My Best Learning
Your scores were:
- Visual: 8
- Aural: 7
- Read/Write: 11
- Kinesthetic: 9
I found out that my learning style is more than just one main style i learn in all ways depending on what i am learning and what I need to know. I am more writing and reading than other but all mine are about the same number based upon the test. Some strategies I would take would be more practice and more one on one help depending on what I am trying to comprehend for example with chemistry i have to be taught exactly what i need to know i cant read it and comprehend it.

DEJ #2: Web 2.0
"There are many theories that address many students' learning styles. One of them is called VAK. VAK theory was founded and developed by Richard Bandler, and John Grinder."
Everyone learns in different ways and being able to
comprehend which way you are able to learn will help one succeed in everything
that one has to do. Also being able to manage your time helps to. I know I am
not a visual learner because I am horrible remembering a picture when given a
blank picture and having to locate say a part of the body on it, I have to
spend more time studying it than I would studying definitions. My auditory
learning isn’t really bad but it I am not fully an auditory learning I can
remember some things that have been said only if I write them down after being
stated. I can do well though when listening to auditory books, but if reading
it myself I have to reread it twice to grasp the point in the writing. I really
don’t know what I would consider my learning style.

DEJ #1: Digital Upgrade in Education
“What if bad writing is a product of the form of writing required in school — the term paper — and not necessarily intrinsic to a student’s natural writing style or thought process?”
What is really considered bad writing? We grow up learning
what is so called proper English, but who really determined what is proper and
what is improper. Everyone grows up in different regions of the world and is
taught what is proper to them. So is there really one way to say something that
is actually correct. Technology is bringing a whole new outlook on writing and
what is used on a daily basis. Texting is one thing that affects our knowledge
of what were learned in grade school and middle school to be proper English. I
think that as long as you are speaking in a way that the other person is able
to comprehend what you are saying then why isn’t it proper. Also the use of
slang effects a student use of so called good writing because of them using it
on a daily basis.What is really considered bad writing? We grow up learning

IPad assignment App Review
CourseSmart – is an app that allows a student to buy their
books for school and be able to access them right from your tablet. It makes it
more convenient to have to carry less to class and be able to help things
become more organized you are also able to highlight things within the book on
their and also take notes based on those pages. To me this will be a great look
for all college students to look into investing in.
Blackboard Mobile – is another app on the android market
that allows you to access your blackboard account as long as the college or
school has enabled it within their blackboard. I believe that this will be an
easier way for students to check if they have mail in the inbox and also if one
is doing a group project it’s easier to be able to get on your app more than being
able to get to a computer.

A Deeper Look
As one may know my name is Kalynne Hopkins. I'm 20 years old born on St. Patrick's Day. I am currently a pre-education major which I chose Secondary Education General Science with a basis of Chemistry/Math. I work at Rue 21 as part-time assistant manager. I am very outgoing, kind, honest, loyal, determined and much more. I am very family oriented, and like to spend time with my family and my boyfriend's family.
I'm a born and raised West Virginian. I grew up in Bridgeport, WV. I went to Bridgeport High School. I was in band my Freshman year and also as well did freshman cheerleading but due to having to work and pay for things myself once I was 16 i had to quit everything. I was in French Club all four years.
My plan for myself is to Teach High School Chemistry. I enjoy it really well as long as I can grasp the concept of it. I had a really good high school science teachers that gave me many great experiences and made me enjoy learning any time of science from anatomy, biology, chemistry. I really enjoy sciences for the most part and hope to give future student the experiences I had had and hopefully will be a great outcome from it maybe even a cure for diseases and students that become very smart and go to a higher education rather than just high school.
