Explain how the reading expanded your knowledge of how we use our senses and memory interact with the world.
The reading expanded my knowledge in the way that I did not know that senses and memory had anything to do with multi-tasking. I guess I had never thought about it very much because most of the time when you are multi-tasking, you don't think about what you are doing...you just do it.
Provide some examples of the various types of memory from your academic career.
In my academic career, I use working memory mostly in math. Since working memory is where thinking gets done. Math is a process and you really have to think when solving a math problem. I use sensory memory when studying for a test. I have a process when studying for a test and I think my brain involuntarily remembers things because of the way I study. I use long term memory by studying as well. After all, that is why we study in the first place...to remember, right?
How has this class so far interacted with your existing scheme of instructional technology?
This class has shown me how to integrate different types of technology into the classroom.
Multitasking: Fact or fiction based upon your reading?
Fact. I believe that no matter if you are working at a job, cooking dinner, studying for a test or taking notes for a class...you are multi-tasking. We do it everyday.
