Learning through Technology
I have found this class to be rewarding in some ways while in other ways hard. This class differs from other ways I have learned because I am so used to learning things from my parents or from a person. Having an online teacher was slightly strange for me, and hard, because it made things harder to grasp. When I was just reading things all the time I found that I got bored and uninterested in the learning part of the class. However, when I was watching the videos and learning about different things I was able to really grasp the things that professor Cline wanted us to learn, and I found that I was actually interested. Even though it was hard for me to grasp certain things from learning online I was able to learn one very important lesson. That lesson is that I need to be in a chair and sit and squirm and get frustrated in order to really grasp things that will teach me how to write better. Online learning has helped me to learn many things the hard way but I have grasped many of those things because I taught myself to take the time to learn about them.
The technology that helped me the most this semester were the videos that professor cline put on blackboard. Those videos showed me how to properly write an analysis and a summary. They also showed me how to use the library database, and they showed support from my teacher. Before I took this online class I had no idea how to use analysis and summary, or even a library database in an essay. People had explained them to me before but for some reason I learned more by watching how to use each of them than I learned from people telling me. I was encouraged in my learning process by the many videos Cline put on blackboard letting us know that she was available to help us if we ever needed it. I never went to her and asked for help but it was still nice to know that she was there if I ever needed it.
Out of all of the technologies we used in this class I found the videos to be the best and the most beneficial. Because I found them to be so beneficial I plan to use more videos in my future. I plan to make several videos of my family members to save memories and if we are allowed to in my next class I plan to use videos as well. I would really like to thank Professor Cline for providing such a wonderful class this semester. I truly enjoyed every part of it, and I have learned a lot to use next semester.
