Fitting the Pieces Together (WK 7 Application EDUC 6115)

    Upon gaining an in depth understanding of the different learning theories and learning style, my view of learning is uniquely diverse and is never done developing because finding different and new ways to learn is a continuous process of lifetime commitment. A much deeper understanding of teaching and learning has been gained than ever before. Despite having prior knowledge of the learning styles, still my understanding of them has grown tremendously. Hearing people refer to learning theories: behaviorism and cognitivism in the past never provided a clearly defined understanding of them until taking EDUC 6115 at Walden University. Furthermore, the theory of connectivism parallels more-so to my idea of learning and my approach to instruction. Technology is almost always the first place used to search for information, to record and create and communicate information. Unless I have prior knowledge, a book for reference, or a credible reliable person as a source of information, my mobile device, Galaxy S3 currently, is the frequently the first place to seek the answer.  My laptop and tablet or any other technology device is used to ask for answer through text messages or Internet search. Reading materials and YouTube videos searches when looking for the answer. Creating and communicating information through technology also show major role in learning taken by the utilization. When creating and recording information my dell notebook and mobile device is almost always used since my handwriting is not always the most legible. Too big, too small, illegible or just plain sloppy, so I try to stick with the notebook and handheld mobile device S3 when transcribing information that I need to communicate create or record.  From meeting notes to classroom notes Furthermore, my organization of papers was always challenging was difficult because all the paper was white copy paper or white loose-leaf paper which resulted in misplacement of items. I have tried color paper in some cases but that became pricey so using technology made things function much more efficiently to the point where my class functions in an almost paperless classroom.  What is meant by almost is the fact that the student have the option to print but all assignments and materials are online in the web portal and tests are generated as forms through Google drive. Concluding,  Collectively the tools of technology enhance learning to a level of vivid, neat, focused and detailed conclusive communication of information.
