What I learned on Oct. 8

What I learned this session is of course how to use software to create a website. Honestly, I had an experience to help a small organization create its website by using FrontPage, and I was hoping that this session would remind me of something. But it didn’t. This is why I am always trying to relate technology to something that I must do, so that I can keep using it. I will not forget it unless I stop using it. Actually, I am really worried if I remember how to use Excel (using formulae, etc.) when I go back to high school next year.

It was interesting that people may have their learning style particuly for techology. I think visual learners tend to need someone familiar with technology to show how it works. I need to see how it will look like when I effectively use it before reading tutorial, manual, whatsoever. This thought applies to all of my learning. I cannot start with "0" or "1." I need to see "10" before getting things started.

I really liked your thoughts about the "technology people" and visual learners (like myself0, who really NEED someone to show them how everything works;) So, if you do not understand the end product and do not "see how it will look like" you will not be able to do the assignment? Hmm.. interesting, I think when I see the final product, I would most of the times freak out and get discouraged.. although, maybe not.. i guess it depends on the situation;)

I'm also a visual learner, and as you, I need to see the big picture so I can adjust my expectations and set my goals (and steps towards it). I also need to know how things are composed or named if they are new to me, I feel ackward saying "how do I get that table" or "what is that thing there". It all depends of our learning style, right?
