My Learning Style

In reading about and researching the topic of learning styles, presented in Session 5, I have to say that I am probably a visual and spatial learner with kinetic tendencies. When I think about all my educational experiences and about the learning environments where I felt most successful and comfortable, I think in pictures, in visions, in graphic organizers and in ways that flow in a logical manner. I like things to look good, neat, organized and balanced. I am very creative and my designs are often symmetrical and well thought out to be pleasing to the eye and not over stimulating. I gain the most from watching and doing. I comprehend the most from the lessons in this course, CEP 810, that are presented through a video with graphics or examples. Lessons  presented in text format are the most challenging for me to attend and grasp, as these lessons take the most time for me to comprehend. Listening to Pod casts seem to be better for me than reading the text format. In light of what we have been learning about in regards to learning styles, I realize the importance of using various approaches and methods necessary to teach content and skills. A variety of teaching approaches is a must in order to reach all students.  Creativity must be incorporated as much as possible to keep the attention and interest of the students.
