Introduction

I haven't had many experiences with technology besides the basics, Microsoft Word, minimal Internet usage and a little Microsoft PowerPoint. I have never been much of a computer person. Many of my friends have gotten upset with me over the years because I didn't write them back on facebook or myspace, or because I didn't respond to an email.
I would love to learn more uses for the Internet besides my occasional browse on facebook and myspace and of course, online shopping. I would like to be able to use the Internet for research more effectively. I would also like to learn more about using PowerPoint because I can only do the basics. I would to learn how to use excel because honestly, I don't even know what it is or what it's used for.
I scored a one towards the intuitive side and I understand why. I am a bit of both because I do prefer being tested on things specifically covered in class and I understand things better when I have a real-world example to refer to. On the other hand, I often make silly mistakes, especially in math, because I work too fast and I tend not to read the whole question. I get bored very easily in classes and my mind tends to wonder also if I'm not actively doing something or thinking about something. I think that is why I scored a 3 towards the active learning side. Even though I am somewhat of a quiet person I enjoy working in groups and doing hands-on activities because it helps me understand things better. I scored a 5 towards the visual learner side and I agree with that because whenever I think about things I picture it in my head and when I', trying to put things together I often look at the pictures more than the words. According to the quiz I am also a sequential learner and I agree with that because I like step by step processes when solving things. I may exclude a step or two every once in a while but I still know that there are steps and what they are and I have complete most of them in the order I know in order to solve a problem.
