Meaningful Learning
Learning is a continuous process which adds new information to the existing information. If learner is interested to relate new information with the existing one instead of just adding it, then he is attempting meaningful learning, and rote learning is a learning technique which avoids understanding of a subject and instead focuses on memorization. The major practice involved in rote learning is learning by repetition. The idea is that one will be able to quickly recall the meaning of the material the more one repeats it. yes I agree that technology plays a big role in learning. I remember 1st year college I learned how to create an effective pwerpoint presentation; where now I know everything about creating a professional powerpoint presentation.

What do you think about meaningful learning versus rote learning? Based upon your own opinion do you think technology can contribute to meaningful learning? How? Give an example from your experience of something that you learned that would be considered a meaningful learning experience.
The bright yellow is a little rough on the eyes. You provided a good definition of learning, rote learning, and meaningful learning; however, I am not sure what you think about the difference between the two. Moreover, a more elaborate example of your how you learned to make a ”powerpoint presentation" was made meaningful. –Dr Emet
