Activities I completed…..

After completed all the level 1 activities (quizzes), I need to read through all the PowerPoint slides and additional links related to the topic in order to complete the assignments. I can have a better understanding when reading along.

Level 2 activities are forums, I need to post and share my work to the class and able to get feedback and comments from other students. At the same time, I can give other students feedback and comments.

Level 3 activities are experimental, I need to explore the technologies and apply to my life and compare the difference between before and after use.

Top 3 technologies

IPod or iPhones- review lectures, presentation, quiz apps, record audio files

IPad or tablets- record lecture, record audio files, review presentation, internet access, share information

Social network sites- share contents, interact with others, create forum and join groups, questions and comments

How to use what I learned…..

I can use what I learned from this class forever after this semester

Use the available resources to study (iPad/iPhone)

Handle and manage my stress in other wayUse the best learning strategy which work best to

me to learn new things in future I will change my diet and sleep habits which affect

my learning

Investigate…..

What I really investigate is IPad and social network sites

IPad: commonly used and owned technology. Bring it to class and to work, easy to carry around Review lectures and PowerPoints in class Note-taking in class

Social Network Sites Keep in touch with classmates Join groups which related to my major Create group for my class to ask question and comment Create study group

Summarize as Warrior

As a learning warrior, the goal is to have a deep investigation into few technologies

But I like to investigate each of the technologies which is useful and helpful in learning.

Not only one certain technology can help us to know and there is so many other technologies out there

I would like to know more rather than just few It is always good to know more technologies as we can

because many new technologies are producing everyday
