Week 9: Learning Styles

Hi everybody!

It is true that knowing our students' learning style is a "vital weapon" to help us in delivering  the knowledge to them. What I have in my mind when reading the research findings conveyed by Terry O'Connor from Indiana State University "Using Learning styles to Adapt Technology for Higher Education" we realized that  learning is not only for our students by for us as well to help us to be a better teacher.

Today, IT has become part of our daily life.  I like IT very much, because IT can take me 'everywhere'.

Technology, then, will be my 'new partner' in fulfilling my dreams to be able to share  to students. I will use it to enhance the teaching that I've never done before. Fortunately, my campus can facilitate us well and I found my students (as I often meet them almost everyday in class)   are familiar with technology as well (sometimes they are more modern than us).

But the most important thing is creating the best method of teaching through students' eyes, and knowing their learning styles better will help us in enhancing it. The chart provided by Colin Rose: http://www.chaminade.org/INSPIRE/learnstl.htm will help me a lot when determining the students learning styles. and then I can elaborate Richard M. Felder classification to give the students, the suggestions to know how the learners help themselves.

Happy finding our students' learning style!
