I absolutely love learning. I would say that I am an auditory learner. I love languages and listening to the right way of pronouncing the words is a a key. Visually it is important to get the spelling of the words right, I also find it easy to remember the way words need to look if they are spelt right. There are so many ways to learn things and it also depends on the subject that it is taught. ICT's and technologies are enhancing the learning for all learning styles. Viewing, listening, making something, solving problems with interactive activities and games. it is important to connect with the class. Computers are making it easy to upload, share and comment on information presented by students. The teachers have more options on creating a class, which relates closely to the students' ineterests.
Computers are great tools when they are used right, the right time and the right set up. The activities should be purposeful and promote higher order thinking. Sometimes disruption in the classroom is created due to the activities being boring or not challenging enough. It is important to challenge the students- always.

week 1 reflection on ideas about Learning Theories
The psychology and learning theories help students and teachers to understand more clearly the teaching process at hand.
Multiple intellegences- it is important as a teacher to assess and recognise all the different intellegences that students bring to the classrooms. Profiling the learners is vital and this method will provide more information about the students.
Cognitivism an sensory register are important parts of the learning theory and should be investigated and understood before organizing the materials for the class. Students shold find the new knowledge stimulating and wothwhile. Digital pedagogy can support the transfer through the use of the multimodal information sources.
Short term memory- Organizes the information for long term storage. ICT is important in supporting and chunking of information through interactive learning objects.
Long term memory- once students understand the learnt information, or schema, this new schema is compared to existing schemas and new knowledge is added. For the successful learning to occur the existing and new information should link and be built on in order to achieve the learning goal.
