Throughout my educational career I've been surrounded by technology. This has been evident in smart-screen boards used in classrooms and the gradual replacement of hard-copy tests by online assessments. I have also become more reliant on my iPhone in order to alert me of special events, with over half of them being educational in some sort. As a matter of fact, my reliance on my phone has grown to the point where I would struggle to organise myself without it.

I hope to learn about new and more efficient ways of organising my day with the use of technology. The use of tech is only growing in today's society, and only those that become accustomed to this new mode of living will be able to succeed. Given how I intend on becoming a teacher, it is especially important for me to familiarise myself with this information so that I may properly acclimate our upcoming generation to this new technology. I'm also interested in learning about the array of ways in which technology and education can be integrated into one another.

I have learned that I am relatively balanced between being a reflective and active learner -- however I do lean more on the side of the latter. I'm more of an intuitive learner as I have an easier time grasping concepts than I do memorising facts. It is simple for me to grasp the basic structure of things than it is to pick apart the details that make the structure work. Despite my test results, I feel that I am both a visual and verbal learner. I say this because I am capable of verbally understanding the description of theories and concepts. However, I have a difficult time understanding verbal instructions if the instructor is giving a detail-heavy, step-by-step description on how to do something. I definitely am more of a global learner than I am a sequential learner -- but this applies mostly to math subjects. For others I consider myself to be relatively balanced.
