My prior experiences with technology have been limited but consistent with the rest of my peers. I use most social media websites and applications which include but are not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Vine, YouTube, and Gmail. I was also an intern this past summer at a church and I learned how to use a lot of different computer devices for organization and scheduling. Also during my Freshman year at Florida State University, I had to create a blog for my English Composition class and that widened my perspective on the use of technology to teach.
What I hope to learn in this class is how to properly use the correct form of technology to give my students the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. I also hope to use this information on my resume to further advance my career inside the educational field. I also hope to learn how to incorporate social media and other applications into my teaching style.
What I learned about my learning style is I am an active learner. I learn best in group situations where I can bounce ideas off of other people. I also read that classes with long lectures are harder for me (but I figured that out last year on my own). I am also more of a visual person so I tend to grasp more information when presented with a graph or diagram of some sort. For the other two categories I found myself floating in the middle so I tend to be balanced in either of those comparisons.
I agree that your tech experience is consistent, but don't sell yourself short. Not being a computer programmer doesn't mean your experience is limited. You have three big areas covered: social media, data/scheduling, and blogging. Develop your visual skills (presentations, video, graphic design), and you just about have it covered. In fact, please see how you can help classmates. Sharing with others may help you fine-tune your skills as well.
