Double Journal Entry #3

Quote:
"The visual learners like to have a general idea about what they want to learn before they get the details (Al-Failkawei, 2005). Moreover, the visual learners like to organize their place, especially the place where they usually study and learn. A well-organized place will improve the visual learner's ability to comprehend a topic (Al-Failkawei, 2005). Posters can get the visual students’ attention (Al-Failkawei, 2005). There are some words (noun or verbs) that will attract the visual learners. The noun words are vision, scene, image, eye, show, color. The verb words are imagine, clear, recognize, watch, and see (Al-Takriti, 1997). Visual learners like to read books that have color pictures (Al-Failkawei, 2005)."

Response:
After reading the article on the three different types of learners, (visual,auditory and kinestetic) and taking the survey I have discovered that I am a visual learner.  I thought that the quote was very interesting in that all of these circumstances applied to my learning style before I even knew what type of learner that I was.  As a future elementary school teacher, it will be beneficial to be able to recognize what type of learner that each of your students are.  When using classroom instructional time, you will have to modify your lesson to be able to connect with all types of learners.  When doing a science activity with the students you can make sure that you have charts and graphs for the visual learners, class discussions for the auditory learners and hands on activity for the kinestetic learners.
