 2 learning styles would be great for a presentation to my future students or colleagues. A powerpoint with pictures and sounds would be a great way for me to teach because I could relate to it and better help the students! Reading aloud would also be a great way to teach people with this learning style.

The link below shows the results of my test, along with some great pointers for those who learn this way! What a neat test! Give it a try! :)

Aural Learning

Learning Styles

As far as how I believe that I learn, I would consider myself a visual learner. Meaning I would like a teacher to show me a picture of what they are trying to explain. I also think I can sometimes be an aural learner because sound and music intrigues me. I do like to work alone. I feel that I get more done that way so, I also see myself as a solitary learner.

When asked to take a learning style test, I was not sure what was being asked of me quite honestly. I have never taken any kind of test like this before. We will see what the outcome is!
