My prior technology experience is extensive, but I don't know if I would describe it as 'advanced' by any means. I know the basics about Microsoft Word, Power-point, and Excel and the bare minimums of Adobe Photoshop and iMovie. Granted, I am a millennial, so I would consider myself  'tech savvy' when it comes to the Internet and social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. For the most part, due to my past experiences, I am usually pretty quick on picking up technology and adapt to technology updates relatively well.

I hope to learn more about Excel in this class. Excel in particular because the opportunities are endless with it! I hope to pursue a job in teaching, so being able to input test scores and make comparisons would be very helpful. Excel can also be utilized in day to day life when creating budgets, or just dealing with a variety of numbers/lists in general. Being knowledgeable in this area would not only enhance my resume, but also my self confidence in organization and overall management of numbers.

I was not surprised with my results from the Learning Styles Scale, I have been a visual learner from day one! I do my very best when I can see step by step what is required of me. The highest score you can earn on the test is an "11", and that is exactly what I got in the Visual learning section. My second highest result was "Sequential", where I scored a "7" which also reflects me very well. This one was initially less obvious to me, but the more I think about it, the more fitting I think it suits me. I have a tendency to organize things in steps and usually follow logical steps to find solutions to problems. This questionnaire was enjoyable and it was very interesting to interpret my results!
