Week 2 Journal

I believe that in the 21st century, everyone has their own unique learning style. Being able to learn via the web and emerging technologies create a new and engaging learning environments. This past week, we had class asynchronously. I actually enjoyed this kind of learning because it allows everyone to work at their own pace and communicate through the internet while keeping up with the newly learned applications. Having exposure to the internet and these applications will keep students up to date with technology.

Cognitivism is an excellent example of a theory on how I perform my work or duties. Cognitisim deals with information processing where thinking, memory,knowing, and problem solving is heavily explored. I believe that majority of learners including myself, apply this theory to their work. Incorporating this theory seems quite simple and seems like the ideal way of learning. A metaphor that is commonly used for cognitivism is information comes in, being processed, and leads to certain outcomes.
