Prior Technological Uses
I've grown up around technology my whole life. It began with TV shows and desktop games before I had my own devices. Once I had my own laptop, I then learned how to write, research, and draw on different programs. In school, I was also surrounded by technology. My school district in Omaha had smart boards throughout lower grades before we became a one-to-one based district where each high school student received laptops for educational use. This allowed me to receive certification in classes throughout my high school career in programs such as Microsoft Word, Revit, and Microsoft Excel. These have benefited me tremendously in my life and I am very grateful for my experiences.
What I Hope to Learn
Throughout this course, I hope to learn how to best utilize the technological skills I learn into professional instruction. This includes communication with parents, presentations for peers, and lessons for the children. While I do have extensive prior knowledge, I hope to increase and enhance my skills and experience in programs.
My Learning Style
Overall, I am a flexible learner. My whole life, I can retain knowledge despite the media used. However, through this quiz I have discovered that I am a global learner. I am better at seeing the whole picture and putting details in later than vice versa. This is something I had previously not known about myself, but I will utilize throughout this class and my future learning endeavors.

I like the background, which is eye-catching. Just to note, you might want to change your font color used for the first two paragraphs and the heading "My Learning Style". I can only see the first two paragraphs and the heading when selecting and highlighting them.
