Kurzweil: the ins and outs. Learning how to use Kurzweil, how we are able to use the different aspects of the program, how the program would benefit our students was the structure of the night. It is very interesting and different to learn how to use a new computer program. I am very weary when it comes to technology because I am not the technological inclined. Therefore with my learning style I need to be a hands on learner in order to discover the ins and outs of it and store it in long term memory. Seeing something, like a lot of students that I have dealt with just will not cut it. We need to be hands on learners to do the best that we can. Listening to someone, like our students often tell us is that this does not make sense, it is not interesting, and the students have a tendency to tune out. However, when we make it interesting, get the students involved and work hands on with what we give them we provide them with a maximum learning opportunity.
