Exploring a Learning Experience
Awareness | Evaluation | Regulation | |
What | ChoiceWorks, a smart phone application | I understood how it assists with time or task management. | To get a better understanding, I need to install it on my phone and try it out for myself and teach it to a student. |
How | I was introduced to this application in a group presentation in class. I attentively watched its demonstration. | Watching the demonstration alone was effective in seeing how it actually works. | To make learning more effective, I could have taken notes. |
Why | I should learn about it because it can be used for students that need routine structure. | I think it would be beneficial to learn it to build on my AT knowledge and make me more valuable to the employer. | Other ways to learn the application besides in class is I could get feedback others' experiences of using it or attend workshops. |
