I am a Visual Learner!

The results of the learning style quiz suggested that I am primarily a visual learner, which does not surprise me. I often picture material/information in my head that I need to recall and learn best when information is presented with pictures or graphic organizers. I found it helpful to read the techniques suggested (such as using flashcards, color coding and writing down key information) and was happy to see that I do many of these.

There are many implications for teaching, since students in any given class come from each of the learning styles. As a special education teacher, my students often require information to be presented in many ways and with repeated exposure. I try to integrate auditory directions with visual/pictorial cues for my students, and do as much movement as possible to ensure that all learners can be successful. Technology can be a key component to allowing students the visual, auditory and tactile input they need to learn.
