My view on the learning theories and styles hasn't really changed but me knowing about the different theories and styles is more broader. I feel like I know much more now as to when this class first started. The learning theories and styles help me see how everyone learns in a different way by different styles. People are very diverse when it comes to learning the same information. They have many diverse ways of learning and some can be similar but overall people have their own way of learning. People interpret information differently. I still learn about information the same way because I have acquired my own learning style and how I interpret information. Integrating technology into the learning styles is a good thing that will always benefit the learner. I think it is good that people can learn in a diverse way because people are always on the go and they can access the information 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
My own personal learning preferences leans towards learning outside of the classroom by using different technical tools like mobile devices, lap tops or Ipads. When using these tools, they have alot of applications to choose from to communicate like, skype classroom's dicussion board, blogs, facebook chatting and skyping. By using these tools, the learning of information becomes easy for the working students becuase of the accessibility they have to the information through their mobile devices for instance and they wouldnt have to wait to get to class inorder to do their work or contact a classmate or teacher relating to the class. By people having the busy lives with working and families, usinf the new techical softwares even helps expands ones knowledge on their subjects becuase they also allow for more of communication or dialogue to be communicated. I like the fact that i dont have to be in a physical classroom for a period of time. The online learning or elearning lets me do my work for certain periods of time and i can go back to it later. In a classroom, a person has to sit down for a few hours and get lectured. Listening to a teacher lecture,gets me to think about other things and focus on class. When I am online I can see the information and interpret it my own way at my own pace with out rushing through the information. Thats is how I learn certain information becuase it has to be visually seen and i have to be hands on also when learning new information.
The role that technology play in my learning is very vital becuase I always use the internet for researching and finding information on everything. There are so many search engines to use inorder to find information. Back when I was younger the only way to research is to go to the library and look through the books, magazines, encyclopedias and etc. Since technology has been dramatically upgraded, the internet has made it possible that people can look up information in any book , encyclopedia, magazine, and websites. There are some information that can falsified on the internet but usually the information isnt if its on a reputable website. I have been using the internet in helping me find information about anything I need to find. The internet makes the information searchable all day everyday for people who needs to find it early in the morning, late at night or even on weekends.
