more new things

Now I am enrolled in LATI and I wanted to jot down a few thoughts about it so far. I really found the VARK learning style questionnaire results helpful. I suppose it confirmed what I already know, but I did appreciate the learning strategies that accompany my style. It made me realize that even though my learning preference is very strong read/write, (the antithesis of computer learning!) I can still apply these strategies to the online learning experience.

The Newsweek article on the Internet was fascinating although it is not current. It gave an excellent explanation of webby things as one of my chief complaints about computers is how inarticulate instructions are. These are not English majors writing these computer directives.

I also enjoyed the overview of the Internet--Newsweek encapsuled some of the essence of its impact on society which I find fascinating. I think we are only beginning to comprehend the ramifications for everyone.
