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?

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.
