Learning Styles

1)List 3 of your strongest learning styles. Write down what each of them mean.
Logical-Mathematical~Think by reasoning
Musical-Rhythmic~Think via rhythms and melodies
Intrapersonal~Think deeply inside of themselves

2)List 3 of your weakest learning styles. Write down what each of them means.
Spatial~Think in images and pictures
Body-Kinesthetic~Think through somatic(body) sensations
Interpersonal~Think by bouncing ideas off other people.

3)Using your answers to questions 1 and 2, list three things that you can do to improve the way you learn. Also list three things that teachers can do to help you learn better in class.
One way that I can improve my learning skills is to maybe make a song out of a lecture or lesson. Another is to just relax before class and not have pressure that will distract me from learning. I can also just think logically or something like that. A way that a teacher can help me learn is by letting me work with others or by giving me images to help me out.

First Semester Reflections...

I need to do ALL of my assignments and do good in them so by the end of the semester I can have A's with more than 95%.

What I Have Learned

The most difficult thing that I learned in this technology class was making a motion or shape tween. I think that it was difficult for me because I did not understand the steps. I should have asked but I know that Mr. Hsu gets mad, so I didnt. Most of the time my friends help me out with doing tweens and I'm starting to understand it a little more. I think that by the end of the year I will know how to do them.
