   Technology has been a very important part of my life. I got my first computer as a birthday present when I was about five years old. It did not have any internet but it had Microsoft Office installed. During my time with a Windows computer I mostly learned how to use Microsoft Word, which helped me tremendously with all my school assignments. A few years later I got a Macbook. Macbooks are a little bit different from Windows computers so it took some time getting use to their formatting but eventually I understood how it worked and now I love my Mac. I used my computer for school and for entertainment. I learned many things like how to search the internet for any information that I needed and use the programs that they had available for school and projects. 

  

 During this course I hope to learn more about PowerPoint and review the basics to make sure that I understand everything about a Windows computer. Even though I have used PowerPoint in the past I never really understood everything that was available for me to use. I remember seeing other students presentation's and they were very elaborate while mine were always plain. So I would like to be able to do more with PowerPoint and learn how to make better presentations. I would also like to learn all the basics of using a Windows computer because I have been using a Mac for so long that I have forgotten how to do many things on a Windows computer.  

    

   Today, I learned a lot about my personal learning style. By taking this quiz I learned that I learn by using a little bit of each of the learning styles. Reading through the explanation on each of the different learning style I found out that I am mostly a hands-on learner I like to try things out so that I can fully understand the concept. I also learned that I like to first see the "big picture" and then try to connect the dots to understand a certain concept. It was very interesting to see how many ways there are for people to learn.
