Which learning activities are you now using? Which activities do you need to increase most?

Read widely Explore Web resources Listen and be open to new ideas Raise questions in faceto-face and Web dialog Accept feedback Reshape your ideas Innovate and experiment to test new assumptions Solve problems Unlearn Teach Follow your intuition Review and react Seek renewal constantly

Need to do morepodcasts during easy tasks. I need to read my yoga books. Porn??? Need to spend more time learning Yes! I do this one! Only from people I feel really know what they are talking about. I could be more open to some. I need to do this more. I always wonder how people have so many questions to ask during conversation. If people would give me feedback, maybe I should ask for feedback. I do this very well. I am very innovative and I like to experiment with things. But usually I just know it will work better and dont need to experiment. I solve every problem that comes my way. It might not always be the best solution, but it is a choice. I am not sure what this means? I teach a lot, but need to start using a nonbiased view and more academic support. Less drama and opinion I do this sometimes. But recently I was told that I am very intuitive and to listen! I think I react accordingly. This I could do more of. I am always so caught up in the moment, I never think that it could be obsolete.

Recall a recent successful learning experience in which you combined at least three of these types of intelligence: Moved to Mexico to teach English and learn Spanish I had to see patterns and recognize cognates from both language, and also had to think grammatically and academically at all times for my students. While living there I taught English; re-evaluating my own language and learned Spanish without any formal classes. Only through daily life did I learn it. Becoming much more aware of language and the power it holds. I had to visualize words in my head while teaching and learning English I used my body language to stress what I was saying and keep my students interested in what I was saying. Sometime I would apply tones to each sound of English language to help my students remember it like a scale. Each different note is also a different sound with the mouth. I had to feel where my class was at and how they were feeling about the lesson in order to help strengthen any lack of understanding. I was very aware of the process of language acquisition in the moment for me. It was very interesting to watch. Think about your preferred learning patterns. Which intelligence type are you most aware of as you learn? Which are you least aware of? I do not think in a linear logical way, but rather in an abstractlinear way. I utilize the theories given from logical thinking and apply them to a more abstract thinking in order to see the whole picture and better understand. I do think logically, I see patterns, I reason very well. I just do it in a non-linear way. I have become more of a linguist over the years since I began writing and studying topics of interest like yoga. Now, after teaching English and learning Spanish, and really watching language acquisition, I am much more linguistic than ever before .I love to manipulate words and really work on saying something perfectly. Right now in writing not so much in speech, but it is coming along. As a dancer I am very good at visualizing what it is I need to be doing with my body. I always visualize things in my head and am able to solve problems using this intelligence. If I can picture it, I can solve it, or do it. Dancer, mover, shaker. My whole life has been spent sharpening the relationship between mind and body. The mind is definitely going through a update, and my body should follow right along with it. I needed to develop my tone and rhythm. I like to tap, but have never been good at finding my own rhythm. I am more of a see and repeat person. I am not good at reading people. I am getting better because I have started to listen to my intuition, but I still never really think about it. I just interact and connect with them and then move on my way. I am very connected to myself and how I feel. I am always aware of what is going on inside me through meditation, yoga, dance, and friends.

Overcoming aloneness

Since the verbal and non-verbal signals that stimulate activity in the traditional classroom are not present, you need to demonstrate confidence and readiness for online activity.

Initiating interaction

Go ahead, begin! Remember, in the online learning environment everyone has a voice.

Developing technological skill

Technological know-how is essential; build competence in the instructional platform as rapidly as possible; add skills as you go; use available technical support resources; keep a hard copy of important work. Dont get sidetracked, but use the Internet to explore and locate rich information resources related to course topics and assignment. Be an inquiring learner. Find out how to document material you gather from the Web, properly citing your sources. Anxiety and frustration most commonly occur in online learning situations when there are gaps in communication, or when communication is not clear. You shouldnt guess at what is intended, but be directand persistentuntil you get a clear answer every time vagueness exists.

Using Web resources

Practicing persistence

My writing is clear, I dont know how others vaguenes s is my problem What is flaming? Follow yamas and niyamas for sure

Participating honestly and gracioiusly

Meeting deadlines Enjoying relaxation

Its important to remember the human aspectis of Cyberspace. Your interactions are with other human beings who value respect and honesty, even as you do. Web etiquette (often called Netiquette) emphasizes these basic conventions: respect others points of view and privacy; avoid derogatory comments; be time-zone and culturally conscious; refrain from flamingi.e. control your emotions. Be honest and willling to share knowledge and experiences. Self discipline is the key to meeting deadlines, and an irreplacable habit if online learning is to be satisfying and successful. Find the Internet Lounge on your universitys instructional platform and engage in open dialog with other students. These informal exchanges are vital sources of information and personal encouragement!
