Technological support of my learning style.

Describe 3 examples of how technology can be used to support your Learning Style.

Using different media allows me to try different types of learning to gain the knowledge of the concepts. This is inspiring and also allows for more up to date information.

For example when a dog was being described to me, they way I pictured it was not actually the way that it looked. My immediate response was to look for a picture of the dog and then read about the specifics fo the breed.

When one media type is unclear I can use technology to find other media that might help make things clearer.

What type of Learner...

I am a multimodal learner. I had 3 strong areas. Visual - Read/Write - Kinesthetic.
When I try to explain things and can not get the across, I often find it helpful to draw a picture instead.  Being a flexible learner will help in being a flexible teacher.  I feel this test is pretty accurate, but I would feel it had more base if there were a few more questions.

Hi, My name is Anne` (Annie) Myers Shattuck. I am in my 30's and have finally decided on a career after a few jobs. I am pursuing my Bachelor in Education. After I get that far I plan to start substitute teaching and pursue my Master's. My passion is Art however when funding gets cut it is the first to go, so History is my specialization. I have had jobs in Real Estate, Insurance, Office Management, Retail and Bar-tending. I attended the Art Institute in Ft. Lauderdale pursuing a Graphic Design degree. However the city life got a little too big for me and country roads brought me back home!
I got married this summer to my boyfriend of 8 years (Justin) on top of the mountain at Canaan. We met when we lived in Fort Lauderdale and he is originally from Rochester, NY. We have a son Andru, who is 6 and a first grader. He is a typical boy, full of energy and technology. I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and expecting our little girl (Jemma) to be here no later than October 5th.
