Discussion Week 9

It is really interesting topic talking about learning styles. Not all students are using the same strategies to learn a given topic. Therefore teachers are invited to cater for a variety of styles to assure that the maximum of learning is taking place.  In the same lesson, first a teacher needs to provide visuals, such as pictures, movies or posters. Second, a teacher need to provide audio part, either his or her voice or bringing materials that would suit the purpose to cater for the auditory learners. Third, there is a necessity for something to be touched as handout, books, or documents that a learner can make use of. There is a need that that a learner should voice what he or she has been learning. 

I think technology would serve perfectly the classroom prerequisite. The countless tools that we have been exposed to along this course are outstanding and practical once we will have mastered their utilization. In fact there are many tools and applications, but we need to be careful in choosing the suitable tool for to satisfy the need and curiosity of our students.   Howard GARDNER’S theory of multiple intelligences emphasis on how can teachers “integrates educational theories, teaching strategies, and other pedagogic tools in meaningful and useful ways to better address the needs of students.”

“Learning styles and strategies” differentiates between active and reflecting learners. It is so enlightening to read about way and techniques that “sensing learning help themselves “.  There are comprehensive situations that a learner should adopt and adapt, being a sequential, or being a visual and verbal learner, or being a global learner.
