Learning Techniques

I have learned a lot of learning techniques in this class so far. Here are a few I have learned:

• SMART Goals
  • The SMART goals are an easy way to set goals to help you complete your homework assignments or how to set life goals.
    • Advantages:
      • Very detailed
      • Helps breakdown large goals into smaller goals
      • Helps set goals you didn’t even know you had
      • Helps you complete your goals
    • Disadvantages:
      • Take a while to set
      • Although they are very detailed they can take awhile to set and think through everything to write or say
      • Takes time away from actually completing the task because you take time to write out the goals

• Trello
  • Trello is a website or app that helps you keep track of all of your assignments, it basically is a calendar that you can input your assignments with their due dates and it will remind you when something is due.
    • Advantages:
      • You make it
      • It can be as detailed as you want
      • You can color code everything so you know what is what
      • Can different boards for different things in your life
    • Disadvantages:
      • It takes awhile to set up
      • You have to look at both your assignments on Carmen and then type them into the app
      • Here is a picture of my Trello: Trello

• Study Scheduler
  • Study scheduler is an app on your phone that you input times to study for assignments and it will remind you to study.
    • Advantages:
      • It reminds you when to study
      • You get to set the times and what to study for
      • You can put in as many times to study as you want
    • Disadvantages:
      • Takes times to set the study times
      • If you have your phone on silent you will not get the notifications to study
      • I always forgot the times I put in to study and get sidetracked doing other school assignments

I have attached pictures of each of the technologies. I also attached a picture of my Trello account of how I separate the different topics and assignments. I have used Trello before and that is my favorite thing to use out of everything that has been introduced in this class this semester.
