So, I am taking classes, initially because I had to for my teaching certification, but increasingly, I am wanting to for myself.  I love these technology instruction classes.  They seem to be saying, Sharon, it is ok that you don't like reading and writing as much as you like hands on things like making videos and drawing.  It is as if my whole school career could have been drastically changed had we all known then what we know now about technology.  I know that information and technologies were not available 30 years ago when I could have really used them (middle and high school) so it is not as if I could have known, but...still.

My first class was Diving into Digital.  The text said that today's learners are non-linear thinkers, more visual, more kinesthetic, unpredictable, problem solving.. ..which describes my learning style.
